LEO
It took them a couple of days to finally reach Half-Blood Hill. When Leo noticed Thalia's pine tree, standing there as if waiting patiently for him, he let out a joyous whoop.
Along the way, Leo had recounted the past events to Calypso, who listened intently to his words. He described the journey after he left Ogygia with the promise to return, and how he traveled to Delos and learned about the physician's cure from Apollo, then how he went to Asclepius and retrieved the physician's cure. After confronting Gaea and fighting her with Jason and Piper, he had them leave and together, he and Gaea enjoyed the explosion to themselves, and one other thing that had come screaming towards them like a comet.
Calypso had said, "That's my hero."
Leo had melted inside by her words.
And now, here they were, approaching Camp Half-Blood. Leo noticed several black SUVs leaving the place. Was he going to be missed?
Just then, there were cries of surprise below as Greek and Roman demigods looked up and pointed at him and Calypso on Festus's back. Yes, be shocked, my fellow friends! Leo thought as he directed Festus towards the ground.
