Hi everyone!
Please enjoy this chapter and have fun reading it!
I absolutely do not own PJO or HoO because Tyson said so. Right, Tyson?
Tyson: Peanut Butter
Me: Close enough!
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Seeking from Happy the Dragon
After his talk with Jason, Leo didn't feel any better than he did before. If anything, it just made him even more confused. His head felt as if it could explode from all of the combat inside his mind.
It wasn't like he could take his chances by ditching the quest and letting Gaia take over the world. Right now, all he could possibly do was try and get the navigational device to work. But he couldn't help dreaming about his future if he ever found his way back to Ogygia.
Leo thought about his own childhood. It was really lonely without anyone his own age around the neighbourhood. The disadvantages of being an only child. Maybe if he ever found Calypso, they could have two kids together so that no one would get bored. Was it legal for demigods and immortals to "get-together" anyway?
The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his got. Soon it was basically a full blown-out war. Phrases and sentences floated around his head.
'No man ever finds Ogygia twice.'
'You're really warming up to me.'
'You can't come back.'
'That's the rule.'
'Don't give me any empty promises.'
What was he supposed to do now? He had clearly said, 'I'm coming back for you. I swear it on the River Styx.' Of course, if he couldn't find his way back to Ogygia, what would happen to him?
When Zeus broke the oath, Thalia turned into a tree. Leo hoped that he'd have better luck. But with his luck, he probably just jinxed himself and would end up as something useless like a patch of pansies. It was a sad life.
Calypso was definitely someone who deserved freedom after thousands of years in captivity but was she honestly worth the destruction of the world? It was basically choosing between 'the girl of your dreams with a side of the end of the world' or 'heroically saving the world but giving up on his destined soul mate.'
Tough decision.
Leo lugged himself out of bed and shuffled him way to the Dining Hall just in time for lunch. He demanded the enchanted dish and glass for lemonade and stew. His usual lunch was pancakes and ginger beer but he figured that it would be a tribute to Calypso. He was scared that if he didn't think about her often, he would eventually forget all about her.
He slowly raised his right hand and sipped the stew. It really couldn't compare to Calypso's but it was kind of motivation because there was a voice inside his head saying, 'Go get Calypso or you'll never taste good homemade stew ever again!' The strange thing was, it worked.
After that not-very-satisfactory meal Leo shuffled back to his cabin. On the way there, he heard voices. One feminine and one masculine.
"I'm telling you he's met someone and now he's heartsick," the feminine voice whispered. Leo quickly pressed himself to the wall and poked his head to check out what was on the other side of that corner. He saw Hazel and Frank exchange a very quiet conversation. Alarmed, he pulled his head back and just listened in.
"How can you tell?" Frank asked in a failed attempt at whispering.
"I'm a thirteen year old girl, I just know these things."
Leo shrunk down. Was it really that obvious? He thought about it and then changed direction. When in need, talk to a machine.
Leo was now below decks and looking for a bronze dragonhead. It wasn't very difficult. Giant head, enclosed space. You just think about it.
Leo put his hand on Festus.
Creak.
"You wouldn't happen to be awesome at giving girl advice would you, big guy?" Leo asked desperately.
Creak.
Leo must've been really desperate if he had to resort to a metal dragon.
He gave up and left.
If machinery couldn't help in the department of love, maybe love's daughter could.
Thanks for reading, people! :D
