Leo
"So Sunshine, where we headed?" I asked Calypso as Festus flew off of Ogygia.
"Everywhere," she sighed as her arms around me tightened.
"Well Festus needs some fuel, we could either stop at Camp Half-Blood, or we could make do for some time," I said as I started fiddling with some wire.
"Umm… well I guess we could stop at Camp Half-Blood but, you know Percy and all," she said sadly.
"Actually, Percy asked the gods to set you free after the war with the Titans, but they never got around to freeing you, do to Gaea and all…" I explained.
"Hmm I thought he forgot about me, with Annabeth and all," she replied.
"Well there is more, but it is really up to Percy to say, "I said dryly, "We have a few hours left I suggest we sleep a bit."
"But Leo what happened with Gaea and your quest and all," she questioned
"I'll explain that later but, I think it is time for some shut-eye right now," I yawned, "Festus'll take it from here.""Okay, goodnight Leo Valdez," she replied.
"Goodnight Sunshine," I answered while we drifted off into sleep. And for the first time in a long time I was able to sleep peacefully, no nightmares, no nothing.
When I woke up Festus was flying over the strawberry fields. Calypso was still sound asleep and beautiful as ever. It was early morning and I could see only a few naiads out near the river. I led Festus down next to the forges and woke Calypso up. After she remembered where she was, I led her over to the Big House. Before I could even knock, the door flew open. Nico di Angelo was standing there with Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Percy, and Chiron behind; they all had a worried look on their faces so I knew something was up.
"What's up enchiladas?" I said when they saw me
"Leo I… I thought you were dead, I sensed it," Nico mumbled.
"LEO!" Piper screamed as she pushed through Nico to give me a bear hug, "but how?'
"A magician never tells his secrets," I replied, "wow by your expressions, it looks liked I died or something."
"But you did die," said Jason.
"Even though I'm not a child of Hades," I said sarcastically as I looked at Nico, "I have my ways," I said.
"We are glad you are back Leo, however we need to get your side of the story on the quest," said Chiron.
"Oki doki, but what about Calypso?" I questioned.
"Are you sure the gods won't get mad that she left the island?" said Nico.
"I don't think so, they never followed through Percy's request and all," I said.
Percy looked up at the sound of his name and realized that we were standing there, "Calypso? Is that you?"
"Percy umm hi umm…" she responded.
"I really need to talk to you, but I have to help teach a sparring class with uh… Annabeth, it was great to see you, but I do really need to talk to you," Percy said nervously, "and Valdez, don't do that again, I'm pretty sure you scared Beauty Queen over there half to death!"
He pulled Annabeth away from the crowd and they started walking over to the fighting pavilion. The rest of us ended up back in the Big House as I explained what happened to me, after Gaea sent a huge flame ball at me. After that I went straight to work on the Argo 2. Let me tell you, even though I fire proofed the ship it is still badly burnt and it is completely wrecked, I am in for a long night. Luckily, I have the rest of the Hephaestus cabin, Festus, and Calypso to help.
