~~PAY ATTENTION IF YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CHAPTER~~
Hey everyone! I don't know if you've noticed, but every 10 chapters I have a contest. The last two contests were 'Randomest Word', and this time I'm going to do something different. I'll wait a while before updating (maybe a week) and you guys can send in random/not-so-random questions to answer and I swear on the River Styx that I'll answer you guys honestly. It's not really a contest but I'll just answer any question. Just no personal details like address, phone number, full name or passwords, okay? So what are you waiting for? I'll post the answers to every question in Chapter 30. Sorry… I wrote this again because I don't think many of you saw this last time.
From Calypso223: Who is the boy?
From wisegirl416: Who is that boy?!
From MiniSatyr101: Do you like bacon?
From catrawesome: What is your favourite colour and why? Who is your favourite of the seven? (Not counting Nico, Reyna, etc.)
From Avidya Karma: WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END
Well, all with be revealed (in the next chapter)! Although… If you read this chapter, you'll get the answer to your questions because I'm revealing his identity now.
=_= That means that I no longer have any legitimate entries… :'( Please enter because writing fanfics for you guys seriously means a lot to me!
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: The Slayer of Titans
"Is there something wrong with you?!" Calypso screamed at him.
The man chuckled at the goddess' ignorance.
"Calypso? I can't believe that you haven't recognised me yet… I'm hurt!" he joked.
"Do I know you?" Calypso asked, wrinkling up her eyebrows and looking through her past memories. Was he one of her many siblings? Was he some random stalker?
"It's me! Ignus!" he said with a grin. (Please don't Google it, I just made it up. PS- Ignus means fire in Latin)
Calypso blinked and blinked again.
"Ignus? As in THE Ignus who landed on Ogygia two thousand years ago? Shouldn't you be dead by now?" she asked confused. Like every other man who had been sent to her island, Calypso had fallen in love with him and they had a very, very short affair lasting for a couple of weeks.
"Yeah… But Zeus made me immortal when I slayed Tethys and Atlas. Isn't that great?! And then there were all these rumours about you escaping Ogygia so I came to look for you," he yelled excitedly.
"You killed my parents?" Calypso asked in a low but dangerous tone. Sure, they weren't exactly the best parents in the world… But they were still her biological mother and father!
"Yeah… Yeah… Whatever," he continued. "So I went to Jamaica because I felt your presence there and I saw you on this weird boat. I was going to teleport there but then the ship disappeared… Then I found you again in Miami but you got on this plane and I didn't want Zeus to kill me so I waited for you to arrive in New York. After that, I just checked into the same hotel as you did and here we are now!"
"Are you telling me that you killed my parents?" she repeated.
"Yeah… Whatever… It's okay, they're regenerate in a few decades, maybe?" he assumed carelessly again. "So… The reason why I followed you all the way here from the Land of Llamas is because I wanted to ask you something," he proclaimed cockily.
Calypso clearly didn't listen to anything he said because the next thing she said was,
"You got me at Jamaica."
Ignus frowned.
"But that was at the beginning of my explanation!" he complained. "Anyway," he continued, "I've been thinking… We should get back together!" he suggested enthusiastically.
"What… in… the… Tartarus…"she muttered. "Are you fu-fu-furgh" She stopped in her tracks because TheGoddessOfDuckTape has rated this fanfic K+. "You're proposal… Um… It's very um… interesting and uh…. Original… but I… Er… Already have a boyfriend!" stuttering the first parts and exclaiming the last part. Sometimes, she was just so glad that she was 'dating' Leo so that she always had an excuse ready in case anyone else wanted to go out with her.
Ignus looked surprised as if immortals didn't already have prior knowledge of all the different demigod ships.
"But… You said you loved me! You swore that you would love me as long as we were together forever!" he said using her promises from the past as proof.
"That's not going to work for two very obvious reasons. Firstly, I said the same thing to Odysseus, Perseus and Hercules. You kind of ruined the whole promise thing when you left me on Ogygia and refused to stay with me. And secondly, I'm not immortal anymore so technically, that 'together-forever' thing really isn't going to work," she countered. Personally, Calypso was very proud of herself for thinking of two such strong arguments against a guy she used to have feelings for.
"Look, I'm sorry Ignus. Let's just stay… friends," she said, "I'm still not forgiving you for killing my parents though…" Calypso turned around and left.
If Calypso didn't check out of The Atlas Hotel by 12:30 PM, the receptionists would charge her for the price of two days instead of one. A night at the hotel cost $230 but Calypso had to go to a pawn shop to exchange one drachma for a night's hotel fee. Of course she knew that one solid golden drachma was worth way more than $230 but Calypso was feeling charitable.
She handed over the cash and her room key. Calypso skipped out of the hotel lobby to look for a cab. She stood on the edge of the curb to hail down a yellow car. It wasn't long before one stopped right in front of her.
Calypso gingerly opened the door and called to the driver inside,
"Farm Road, Long Island please!"
The man looked at the girl from head to toe. 'She doesn't seem to be the type of person to have that much money though…' he thought.
"That's going to cost $50 at the very least! I want to see that money upfront!" he exclaimed.
Calypso reluctantly slid her backpack off her left shoulder and unzipped it. She felt around its inside for it before pulling out the bundle that she had been given from Steve. Calypso brandished the notes in the taxi driver's face. "Is that enough?" she asked hopefully.
The man took the notes and counted them, twice. And checked that they were all American, thrice. He nodded vigorously.
Calypso opened the door to the backseat of the cab and hopped in.
"I'll let you keep the change if you're fast," she told him.
So… There goes another chapter! Look out for my answers to the Q&A in Chapter 30 (a.k.a. the next chapter)!
Gee… Hope no one noticed that last chapter's ending was, "BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S LEO!" Don't worry, I will change it!
Please review/fave/follow!
BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
