HAHAHAHA! I bet you thought I wouldn't give them a happy ending, didn't you! Well I'm back! I feel like Sherlock or Moriarty (sorry, Sherlock spoilers if you haven't seen season 3 yet). No, I wouldn't leave off on both them dying! I was going to... You better thank me for making them live! Or, well, continue on.
Calypso's POV
The Underworld. Never in my life, er, well, afterlife, had I thought I'd see this place.
I look around the Fields of Asphodel at all the confused faces surrounding me. I am probably the only one here who can remember who they were in life. Probably one last curse from the gods.
I know the people here are confused. That they have no idea who they are or where they are. That they wouldn't recognize anyone from life. But I still search. I search for the one face that ever mattered to me.
I wander. I wander for what feels like forever. It feels like years have gone by, and I am just wandering. Maybe he got into Elysium. Or maybe he's just off somewhere across Asphodel. Maybe I'll never see him again.
I am about to give up hope. Then, I see it. His face. Leo's.
I rush up to him. I look into his eyes. But he doesn't see me. I dont' know what he sees, but it isn't me.
"Leo," I whisper, as I touch my hand to his ghostly face. "It's me. Calypso. Your girlfriend."
I think my words will bring him back. I am mistaken. I take a deep breath. There is one more thing I can try. I send a silent prayer to Aphrodite, asking for once, just once, if I could have a happy ending. Just a happy ending. That's all I ask for. I hold his face in my hands. I bring him closer to me. I close my eyes and press my lips against his. I hope it will work. His skin feels more solid. His arms wrap around me. He reacts to the kiss. I smile, and he smiles. I pull away and look him in the eyes.
"Thank you," I say. "For waking up."
"A tragic love story." That is the best way to describe my life. But tragic love stories can have happy endings, too. Even if I'm stuck in Asphodel, I'm still happy. And all because I never gave up. Because true love is never a lost cause.
