Hey everyone!

I HAVE SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT TO SAY!
I'm announcing the release of a new story which will have a first chapter put up by the 18th of August (partially because I'm suffering from a major case of Writer's Block and partially because it's PERCY'S BIRTHDAY!). It's going to be called The Vow of Eternal Maidenhood and as you can see from the title, it's about the life of Artemis and why she dedicated her life to The Hunt.
You'll see the rest later! :)

Thanks for reading this!

The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Twin Hearts Beat as One

Calypso sat down on the wooden chair and straightened her dress. She didn't understand why a cruise ship filled with centaurs would have in their possession an ordinary chair.

She had negotiated with the captain of the South Kingston Division. The Party Ponies ship would wash up on Miami, because for some reason, everything strange turns up in Miami. When she got to Miami, the Party Ponies would provide her with enough mortal cash to get her a plane to Long Island Sound (as long as that was okay with Zeus) and a cab from there to the strawberry fields of Camp Half-Blood.

Although Calypso no longer had immortality or godly powers, she could still command the respect of a ship of centaurs. It was really nice for them to help out.

The trip to Miami from South Kingston on a magical boat that teleports (but only when the boat feels like it) would take a couple of hours at most. Calypso looked around at the centaurs happily jumping off the ship, paintballing each other and struggling to fit entire hooves in their mouths.

Calypso knew that the next couple of hours would be the longest couple of hours that she would ever live.

Leo unravelled the long trail of bandages from his hand. After a few days of rest and nibbles of ambrosia, the hand felt much better from getting jarred in the gears of the engine room. It was unbelievable that a wound that pathetic would take so long to heal.
Personally, Leo was very ashamed of himself and his incredibly slow healing abilities.

He had considered turning the TV back on because the rest of the crew had deemed him worthy of doing so. They decided that he was committed enough to the Argo II to be trusted with his "girlfriend" but Leo wasn't sure if Calypso really wanted to see him again. After all, he did leave without a word, supposedly ignore her for days and even get slightly drunk!

'She'd be ferocious!' Leo thought. 'Not to mention the fact that she'd probably hate me…' he added.

"Like that's gonna stop me," he called out to no one in particular, "COME AT ME BRO!" he yelled.
It did not seem that Leo had taken his ADHD medication that morning…

Leo walked in the general direction of his captain's room and scrutinised his cuticles. It was horrible what working in the forge did to one's cuticles… Maybe he needed to go to the spa… In fact, Leo was so desperate to get his nails done, that he was even willing to go to Circe's.

'I must be really desperate,' he thought, 'And cuticle-ly challenged…'

He arrived at the door of his awesome room and sat on his bed, a foot away from the TV. He reached over to press the power button only to find a message on the screen. It was in Greek so it only took a short while for the letters to float around and start making sense.

Hey Leo,

Seeing as this is you we're talking about, it has most likely taken you forever to find this. You sure are an idiot. Ignore me like that once again and I will murder you (that is after punching you, of course…). I have no idea where you are and by the time you read this, I will either be making my way off Ogygia or busy making beef stew. I'll see you in a while… I think.

Calypso

P.S. – Percy the cat says hi.

"Huh…" Leo said. "Huh…"

He wasn't sure if he wanted to cry or to cry even harder. On one hand, Leo was glad that she was making her own way out of her prison, while on the other he was slightly devastated that she didn't in the very least confide in him. For heaven's sake, he was her boyfriend! She should've said something to him!
'But then again, I did kinda cut off all communication with her, so…' he thought. 'Good point…'

When all things were put into perspective, it really was all Leo fault. He felt a stab of guilt in his stomach.
'That's weird,' he thought. 'I thought the pain would more likely be in my heart…'

He raised his hand and felt his body. From the left part of his chest he felt a quiet and steady heartbeat. Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump. He moved his hand a bit lower to the bottom of his ribcage where his heartbeat was even stronger. When he put it on his stomach, it was even stronger.
'Was this always the case for a demigod?' he thought. 'Did demigods have their heart inside their stomach? Oh… or maybe demigods have two hearts?'

Leo continued with his strange fantasy. 'What if demigods can only be killed with a stab to both their chest and their stomach? Did that mean that demigods were practically invincible if only their first heart was stabbed?'

His mind wandered back to Calypso. He wished her luck in getting off Ogygia and wished that he could be there with her. Every step of the way…

'Where are you Calypso?'

Calypso looked out to the horizon. The air around the ship was wavering and warping. Colours started swirling around and the edges were all merging.

"It's finally happening…" she said. "I'm going to see Leo again."

Did you like it? Sorry I haven't updated much lately. The only reason I could write today was because my mum took me out of school (because I had a fever). So here's the usual: review, fave and follow! :)

BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
