Calypso woke up the next day. She stretched and rubbed her eyes. Her dreams had been filled with her and Leo. She just couldn't forget him. But she got up and went to go check on her garden, only to stop, with shock, in the entrance of her cave.
There, on the floor, was a piece of paper.
Eyes wide, she bent down and picked it up. There was writing on it, and for a moment Calypso was scared to read it. She hadn't received a letter in ages. But curiosity got the best of her.
As she read the short paragraphs, her eyes started to tear up. It was a note from Leo.
She couldn't believe it. How was this possible? It had to be another cruel joke from the gods. But then she remembered that Leo's father was Hephaestus. He was kind to her, so why would he do something so mean?
He wouldn't.
Leo really must have wrote this. Calypso could imagine the crafty god taking the letter from his son and leaving it for her to find. She smiled and looked up at the bright, blue sky.
"Thank you."
Quickly forgetting about her garden, Calypso rushed back to her cave found some paper and dye that she had made.
A mixture of thoughts rushed through her head. She and Leo could possibly communicate now. She just had to make sure that it was really coming from him, and not some cruel and disrespectful god.
So Calypso picked up a quill and started to write, putting her feelings into words.
Once the letter was done she rolled it up an tied it with a ribbon. Then she walked down to the beach. So many emotions filled her. Nervousness, excitement, fear, longing, they all jumbled together.
Now she just had to get the letter to Leo in one piece.
"I wish for this letter to leave Ogygia."
Calypso held it up in her palms. Nothing happened. She sighed. Great, this will be harder that I thought.
She tried multiple different ways to send the letter, but none of them worked. Good thing she was determined.
Then she realized what she had to do.
Gods, how could I be so stupid?
"Oh great lord Hephaestus, you have always been kind to me and I ask you this small favor; Please help guide this letter to your son, Leo Valdez, so that he may read it."
She said a few more words to the god as she held the letter high. Suddenly, the winds lifted it up into the air and it flew away.
Calypso watched, her smile wide, hoping that it would find Leo. But only time would tell.
A/N What exactly did Calypso say in her letter? Will it reach Leo? Or possibly end up halfway across the Atlantic? Find out in the next chapter...
