XII - Frank

The ferry wasn't exactly fun. It took three hours of each and everyone of us slowly hurling our guts out as we leaned over the edge. Let's say when I got to Delos, I was practically kissing the ground and kind of thanking Gaea for existing in the first place. We didn't exactly travel along steady waters. It didn't take long to figure out that Poseidon wasn't exactly paying attention to the ocean. There was a small town on Delos, but other than that it was mostly ancient ruins. There was security, but Hazel managed to use the mist to make them ignore us. Pretty handy right? They won't be arresting us if something charges at us and we 'accidentally' break something.

"So, anyone have an idea where Leto might be?" I asked slowly.

"I didn't exactly think about that," Annabeth frowned, "I just thought that we were going to get here, talk to her, end of story." We all gasped. That did not seem like the daughter of Athena to not think ahead.

"Since none of us had the foresight to actually think ahead," Jason began, "I think we should start at the ruins." That did seem like a good plan. However, when we visited the ruins scattered across the island, we all started to think otherwise. It was really just us walking around with Calypso and Annabeth ogling over every structure. Calypso was telling us about the history about all the various structures. Now, what Annabeth was doing really killed us. She gawked at every piece of marble and even licked one telling us how we could tell how old it was just by looking at it's something. To be honest, I fell asleep. She kept on going on about the 'wonderful history of these ancient landscapes' and 'how they truly give an insight into the people of the past'. To the rest of us, she sounded like a college professor teaching a subject we exactly didn't care about.

It was kind of tiring walking across the plains and we eventually stopped a small building in ruins that had a few columns still standing. I came to a rest sighing. "Start looking at the ruins," I sighed sardonically.

Leo frowned and looked around, "Who were we kidding, we've gotten no closer to finding Leto."

I too, was beginning to think our trip to the island was all for nothing when a nice, blonde lady walked up to us. She smiled lightly, "I hear that Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis here."

"Really?" Annabeth asked. She quickly walked up to a wall, swiped it quickly and licked her finger. "It is pretty old." Hazel gagged.

"Annabeth, you just lick a random building, again? To be honest, I don't know how you haven't gotten sick!" Hazel cried out in disgust.

"Hey, she can't help it if she that passionate about old, crumbly buildings," Leo remarked and the lady laughed.

"I have an immune system. The fact that I haven't gotten sick shows how good it is!"

After another bout of chuckles, the lady looked around. "That was a nice building in its prime. A shame it's old and not as beautiful anymore. I'm sure Apollo and Artemis would have been glad to stay here if they got the chance." The lady smiled before turning around.

"Wait a minute," Calypso paused. "Aunt Leto?" The lady turned around and gasped in surprise, ignoring us all and running over to Calypso. An immortal being instantly reveals herself in a whole bunch of people without a second thought? Wow.

"Oh, Calypso! You finally got off that awful island!" Leto hugged the girl and she hugged her back. "How have you been? It's been so long!"

"I'm good. These demi-gods helped get me off the island. Now I'm learning all that I can!" Leto smiled.

"The mortals are very fascinating! They come up with such trivial things to do that are great wastes of my time!" Leto laughed. Her laugh was bright a floral and hit our ears like a summer breeze. Her bright eyes reminded us of Apollo and his blue eyes. The glistened like sapphires in the sun's light.

"Oh, I can't wait to tell you all that I've learned and we have so much to catch up on!" Calypso squealed like a little girl and Leto did the same.

Annabeth coughed, "Ah, Calypso? Questions?"

"Right, right," Calypso calmed down.

"Questions? Is it about Apollo and Artemis as babies? They were so adorable! Apollo was so cute and Artemis, well she could kill you from birth! My little archers, such wonderful children," Leto smiled.

"Ah, you're right about the Apollo and Artemis, but wrong about the babies," I began. "Did Apollo and Artemis ever have any other siblings?"

Leto frowned and I hurriedly apologized, feeling sorry if I had offended her. "No, they're the only children I've had. Why do you ask?"

Piper started to explain, "Well, you see. One of our friends has been hurt by a god we don't know." Leto nodded sympathetically, "He might be related to Koios."

Leto frowned, "I don't remember any gods that were the son of Koios." Leto sat down on the grass. "What did he look like?"

Annabeth hissed, "Black hair, green eyes, pale, scrawny. Looks more like a teenager than a god." Leo and Calypso went off to hold the daughter of Athena down, trying to quell her rage.

"Nope, never heard of him." Leto nodded. She stood. "It was nice meeting you all, but I think I'll leave now." She began to leave and we didn't wish to say anything before she gave a pause. "Logos."

"What?" Annabeth asked.

"I can't remember why, but just 'Logos'." Leto frowned. "Do you know what that means?"

"It means 'reason' in Greek, but that's it."

"It just came to me." Leto started to walk away.

"Logos, it means reason." Piper frowned.

Annabeth jumped. "Frank!" she turned to me, "Was that god's name Logos?" I frowned. His name did start with 'Lo'.

"Annabeth, Logos is Greek," I countered. "I'm Roman. I doubt a Roman God with have a Greek name." She frowned.

"Maybe Logos is his Greek Form."

"That may be, but how can we be sure?" Hazel asked.

"I-I don't know, but Frank says there was a Roman God who could turn anyone sane."

Everyone turned to me. I wavered under their gazes. "Gah! I-I don't know his name! I've just-, he sounds familiar okay?"

"But who is he?" everyone asked.


Oh my gods (heh, see what I did there?). I am so sorry for the mediocre chapter, but I did promise to do something today. Once again *mumbles* don't know how many times I'm going to say this. But I update in Central Time. For some of you people, that means I'll be updating on the day after I say. Central Time is a time zone in America. I update on America's time because that is where I live. Okay? Capiche? Good. I'm glad we could reach an understanding. I don't want you to be mad or frustrated and I don't want to be mad and frustrated so I'll just explain that again... That is if you guys even read these. However, I will be editing this, so don't fear. It will be better!
