Good work people! 4000+ views!
I've somehow found the time to update despite my busy schedule. I'm in the middle of class right now! *blush blush*
Please also read my friend's fanfic: The Misadventures of a Bald Emo.
I do not own PJO because Rick Riordan is not sitting in Textiles right now.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Llamas R Us
Calypso was ready for Test Run 2.0. She had tinkered with the magnets in the compass and found that it was more stable.
Now all Calypso had to count on, was the magical defences.
She took a deep breath and prayed. If relying on those power hungry immortals was what it took to get out of Ogygia, Calypso would take that chance.
Leo sat on his bed wondering about what Calypso was doing at the time. Despite the fact that the communication device was only inches in front of him, he resisted the urge to turn it on.
He felt like he was back in kindergarten. The teacher was telling his not to touch the big, red button. Yes, it was the same kindergarten that Leo got kicked out of for playing with fire and unintentionally burning five classrooms, a library and a hall.
'Good times,' Leo thought suavely.
Leo pulled his metal scraps out of his back pocket. It had been ages since he had even thought about them despite his uncontrollable ADHD.
Leo slightly bent one of the pieces of metal to make it fit perfectly with the other. A screw or two or fifteen later, Leo tried to fly the plane. It managed to fly around five feet before dropping to the ground dead.
Leo frowned and bit his upper lip. He scrutinised the contraption. Everything fit into each other and there were no screws missing which should've guaranteed the propeller to work.
He then spun the tri-blade propeller with his finger slowly and found that it would occasionally get caught on the edge of the bronze. He bent over the corner to straighten it out and Leo then tried to fly the plane again.
Even though the plane worked, Leo wasn't quite satisfied because it caused such a commotion. He started wondering about how to reduce the volume level and he treaded over the line into Leo-world.
Nico took that opportunity to waltz in (no, he didn't really waltz) stealthily.
Leo stared. Nico really wasn't the type to randomly walk into someone else's room without a clear objective so he had to be here for a reason.
Leo's jaw hit the ground as if he just saw Hades dropping by in his boxers.
Nico took one glance at Leo's expression and quickly said, "Nope. Forgot what I was going to say. Bye!"
Nico was gone in a blink of the eye and reappeared in the same manner, "Forget that I was ever here," before disappearing again.
Leo continually turned his head back and forth from the doorway to the television. 'Strange kid,' he thought.
Calypso ran her fingers through her hair. She had let it down because she used the hair-tie to bind two planks of wood together. The raft was coming along nicely although some of the bindings were coming loose.
She looked at her only chance of escape from isolation (the raft) and blinked. Now all Calypso had to do was keep on sailing out until the magical defences wore down or failed.
Being a goddess trying to break out of house arrest sure was boring.
She couldn't wait to break free and started wondering about what life was like outside. Calypso tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and thought about the life that Percy had described. Cars, tall apartments, no stars and worst of all: NO GARDENS!
'If I really do manage to escape from Ogygia, I'll have to grow a garden. I have to,' Calypso thought determinedly. Living in the outside world would be… different compared to the island. What would she wear? Where would she live? How would she get by? Questions circled around in her mind before Calypso vigorously shook them out. She sat on the raft, picked up the paddle and then started rowing.
Ages and ages and ages later…
Calypso saw the exact same rock cropping that she saw last time.
She sighed and began rowing out to sea again.
"One more time," Calypso said out loud. "Third time's the charm, right?"
Ages and ages and ages later… Again…
Calypso caught sight of land once again, but there wasn't a rock cropping that looked like a three-legged unicorn in sight.
'I guess three times really is the charm,' Calypso thought to herself.
She stopped rowing and waited for the current to pull her in.
And when she washed up on shore she noticed a mountain that didn't seem to be there before because it was obscured by mist. As in mist, not Mist mist. Greek mythology sure was confusing.
Calypso turned her head up to look at the mountain before a furry animal fell out of the sky. Was that a llama?
I'll try my best to update tomorrow but I've got school so don't count on it.
Pick your randomest/favourite word and post it via reviews.
I will choose the TOP 3 and use them in CHAPTER 20. The winners will be announced in Chapter 19 so I won't be updating until I get at least 5 entries.
Additionally, 1st Place gets to read Chapter 20 before anybody else does.
Same deal as last time.
BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
Please also review to tell me how you feel about my writing!
