WELCOME to the last chapter of this story. I'm sad to see it end, but it's time for new beginnings (and for me to focus on my other stories too).

Okay so I don't know who dies in Blood of Olympus so let's just assume that no one did for the sake of this chapter :) And please DO NOT TELL ME WHO DID DIE in the comments because I want to read it for myself. Anyway I'm not sure if I'd make this into a sequel, but I, well how about you guys read and decide the fate of Leo's new quest, I kind of like the idea that you guys can choose if he succeeds or not. If it is cliched I'm sorry but this came to me and I thought it was kind of sweet. And as I was writing it kind of took on a mind of its own.

I'm serious it really did. Sorry if it seems kind of slow, but the battle is over good guys won and stuff so this is the after war melancholy. I think this chapter has turned out well and gives the story a nice end.

But now that this story has reached its end I can now focus on my other story and I'll even post my crossover fanfiction soon. Trust me when I say that there will not be many, if any, long delays on updating that one. It has over one hundred pages on a word document.

Leo sat in the once busy bunker. They had won the war and Gaea was finally defeated. He was happy that the Earth witch had gotten what she deserved, but he didn't feel like it was a victory of any sort. After all, the one person he wanted to survive didn't. His brown eyes fell lazily onto the still fiery red flower, it was thriving in the artificial sun he had made just for it and the bronze pot that held it seemed to glow red as well.

At first Leo wasn't sure he wanted to take the flower from the island. If it was actually Calypso reincarnated, then he felt like a kidnapper. How would anyone be able to tell if she wanted to leave the island or not? Percy had insisted that she would want to be with him, but Leo wasn't sure. Calypso had never said she loved him, or she at least didn't have the chance to.

He suddenly found it painful to look at the flower and went back to his work. Leo's tan hands were stained from his pencil and covered in paper cuts. Ever since the battle ended Leo had been working non stop trying to find an answer. A way to bring her back. It wasn't impossible. It had been done in both myth and real life.

Just look at Thalia.

So far Leo was coming up with nothing. He's read book after book in Greek, Spanish, Latin, and even English. Still he came up with zilch. It was so frustrating! With an irritated growl Leo shoved random books and papers from his desk. All of it was useless, he was useless! He could make anything he wanted yet he couldn't make a way to bring Calypso back. The demigod had considered going to Hades, but he wasn't sure if Calypso's soul was even like a mortals. It was doubtful that she'd end up there.

Leo let out a huff of air and looked around his once clean work shop. His half finished inventions lay scattared collecting dust, the walls were still charred from when he had lost control of his powers, and many of the old wooden chairs had been destroyed by his temper tantrum. See what you do to me Calypso? He thought soberly. Leo would change places with her in a heart beat. The poor demigod wanted to!

With a groan Leo shoved the latest book away and massaged his weary face with his hands. When something suddenly touched his shoulder, Leo yelped and fell out of his chair. He looked up and saw Piper smile softly at him.

"You look terrible Repair boy." She spoke kindly and helped him to his feet. "When's the last time you ate something?"

"Ate?" Leo asked as if the idea was an alien concept.

Piper scowled at him with her multicolored eyes, "Yes! You know 'eating'. An action where you stuff editable things in your mouth and chew."

"I'm not hungry." He turned away from her and sat back at his desk.

"You know what!" The daughter of Aphrodite shouted and turned his whole chair around. "I've had enough! You're killing yourself Leo. It's great that you want to find a way to bring her back, but you can't forget about yourself, your friends!"

Leo had never seen Piper this upset before. Tears were going down her face as she tried to fix his hair which was in desperate need of washing. He looked down at himself for what felt like the first time and realized, his cloths didn't really fit him anymore. Leo knew that he must have both looked and smelled like death.

"Do you think she'd want you doing this to yourself?" Piper's voice became even more desperate. "How can you save her if you die of starvation first?"

"I have to find a way." He muttered almost childishly.

Piper grabbed his hand and dragged him to his feet, "First you are going to eat and clean yourself up, then get some sleep, and then I'll help you find a way to save her."

When the sunlight first hit his eyes, Leo was blinded. He hissed in pain and covered them. Piper was determined to walk him all the way back to camp. For the first time Leo noticed how hard it was for him to walk. His legs trembled from the effort.

"You did it." He heard Jason's voice cheered. "I was afraid we'd have to send his entire cabin in to get him."

Leo's eyes finally adjusted to the light. He could clearly see his best friend Jason running towards them with a happy smile skewn on his face. The son of Hephaestus was surprised by the large 'bro' hug he received. The son of Jupiter could really crush the life remaining out of you.

"Beauty Queen can be pretty convincing." Leo gave a small smile.

Piper grabbed him by the ear, "Yup, so come with me for some food."

She was beyond mad with him. Leo and she have had their fights, but this was far different. He realized that he had scared her by letting himself fall apart. They are supposed to be friends and he pushed her and everyone else away. Now he was so weak from hunger and exhaustion that it was amazing he could stand. He could understand her contempt, but did she really have to take it out on his ear.

"Are you going to help me dude?" Leo asked Jason while trying to keep up with his captured ear.

"You did this to yourself." His friend shrugged and followed along. "She's been on a war path since the third day we didn't see you. We barely kept her back for as long as we have."

Piper finally stopped trying to yank his ear off when they reached the mess hall. All of their other friends were there. Frank and Hazel were setting up plates, Annabeth was working on setting up the food table, and Percy was setting down boxes of pizza. Leo blinked in surprise. Not only was there a lot of food, but they were all going out of their way to make sure that the food got to him.

"Isn't outside food illegal here?" He asked Percy and pointed to all of the forbidden treats.

"Only if we get caught." Percy winked and grabbed a blue cookie off of a plate. "And I doubt that they are going to punish us for being concerned for our friend's health. By the way my mom made six whole batches of blue cookies just for you."

The older demigod tossed the blue pastry to Leo. He wasn't exactally sure if anything that had been dyed blue would taste good. It was still warm and gooey. That's how Leo knew that they were fresh. Reluctantly he bit into it. It was absolutely, delicious! Percy's mom was an amazing cook!

Without trying to be obvious he made his way over to the plate with the yummy treats. Leo could feel his stomach begging for more, "They're alright."

"I'm glad you like them." Percy smirked knowingly.

"Why blue?" Leo asked and crammed two more cookies into his mouth.

"Long story." The son of Poseidon told him. "Which I will be happy to share if you eat some of the evidence."

Percy motioned to the tables chock full of every great mortal food imaginable. Hazel walked up to them and handed Leo a paper plate. After the plate was in his hand Annabeth grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the steaming boxes of Pizza. She pointed out her order and opened the box. Leo had no choice but to fill his plate with as much food as it could hold. They were all crazy.

And they all were a part of his familia, his crazy familia.

As soon as Leo filled his plate the others followed and all sat with him at the table. Percy told him about his and his mom's reasoning for blue food. Annabeth shared funny baby Percy stories (which she learned thanks to Percy's loving mother Sally). Piper and the others also jumped on the funny story wagon and they all just sat and talked. For the first time in a long time, Leo almost felt complete.

They didn't eat all of the 'evidence' in time like Percy had told them too. Leo was sleepy with a full belly, he barley even noticed Chiron come trotting in and looking at them all. If he was angry about the outside food, he never made any indication. The old centaur looked at Leo's pizza grease covered face and smiled in a fatherly manner.

"I'm glad to see you're eating child." He told Leo. Then he looked at Percy who was whistling innocently. "How did you manage to sneak all of this food past Peleus?"

"Blackjack." Percy gave his signature smirk. "Sugar cubes are his weakness."

Chiron grinned fondly and shook his head before leaving the demigods to their meal. Leo liked the guy, he wasn't too much of a stickler. It was nice to know that Chiron was the one in charge of the camp rather than the wine god. He would have turned them into grapes or something for breaking the rules.

"I think you should get cleaned up and go to bed Leo." Hazel nudged him as he was starting to doze off. "We've got everything covered here.

Too tired to argue, Leo stumbled to his feet and walked to the showers. Piper had already gone to the trouble of not only blocking it off, but also putting everything Leo needed into the bathroom. He bathed like a king with hot water and citrus smelling shampoo. As soon as he felt squeaky clean, the teen dried off and changed into the fresh clothes he had been provided with.

Clean is good sometimes. He told himself while trying not to curl up on the floor to sleep.

Frank was waiting awkwardly outside of the bathroom for Leo. He wondered why the Roman demigod would be standing there. Was someone planning to play a prank on him or something? When Frank saw him, he jumped in surprise.

"Uh...I was ordered to escort you to your cabin." the son of Mars began lamely as he rubbed the back of his head. "To make sure you got to bed."

"Are you going to tuck me in too?"

Frank blushed and said nothing. Leo knew it was best if he just did as he was told and finally give in to his exhaustion. It was a good thing too because as soon as his head hit his pillow he passed out and embraced a dreamless sleep. Waking up the next afternoon wasn't as easy as falling asleep however. The only reason he was awoken was because someone shook his shoulder roughly.

"What do you want?" He almost growled. Leo figured that it had been one of his half-siblings checking for signs of life.

"That's no way to talk to a god." A male voice spoke. "Especially one who comes baring gifts."

Sluggishly Leo sat up and hovering in front of him was a blonde haired guy in a track suite. Leo honestly wouldn't have guessed the man was a god if it weren't for the winged shoes. Winged shoes? He thought, What god wears those? Should I tell him I can make a better pair? Then it hit him. Hermes.

"I gotta make this quick. Unfortunately, I'm a very busy god and I have a lot of old deliveries to make up for." Hermes told Leo and snapped his fingers. A very large heavy box landed on his lap. "This box holds all ya need to possibly save that girl of yours."

Before Leo could ask him anything Hermes disappeared with a 'poof'. He really hated when gods did that. The weight on his legs reminded him of the reason for the messenger gods visit. Leo quickly tore through the box only to find new clothing, a tear stained note, a box of chocolates, and a jewelry box. Must have gotten Aphrodite's delivery.Though Leo quickly realized that the clothing was for a boy.

He ignored the chocolates, clothing, and jewelry box in favor of reading the note.

'Leo-

I know you have been going through a hard time and I feel for you. I've been going all around Olympus trying to find a way so that you can bring Calypso back. Trust me I had been routing for you two the whole time! No one could really come up with an idea, well, until I talked to Athena. And let me tell you, her superiority complex is killer. I mean how can she expect me to keep up with every bit of information out there! Anyway, sweetie, I think I've found something that MAY bring her back. Athena suggested, ever so smugly I might add, that blood from the right side of a Gorgon might restore Calypso's power. Unfortunately, the Gorgons still haven't reappeared. And if they do it definitely wont be in America. Let's not forget about Medusa! One look at her ugly, scaly face and you're no more! This may be a long quest, but it's up to you. Are you going to see if you can save her or let her go? As much as I hate to tell you this now, she isn't the only love you'll ever find.

So what is it going to be?

Love the ever lovely goddess of love Aphrodite

P.S: Make sure you eat all of the chocolate, chocolate is life! And a good comforter too!

P.P.S: Dress up nicely for a change! You are a knock out ;)'

Leo wasn't sure if he should laugh out loud at the letter or start tearing up. Did he really want to let her go? Maybe he was meant to move on. He opened the jewelry box to find a small, empty glass vile. Aphrodite had given him what he needed, but he was the one who had to choose.

"We'd be willing to help you, you know." The familiar voice startled him.

Both Piper and Jason had managed to come into the cabin undetected. On top of that they had been reading the letter over his shoulder. Leo didn't know what to say. They were willing to travel for gods knows how long for a 'maybe', for him? He tried to shoo away falling tears with his hand. Piper hugged him first and then Jason decided to join in.

"Thanks you guys." Leo smiled at them with teary brown eyes.

"So when do we leave?" Jason asked. "We should pack a lot of things."

"Maybe the others could help too." Piper suggested. "Let's go tell them repair boy."

The three friends marched out of the cabin and farther into the camp grounds. Leo felt gratitude swell in his chest. Even if this quest was for nothing, at least he knew he had friends who loved him with all of their hearts. The son of Hephaestus smiled at the sky and wondered what the future held.

PLEASE READ! I know! Don't hate me, please! I really like the ending. I'm smiling right now! I love this ending so much. I know that I've put a hopeful spin and I want you guys to let your imaginations go wild! Tell me in the comments weather you think Leo succeeds or if he has to let Calypso go.
