When Leo and Calypso arrived Mount Tam, Leo asked "Do we have to go through your sisters' garden?"
Calypso smiled and said "No, while that is the route most people would take to my father, there is an easier and safer way. Follow me."
When they reached the top of the mountain, Leo couldn't believe his eyes. Both Percy and Jason had told him about Mount Othrys, but still seeing the remains of the titan palace was hard to take in.
"Who goes there?" bellowed a loud voice.
"Father. It is me. Calypso." The Titaness called out to her father.
"Calypso. How have you escaped your prison?" Atlas asked as the titan came into view of his daughter and the son of Hephaestus.
"I was freed by this man who stands beside me. This is Leo Valdez, the love of my life." Calypso answered.
"Is he here to free me as well? Because then I will be happy to call a part of my family." Atlas said.
Some urge to free the titan overcame Leo, desperately wanting Atlas's approval.
However, Calypso had expected her father to pull something like this and took her beloved's hand and said "Leo no. Snap out of it."
At the sound of his girlfriend's voice, Leo remembered himself and moved back.
Atlas chuckled and said "I should've known you'd anticipate that trick, but tell me, how you were allowed to escape?"
"The gods originally promised to free me after the Titan war, but didn't. It wasn't until nearly a year later after defeating great grandmother that Leo here felt devoted enough to me to use an old navigation device from Odysseus to make his way back to my island to finally free me." Calypso said.
Atlas frowned, since there was clue in that information about how he could escape his own prison.
"Why did you come here than if not to free me?" Atlas then demanded.
"I haven't seen you since the first Titan war father. Can you not believe that I just wanted to see you?" Calypso asked.
"No, I think you came here so the boy could ask me for your hand in marriage." Atlas bellowed, seeing his daughter's true plan.
"Leo is still a year away from being able to marry me." Calypso said.
Atlas thought about it for a moment and then said "I will allow this demigod spawn to marry you under 2 conditions."
"What are those conditions before we agree to them?" Calypso asked.
"The first is that I would like you to continue to visit from time to time, since I know that the god will not show me the same leniency they have you. I would like to be able to see my beautiful daughter's face from time to time." The titan said.
Calypso nodded in agreement and said "Agreed, and your other condition is?"
"That the wedding be held here. While I may not be able to walk you down the aisle, I would at least like to see your wedding with my own eyes." Atlas said.
"That's kind of problem." Leo said.
"Why's that Greek?" Atlas barked.
"Because you have a history with some of the people that will be at the service." Calypso said.
"Which ones?" Atlas asked.
"Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. They are my friends." Leo said.
"What. You are friends with the people who trapped me under this burden again." Atlas snapped.
"Sorry father, but that's just the way things work." Calypso said.
"I will not give you my blessing to marry then." Atlas said.
"We're still going to get married eventually, we just thought it would be better to pretend to get your approval." Leo said as he and his girl left the titan bellowing in rage.
Percy and Annabeth had just finished settling into their new apartment and it felt good to finally be able to relax before their classes started tomorrow.
"It's going to take some getting used to. Living together, I mean." Percy said.
Annabeth nodded and said "Yeah, and while I love you, I've seen the inside of your cabin without Tyson picking up after you. Just to let you know, you will not be trashing our apartment and do not expect me to clean up after you."
Percy held up his hands in surrender and said "Relax, part of the reason I just threw my stuff everywhere was that I was the only one in the Poseidon cabin and didn't have to worry about sharing. But since we're sharing an apartment, I'll try to make sure I keep tidy."
Annabeth nodded, since as long as her boyfriend tried, that would be enough.
That night at dinner, Percy and Annabeth were eating with Frank, Hazel, Reyna and Mike Kahale, who was the new head centurion of the 1st cohort.
"So, have things been here at camp?" Percy asked Frank and Reyna.
"Ever since the defeat of Gaea, things have been running smoothly. With our new peace with the Greeks, the 12th legion Fulminata is stronger than ever." Reyna said.
"Several members from my cohort have actually been trying to switch to Hazel's." Mike said.
"Dakota and I wouldn't take them though. After all, if we weren't first choice before the giant war, than they should be stuck with their choice forever. A lot of newer members to the legion have joined our cohort though. Annabeth, I was actually hoping to talk to you about helping with the plans to expand our barracks. After all, since we used to be the worst cohort, we have the smallest barracks and with all the new members we're getting, we need more space." Hazel said.
Annabeth nodded and said "You and Dakota can stop by our apartment tomorrow after class discuss this."
"Great." Hazel said.
Percy noticed that Mike and Reyna seemed to be sitting extremely close to one another.
"So Reyna, you and Mike seem to be awfully close." Percy said.
Reyna blushed and said "Yes, we've become quite close recently."
"Meaning that we're dating." Mike confirmed.
"The daughter of Bellona, praetor of Camp Jupiter, hero of Olympus and one of Athena's chosen heroes, dating the lowly son of Venus, head centurion of the now disgraced 1st cohort, because come on, Octavian kind of ruined your reputation, dating. How did that happen?" Percy asked, just giving his old friend a hard time.
Reyna chuckled and said "Honestly, it was kind of by accident. One day, Mike had shown up at my house to apologize for trying to arrest me back in the giant war."
Mike picked up the story from there, "After I apologized, Reyna invited me in for some coffee. We began to spend more and more time together and then a month ago, we finally started dating."
"Congratulations Reyna, you deserve this." Percy said, since he knew that Reyna hadn't had an easy life, especially in love, since both he and Jason had rejected her.
