I hope you guys enjoy this story with me!

Chapter 2

Leo's POV

My eyes opened and I immediately started planning everything that I needed to prepare in order to leave as soon as possible. I would need a few pairs of clothes, no one knew how long it would take to sail to Ogygia without magic taking you there, food and water because once again, no one knew how long it could take, I would need my tool belt, a celestial bronze weapon of some sort for protection, oil and Tobasco for Festus, a map, and of course, the astrolabe.

I stood up and got out of bed. I quickly threw on a new shirt and my tool belt and started walking toward Bunker Nine. I saw a few early-risers around the camp, most looked really tired still, but I wasn't. I had things to do that were too important for me to be tired.

Once I got to the Bunker, I got the astrolabe out of my hiding spot in one of the workbenches and checked it over to make sure it was still in perfect condition. Everything looked good, so I put it into my tool belt for safe keeping.

I looked over to the Argo II for a few seconds, then left the Bunker to get the provisions I needed for the journey. I went to the kitchen first and took some rations of food that I could put in a bag over my shoulder, and filled a two five gallon buckets that could have lids with water and made my way back the Bunker with them. I made two more trips to the kitchen for water (I didn't know how much I would need to survive) then I went to my cabin to get some clothes.

I had a backpack on to put things in that were too big for the tool belt, and I quickly put five shirts in the bag and two extra pairs of jeans.

Next, I went to the "tool" shed where I could get a weapon that would work better than a hammer. I searched for a while and eventually found a short sword that seemed the best. I still couldn't help but feel like I wouldn't be able to use it well, but I needed a blade of some sort, so this would have to do. I quickly got a sheathe for it and attached it to my belt.

The last thing I needed for this was in the Big House. I went in to find some rations of ambrosia and nectar laid out on the table waiting for me. Chiron knew about me leaving for Ogygia, and I'd already had to discuss/argue with him about it, but when he found out that I'd sworn on the Styx to go back, he gave in and agreed to let me go.

I took the rations and started making my way back towards the Bunker. I knew all my friends would be there to see me off, even if they weren't all ok with me leaving. This had never been done by anyone before, and they didn't think it would work, but I had to try. I'd promised.

When I finally got there, I saw everyone waiting outside the Bunker for me. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Hazel, Piper, and Frank were all waiting for me outside the Bunker. I walked past each of them and they each told me something or asked.

When I walked past Percy, he said "Let us know when you're coming back ok? I left Calypso there years ago, and the least I could do is meet you guys here when you come back."

I nodded while talking, "Yeah, I'll send you guys an Iris message or something to let you know when we're coming back from the island."

He smiled back, "Thank you. And by the way, if you want something for her or yourself to remind you of your time there, there's a flower you can bring back with you. It's called Moonlace. Calypso gave it to me when I left her island, and it glows during the night with the light of the moon."

"Alright, I'll remember the plant." I said, attempting to be a bit joking with him.

I finished saying my goodbyes, each with a small attempt at humor, but to be truthful, I was terrified. I had no idea if the astrolabe would even work, and if it did, whether or not some monster would try to keep me from the island. No man had ever returned, and I didn't know if I would be able to.

I walked into the Bunker and opened the large door. Everyone waited and watched as I boarded the Argo II. I went to my command console and said into the microphone, "Are you ready for the trip Festus? It's a long one, but it's very important that we make it."

I heard the usual creaks and groans come back from Festus and decided that I was ready. Everything was loaded into the ship that I would need, I had clothes, food, water, and ambrosia and nectar. I spoke into the microphone again, "Alright. Let's go."

I manipulated the controls with ease. I had, after all, flown the ship all the way to Europe and built this console with my own hands.

The ship lifted into the air and out the doors of the Bunker. I looked behind me to see everyone waving and the doors shutting behind me. I waved back to them and told myself that I would see them all again, and when I did, I wouldn't be alone.

I picked up the astrolabe and attempted to read it, but there was nothing showing. No data, arrows, numbers, letters… Absolutely nothing showing. I walked to the front of the ship with it, trying to figure it out. I held it up to the light, looked the whole thing over, and even tried tapping the markings on it. Nothing happened. I went back to the command console and looked forward, towards the horizon. I got the odd impression that I should direct the ship about 45 degrees south of what I was currently going. I wasn't sure why, but it felt right. The astrolabe showed nothing, so I changed the direction of the ship, set the course and headed down to my cabin.

I told Festus to tell me if anything happened or if I was needed for repairs or changes in course. I set the astrolabe down on a nightstand in my room and laid down on the bed. It wasn't late, but I'd been sleep deprived all week and I was tired from working on everything. Besides, I didn't have any rush anymore. I was finally heading back to rescue Calypso from Ogygia.

I closed my eyes and remembered her face the last time I saw her before I'd had to leave the island. I smiled at the memory, then faded into sleep.

How was this one guys? I'm sorry about the boring first couple chapters, but I'm hoping I'll be able to do better when I get to the best part of the story, which will come pretty soon. Please review and let me know what you think of this story, and I hope to see all of you in the next one!
