Sorry this took so long to update! Combination of Christmas and putting the finishing touches on my first novel have kept me busy, but I am back and there will be more updates coming soon!

Leo gave Calypso a quick tour of the camp and then went to the mess hall for some lunch. While they walked Leo could feel the eyes of the few campers in the camp watching them from the windows of their cabins. Leo wasn't sure if that was because of him or from the massive metal dragon that was following them.

Calypso seemed to like the camp. Leo noticed that she particularly liked the lake and the strawberry bushes.

When they were done with the tour they went to the mess hall to get something to eat. The sun was about the middle of the sky.

Leo let Calypso go ahead and looked up at the sky as if to see if he could see anyone. He half expected Jason to come flying in through the clouds.

"VALDEZ!" A voice screamed behind him and before Leo could react a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist and tightened around him. He got lifted off the ground and then proceeded to be slammed on the ground.

"Get up, Cupcake!" Coach Hedge screamed and pulled Leo to his feet.

He was wearing a camp T-shirt on and a baseball cap on his head. He had a massive grin on his face that Leo rarely saw except for when he was watching a particularly violent MMA fight.

"Good to see you too Coach," Leo said as he shook out his shoulder.

"So you survived, eh? I always knew you were a fighter!"

"You did?"

"Of course! I did teach you everything you know after all!"

Leo started to laugh and Coach glared at him a moment before laughing as well. "It's good to have you back, Valdez."

"Good to be back, Coach," Leo responded and turned to Calypso. "Coach this is Calypso. Calypso this is Coach Hedge."

"Nice to meet you," Calypso responded and coach took her hand and kissed it.

"As long as we are making introductions I have someone that I want you to meet!" he stated excitedly. "Come over here!"

He pushed past them and led the way past a couple of tables where a small group was sitting and eating. Leo immediately recognized all of them. There was Mellie, Hedge's wife, and Clarisse was sitting right next to her. Leo also recognized and was surprised to see Nico Di Angelo, in his usual dark clothing, sitting across from Mellie and Clarisse. Next to him was a boy with blond hair. Leo recognized him, but couldn't quite remember his name. Maybe Will or something.

"Leo!" Nico exclaimed in surprise when he saw them approaching with Hedge. "Y-You're alive!"

"Last I checked," Leo said with a smile. "Nice to see you survived the journey to camp with Reyna."

"But what happened to you? We thought that you were dead…neither Hazel nor I could feel your presence."

"I was out of it for a while, but I came back."

"Wow," Nico replied.

"Valdez I want to introduce you to my son!" Coach announced. He went over to Mellie and Leo noticed that she was holding a little Satyr in her arms.

She handed him to Hedge and he turned around. "Valdez this is my son, Chuck!"
