-Calypso-

New Rome was a mess.

No. Not as a untidy, filthy place to be, but collapsed buildings from what she could see. The smaller buildings in New Rome were now rubble or had huge holes in them. And the sturdier, public buildings were much worse.

It was comparable to New Rome being boomed by ten Argo II ships.

The damage was evenly spread and no building was spared. Not that she could see of. The farms which supported the citizens were in rubble, as their wood structures would not have held against a attack that left even the most indestructible of buildings in ashes, and all the animals had probally died off with it. She could still see fires burning some of the buildings, but most of them were under control.

Even from the hill she could make out all the destruction caused by whatever happened. There was a line of utterly destroyed buildings which made her believe there was some kind of stampede.

Calypso only had been here for one day, but she knew from the looks and expresions on everyone's face that Camp Jupiter was a proud, strong nation of people who would fight to the end. Reyna had also told her they could have dismantled nearly all of New Rome and Camp Jupiter and rebuilt it exactly the way it was in a few days.

Well, it looked like they could.

Walking to the city was just a magnification of the destruction that was shown. People were just lying on the street, some had nasty burns from the poison frogs, some were okay, but all looked shaken. No medics were found outside. Only people who wanted to help the fatally injured were present. House windows had been smashed and shops and public buildings evacuated. Water was leaking in some houses while others were still burning. Strangest of all, there were tridents similar to what Christopher or whatever his name was analysed the ground.

"What happened here?" Frank shouted.

"Telekhines." Chris darkly replied. "They must have been searching for me."

Meanwhile, Leo noticed a small girl that looked lost, so he ran to her and told her mother could be in the hospital-if there was one remaining. The girl was clutching a half burnt action figre of a roman soldiers(A/N: PROPAGANDA!). She had a cough and ash was in her ginger hair, like snowflakes.

Calypso excused herself from the conversation and walked over to the child and said, "Hello, were here to help, do you know where your mother is..."

"Leah." The girl replied. "Mommy ran to the hospital with my bro, he has a burn on him. I couldn't catch up. Can you take me there Mr Stranger?"

Leo gave her a weak, but comforting smile, "Come on, Leah, let's find your mom." He took her and Calypso's hand, while shouting at the others, "Let's go to the hospital, we can find out what's happened here!"

Calypso smiled at her boyfriend. He was good with handling kids.

"Good idea." Frank mumbled, listening in. His arms looked like he couldn't carry Hazel much longer.

When she, her friends and the girl found the nearest hospital.

The hospital, as expected, was not a sight the godess wanted to see again.

They saw people everywhere, laying on the floor, throwing up or growing hge red warts on parts of their body, the doctors and uninjured looked like ants scurrying around trying to find help for the masses of people piling up at their doorstep. There were screams from upstairs and the crunching of bone. They went into Calypso's core, but she refrained from having a panic attack. One week and she was taken from her home, she was fine with that, but the world was more worse than the horrors of ther home, if she could call it her home-insted of a prison.

The goddess could since the atmosphere going from shock to rage. Hazel, Chris and Leo looked horrified, while Frank and Reyna had their fists clenched so tight that their knuckles were ash grey. Reyna's fury was scary, her eyes were squinting and she had short and narrow breaths, like she was trying to bottle the anger in. Calypso was amazed by how she didn't show any signs of wanting to throw up. The breakfast she had eaten was halfway up her throat now.

"I should have never left for my cabin." Reyna said, barely whispering though her teeth.

Calypso was never the one to know about saving lives, as she was stuck on her island for nearly all her life, but she did know a thing or two about patching up people, as she did help the Titians in the first Titian war. Granted, immortals couldn't die, but Calypso saved a minor titian from having a hole though his chest for all eternity.

Mortals were too frail and week, but they could still be saved. There was still hope for some.

"Show us to your mother, Leah," Calypso asked, "Go with Leo, I will try and help people. I'll be around here if you need me, Leo."

"I think my mommy's there, Mr Leo." Leah said, shaken by the scene in front of her.

"Okay, let's go girl! Meet me back here guys!" Leo and Leah imediently ran off, Leah as fast as Leo. Calypso decided to help someone.

Frank and Hazel went off another direction, so she was stuck with a seething praetor and the shape shifter who made the later's mood worse.

"Reyna, Chris, could you find some medical equipment or find an official to talk to?"

Reyna simply nodded, and rushed off. Chris ran the opposite direction, grumbling at how he was forced to help because of his guilt.

"Who are you?" Asked a few voices of the civilians who were lying on the ground with poison burn injuries.

"She's-She's Calypso! That dammed witch!" An old lady with a scratch mark on her face and bruises on her arms said. "She will turn us all into animals! Damm the witch!"

"I'm here to help!"

"How can we trust you?"

Other people cried out the same question, demanding her to leave the camp before any more bad luck befell on them.

Some threw empty ambrosia packet wrappers at her, and commented on how she should be on her island. They dared not to attack her as they presumed Calypso would turn them into pigs. It was unfortunate how she had forgotten how to do that. It would have been most practical now.

Calypso had a short temper, something prominent in her after the Percy Jackson incident.

Calypso had enough. "Just because I'm born from a titian doesn't mean that I'm a raging cannibal or a war lord. Some of them are peaceful."

(A/N: Everyone loves a sassy Calypso!)

"But you brought that boy with you! He's destroyed-"

"He was possessed!" Calypso tried to help some people, but they flinched or moved away. Luckily a doctor came to her help, handing her bandages, ambrosia and other essentials.

"I can't help you, I have more injure patients, so trust her or have you injuries worsen." Everyone moaned and complained at the doctor.

"Some people have it worse than you. A boy I'm overseeing has a trident impaled in his leg. Its in one of his major arteries as well." Calypso suddenly felt sick. The doctor then quickly left.

After a few more minutes of explaining as fast as she can, some looked like they would die, so the injured gave in.

Then some people let her help them, but some still refused to be helped, so she just ignored them because reasoning just slowed time to heal the other patients.

She wished that she had remembered healing magic now.

She crawled over to a man with a burn on his arm and wrapped a bandage around it, tearing a chunk off the ambrosia and force feeding the poor sod.

"You're going to be okay, I've seen more worse burns." The man didn't respond, bit instead groaned in agony.

She continued to give words of encouragement to the other people as she patched them up.

She went to another patient with an infection on is arm after the frog burns. She was going to question what had happened here, as frogs would not have just because the destruction she had seen for herself. They weren't speaking, as they were in pain or refused to talk to her.

A few minutes later, Reyna and Chris came back, with that wretched cow of a man, William. She was half glad that he had a burn on his face.

"What is she doing here? She needs to be put on trail. For causing all of this!"

Calypso may have been a kind goddess in the past, but she was still an immortal looking at a mortal she would normally deem less than her. At least her ego had been reduced to a cinder, as if not, the man would be dead.

"Let her help!" Reyna complained, "She knows how to help, we need as many medics a possible! Rome only has a few qualified medics, and the others, well; they don't know how to heal a fatal wound like the healers in Camp Half Blood." It did sound true. Leo had told her that Camp Half Blood was tinier, but it was because they weren't that militaristic or organised. Leo also told her they sing hymns. Calypso could relate to that.

"I do not need telling, young lady! Camp Jupiter has always handled this. And don't even think of starting about the other Camp. I will strip you of your preator-ship when were done!"

"Mercury told us-"

"I do not care! This is the gods punishment for holding two outlaws and making them at home!"

"Have you not been listening to me?" Reyna burst out; William had no guards, so he slightly cowered under the subtle rage of Reyna. It was quite ammusing seeing a full grown man squirm under the glare of a fuming teenager. She was the daughter of a war godess, after all.

"How many times have I told you, we need all the help we can get. Hermes or Mercuy was good enough to help us! HE gave us help. A scroll. You can have a look at it. I don't care. I have no clue what it is, but I will find out. And also, what I do know is that bandages and ambrosia is not gooing to cover for everybody! Yes, we have delt with this." Reyna spoke in her iciest tone yet, the key words being pronounced slowly, "The demigod Civil Wars, the fall of Rome and the siege of Polybotes. But not in the masses, there are thousands of innocent people injured. It not just the Cohorts. We have to look at this diffrently! And for your information, Terminus's border has been pierced, so gods help us, or bodies will start pilling!" Everybody was hearing the commotion. It was probably rare for Reyna to even show emotion aginst an opinion. Some looked scandalised that Reyna was disregarding William's demands. Others looked intrested at the drama.

Reyna went to whisper in the later's ear, and only a few people, including Claypso, heard "So get your head out of your ass! It isn't a hat."

William looked scandalised.

He shouted, "Fine. Do your crackpot idea! It will not work. The old fasioned ways were always better." and then gave Calypso a dirty look before walking away.

-Reyna-

There was so much stress on her mind that she had to let it out on one of the most powerful people in New Rome, the poor man deserved less. She had seen him a glorious senate leader with a fair rule, but his loss for his son may have worn him or even broken him, his son had also manipulated him, but a father's love was none the less there all the time. Like William, Reyna would never see her home crumble. She would proudly die trying to save it.

"I'm going to be be in so much trouble." She said, but Chris gave her a pat on the back and said.

"We've got more in hands." Reyna nodded. She felt a bit satisfied, even the slightest , getting to rant at someone she loathed and earning respect from somebody who may know a few facts about the craziness that was happening in Camp.

"There are rumors that the farm animals that died, were dead before the monsters attacked. They also mentioned a swarm of flies are feasting on whatever's left. Some say they give you an infection. We've also heard that half of the ghosts and other nature sprits are dying or disappearing. Nearly all of the senate are injured and one is dead. It's certain that the Promethean Line has been shattered. Hordes of monsters came here. The damage you saw was, infact, a telekhine rewiring a bulldozer to go nuts." Chris said.

It was a sort of thing Leo would do.

"I don't get why your camp has a bulldozer when you said you could dismantle and rebuild it in a day." Chris said to Reyna.

"Did I exactly say that? Rome was not built in a day. Anyway, Camp Jupiter is under siege from a legion sized horde of telekhines, Chris flew over to the Field of Mars and found a group of telekhines and vampire looking women." Reyna continued, "We were hoping if you know what they are."

"They could be Empoisi, but you would have spotted them." Calypso talked to herself. "They might be Murmo, vampire, child flesh eating monsters."

"Than-"

BOOM!

The loud noise was from outside, where there were shouts from someone, a roar from a monster and a strong gust of wind that broke one of the windows. The poor lday near the window had a heart attack. Reyna and Chris left Calypso to tend the wounded as they jumped down the stairs and ran to the front of the hospital where they found Leo, Festus and a 1 metre pillar. Reyna wasn't that surprised at his antics. When the two got closer to the commotion, they saw Leo howling in pain, as his left foot was trapped underneath the pillar and a few stupid legionaries were trying to pull him out, which only probably made the pain worse.

The dragon slowly lifted the pillar up and Leo's helpers moved him out and onto the ground. Festus' engines and mechanical wiring creaked and groaned as it put the pillar back down, so that the piller was not dammaged. Calypso must have heard this and her voice was heard from the hospital.

"Leo! Leo! Are you all right?"

Leo made out a small sound, but nothing recognisable was heard from the mechanic. Festus tried to land, but was too big, so he perched on the roof of the hospital, causing the building to rumble, but not crack.

"What-sound-like?" Leo rasped through his clenched teeth. At least the idiot still had his odd, but funny sense of humour.

"Leo! Oh my gods!" Calypso says, her magic flickering but she couldn't heal him. Reyna could try and heal Leo, but her magic always went wrong. Why wasn't her sister here when they needed her?

A few paramedics came and put a clasp around Leo's foot and told him to stay still.

One of the doctors, Dr Lewis, came to Calypso and asked her to remain calm as they had handled this situation before.

"What if he is unable to move?" Calypso asked the doctor.

"The nectar and ambrosia we are feeding him should be enough. We've give him antiseptic so that his foot is as numb as possible. I think he has broken his toe and some other bones in his foot." Dr Lewis whipped his sweat off his face and pushed his glasses up, "I dare not to feed him more, we've gone through more than half of our ambrosia and nectar. The best chance of him healing is mortal medicine and a good days rest."

Calypso nodded and Reyna asked, "What's this pillar? And why is it so heavy?"

She pointed at the marble behind Calypso or next to Chris and said to them "I honestly don't know. Can you read this?"

"I probably can't. I dunno any other languages except English. I'll go find somebody to help us." Chris said, running off.

Something was off.

"I'll try, Dr Lewis, where are you putting Leo?"

"The second west floor of the hospital." Calypso's eyes wartered.

Reyna then realised something about Calypso, she, like any other gods, radiated a lot of power, but she did not decide to show it, unlike any other titans she had faced. A day back digging in the archives noted Reyna that Calypso was the granddaughter of the two most powerful primodorials and the daughter of the maddest titan. She was the most peaceful. Off all the gods and goddess Reyna had ever met or heard, Calypso was the most down-to earth one. She was so caring.

Calypso said her tearful goodbye to Leo as he was carried off to the hospital and turned towards Reyna, the girls both studied the pillar. The goddess looked like she was going to break down any moment, so Reyna patted her on the back and said,

"He'll be okay. He did die and come back." Calypso grinned grimly at that.

Wow. Reyna thought.

She thought she could never do the touchy-feely thing.

The pillar was just a round cylinder with flat circular bases on the top and bottom. There were not concave curves or any angles that would specify it to be Roman/Greek so it to be from somewhere else. The writing was odd as well, as there were drawings of eyes and hands instead of Latin or Greek symbols. One side looked different from the other, like it was another translation. Some of the piller was dammaged, and Reyna didn't think it could be read.

Reyna looked at the goddess and they were both struggling to understand what the symbols read, so they gave up trying.

"Wait." Reyna said. She had noticed a lable with Greek looking words on the bottom pillars which she pulled off and asked Calypso to read.

"It says Hermes Express." Reyna pulled out the lable, scrunching it up and stuffed it in her pocket. "That doesn't help at all." Calypso scanned the rock. They tried looking for some clue, and a few seconds later, Chris came back with middle aged man on tow.

"I've brought help!" Chris gently scratching the cuts on his stomach underneath his shirt and gave the other two a grin.

The help clicked their finger and said, "Its Egyptian! I can read it!"

"What?" Calypso asked.

"Its a language from a different place in the world."

"No, Leo told me that, but why is there Greek on it?"

"The Greeks and Egyptians mixed a bit. Alexander the Great anyone?"

Silence.

Awkward. Nobody did their homework

"He liberated Egypt after the Persians took over. Then that fell and the Romans took over." The man sighed. "If the Egyptians were alive, they would hate our guts."

Reyna knew what Calypso was thinking. She had missed a lot.

"Are you a translator?"

"Yes, my wife has this book she got from a salesman; he said it was an artefact he got from a village in Egypt. Its helped us study foren languages. I know Latin and Egyptians" He answered back. "My name is Dale Atkinson, by the way, nice to meet you both, especially you, praetor, I've heard about your journey to Italy and back!"

The flattery was enough to give Reyna a slight blush on her cheek, even if it didn't show. "Thank you, Mr Atkinson." She gave a genuine smile. "Anyway, please tell us what it says."

Mr Atkinson scratched his head. "Well, it says;

"Well done, highest buyer! You have sold your-I can't read that part-me..." Mr Atkinson read it with near fluency.

What?

"...To find out the secrets to fufil your desires. Here!" Mr Atkinson looked at the rest of the carvings and frowned. "The Egyptian after that has been worn off. And the other side is no help. I don't know what they are. They look old and its not Egyptian."

This must be the wrong piller or something.

There was supposed to be a cure or help for this. Wasn't there? A way to stop the events happeneing?

The river to blood had already happned.

Raining frogs with the tendancy to give you nasty burns had happened.

And why did it say highes buyer? Greedy. Did the people who made it sell it for money? Weren't they struck by the curse?

What was going on?

Confusion. It was.

Calypso leaned over and read the other side in more detail for the next five minutes, resorting to sitting down and reading the bottom parts. She then muttered something.

"It could be the old tongue." Calypso said "Ancient ancient Greek dialect. I can't speak it, if your wondering. Father never taught me. I only learnt the Ancient Greek after that."

"Monster Greek? Why that?"

"If thats what you would call it. I don't know why it's there."

"I think its like the Rosetta Stone!" Atkinson said.

"What?"

"It helped the people today find out what Egyptian was, there were three same text, but in different languages.

"I think some monsters spoke it back...there." Chris mumbled.

"So you're saying we need a monster?"Calypso asked.

Reyna clicked her fingers.

"Will a Cyclops or a Harpy do?"

Who loves sassy Calypso?

I do!

I havent updated in a bit cause of some plot holes that I had to fill. Lets just say I had to read some books I naver have. The research I have made to perfecten this story took me two or three to make sence and jumble into my story. It also took that long cause of my mom being a bloody tourist. In a city we could visit all year cause we live there! I was gonna spend my summer holidays in my house, but noooooo. She had to drag me somewhere!

Anyway, bad pen, stop ranting! Review and Follow!
