The ride to Ogygia was a little tense, to say the least.

"You hurt our friends with what you did!" Juniper screamed at Grover. The couple had decided to go to one of the rooms on the ship to talk privately.

"I did it for you!" Grover yelled back. Percy sighed as he rubbed his forehead. Annabeth wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him away from the shouting match.

"You could've told me!"

"I literally was cursed not to! Not without the servant snapping your neck!"

"This is getting worrisome," Will admitted. Nico nodded in agreement. "Think they'll be okay?"

"I think so. It's just a lot to deal with, and Grover seems like he's been dealing with it on his own, so it's an adjustment," Nico replied, holding Will's hand tightly. "I don't really blame him personally."

"How can you say that?" Hazel asked. Nico glanced up to see the other demigods staring at him. So much for a private conversation.

"He was just trying to protect Juniper, and Calypso didn't give him much of a choice," Nico shrugged. "Just don't think it's fair to blame him when she made him do it."

"Like my dad made Calypso act all crazy?" Will joked. Nico rolled his eyes.

"This is very messy," Piper piped up. "I don't know how to feel."

"It's a tough situation," Leo said after a moment. "I know that better than anyone. But…she didn't want to do it. I don't think she did, anyways. It looked like he even took away her memories of me- and of who she was."

No one really talked for a while, and even the shouting from Grover and Juniper died down. Everyone pretended not to hear crying and the demigods all dispersed when the door creaked open.

"Sorry for that everybody," Juniper apologized as Grover and her came out of the room. They didn't exactly look happy, but they didn't look mad at one another. And their clasped hands seemed to indicate some type of reconciliation.

"Didn't hear a thing," Nico assured her, though the disbelief on her face told him he wasn't that convincing.

But before Juniper could argue, Leo let out a whoop of excitement.

"We're here! Home sweet home, thank you for flying on the Argo 2. Please remain seated for the descent."

"Why does he always do that?" Piper groaned at Leo's 'airline' voice. Jason patted her shoulder sympathetically as the group mentally prepared themselves for their encounter with Calypso.

Calypso was very embarrassed. And ashamed. And completely revolted by herself. All that and more once she woke up in her bed, Rachel sitting beside the queen as she waited for her to wake.

The Oracle was reading (was that one of Calypso's spellbooks?) when she noticed the queen had woken up.

"Calypso! I mean, your highness. You're awake," Rachel looked…happy to see her. Which was weird.

"None of that 'highness' stuff," Calypso muttered as she sat up. Her head was pounding as she pressed a hand against her forehead, her face flushed with shame. "Gods what have I done?"

"You were cursed. Do you remember that?" Rachel asked softly, putting her hand over Calypso's. The young Titan nodded her head hesitantly. "Then you remember that Apollo made you act this way. We think he wiped some of your memories, too."

"My memories…" Calypso trailed off as she thought about all those fuzzy memories of someone she couldn't quite recall and she cried out as she remembered his name. Leo Valdez. Her "bad boy supreme" as he liked to call himself. "Leo…"

"He's coming here, I think. So is everyone else, including Nico," Rachel told her. Calypso groaned. "It'll be alright."

"Alright?! I blackmailed Grover, cursed Percy and Nico, and Leo, well," Calypso sighed sadly. "I've gotta step down as queen. Nico deserves to rule more than I do. Then I'll head down to the dungeons."

"Don't be so dramatic," Rachel rolled her eyes before she comforted her friend. Because that's what Calypso had been, before she was cursed. And she wouldn't let her friend live her days in the dungeon. "They know the truth, I know the truth. It was because of Apollo. It wasn't really you."

Calypso wasn't so sure she'd be forgiven so easily, but she took comfort knowing Rachel at least didn't seem to blame her.

One of her invisible servants appeared in the door, pointing at the window. Calypso stood up shakily, leaning heavily on Rachel as they walked towards the window. They both peered outside and saw a familiar sight that made Calypso feel a sharp pang of guilt; the Argo 2. Leo's ship.

"You ready?"

"Nope."

"Too bad, we gotta go," Rachel helped Calypso make her way down the stairs on their way outside and greeted the group of demigods along with Grover and Juniper (she felt a lotta guilt with him too).

It was pretty awkward.

Everyone was looking at Calypso while her eyes were only on Leo, who was actually quiet for once in his life.

Will, surprisingly, was the one to break the silence.

"I just wanna say sorry on behalf of my dad. What he did was awful and I'm sorry that you, and well, everyone has had to deal with the aftermath of your curse," Will announced. Calypso blinked in surprise before she shook her head.

"I should be the one apologizing. I've been awful, to all of you and everyone else who lived here. I remember being so focused on the whole 'fairest' thing, to the point where nothing else mattered. And yeah, I was cursed. But that doesn't change the pain I've brought. I'm so sorry," Calypso bowed towards everyone before she straightened up, looking at Nico. "Nico, the crown is yours if you want it. Or Hazel. Whoever wants it, really. I think I…need a break from all this, and I don't think I deserve to rule at this point."

"I accept," Nico said with no hesitation. He wanted to restore the island to the way it was, let everyone who'd been banished know it was safe to come back if they wanted to. Most importantly, he wanted to fix up the castle and make a home for him and Will (plus his sister, of course). Even if the others returned to Camp Half-Blood, Nico wanted to make this place a sanctuary. And he knew Will wanted the same thing. "You're welcome to stay though."

"Not much choice," Calypso said dryly. "Still cursed to remain here for the rest of my days."

Nico winced; he'd definitely have to look into that.

"Speaking of curses," Annabeth interjected as she tugged Percy towards Calypso. "You think you can take away his?"

"Oh, right. Almost forgot," Calypso stepped forward. She raised her hand towards the son of Poseidon as she began to chant softly.

"Your voice was stolen

Gift of language now returned

Demigod, speak now."

Nothing seemed to happen. Percy opened his mouth, fully prepared to once again not be able to speak a damn word.

"Bet you five drachmas it didn't work."

Annabeth gaped at him, as did pretty much everyone who hadn't heard Percy utter a single word in ages, and Percy felt tears in his eyes.

"I can talk!" Percy exclaimed as he grabbed Annabeth and whirled her around, loving the sound of her laughter.

"Gods, I've missed your voice, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth pressed her head against his, him feeling so relieved.

As they began a whispered conversation, Will glanced over at Calypso.

"Careful, if my dad hears you're doing haikus, he might get jealous again," Will warned. Calypso crossed her arms indignantly.

"He'll be hearing more than just haikus next time I see him," Calypso stated firmly. Her gaze softened when Leo began to walk towards her.

"Leo," Calypso said his name reverently, and his frown faded away. He glanced over towards her garden, a clear indicator that he wanted to talk in private. "Um, I'll be right back. Again, I'm incredibly sorry about everything and whatever you guys need, just let me know and my servants will tend to it. Or, Nico's servants, I guess?"

"Eh, we'll figure that out later," Nico waved her off as he surveyed the castle.

"Guess we got our castle after all," Will nudged him. Nico laughed.

He watched as Calypso and Leo spoke, both looking solemn until Leo cracked a smile. Calypso grinned back at him as they kissed.

"Reunion is going well," Hazel murmured. Nico glanced at her worriedly but she shook her head. "I'm happy for him. Just need some time to get used to her being, well, her again."

"Same here," Piper said in agreement, leaning against Jason. "But we've got time for that."

Indeed they did. It might've taken a while for the group of demigods to forgive Calypso completely, and to regain trust in Grover, but once everyone did, they were all a lot happier. There were some ups and downs for Nico, as ruling a kingdom wasn't as easy as Calypso made it look. Especially since he and Rachel had to figure out how to free Calypso of her other curse.

Turns out, Leo was all she needed, by letting her ride with him on the Argo 2 back to Camp Half-Blood. They decided they'd set up permanent residence there, along with Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Juniper. Piper and Jason chose to stay at Ogygia while Reyna went to explore the Camp Jupiter place her and Will had stopped at on their journey to find Nico.

Hazel spent part of her time on Ogygia with her brother and future brother-in-law (they weren't technically engaged yet as neither of them were even adults, but True Love meant wedding bells were bound to ring eventually.)

Hazel spent the rest of her time at Camp Jupiter along with Reyna, and Frank was quick to follow, though everyone visited both camps and Ogygia quite often.

Things weren't perfect, but they were a lot better than they had been, something each demigod was incredibly thankful for. One day, every one would have the futures they wished for.

Someday, their dreams will all come true.

"...and they lived happily ever after," Will sighed happily as he closed the book, holding hands with Nico. Nico smiled fondly at the blond.

"I guess that wasn't so bad."

"Told you," Will smiled smugly. Nico rolled his eyes, leaning against Will.

"Well, reader, this is it. The end. The 'happily ever after' you were all waiting for," Nico announced. "Nothing left to read."

The fire turned a bright red and an ominous voice could be heard echoing around the room.

"Speak the truth, demigod. There is still the Bloopers and Behind the Scenes chapter."

"I hate when she does that," Nico shuddered. Will laughed.

"That's right, there is a Bloopers/Behind the Scenes chapter of some funny moments. Unfortunately, after that, it will be the end of the series. Might have a one-shot involving Calypso but other than that, it's done," Will said.

"Yeah, she had a few other ones planned but honestly this was a lotta work and we're all tired of playing out these Disney movies. And by we, I mean me," Nico smirked.

Will sighed before glancing at you, the reader.

"It is time to end this chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed reading."

"And I hope we get to take a nap after this," Nico yawned as he wrapped an arm around Will, turning to face you as well.

In unison, the two teens spoke with a sense of finality.

"May you shine as bright as the sun and the stars."

AN: So this is the last chapter/epilogue of the story but I'll also be posting a Behind the Scenes/Bloopers chapter that may or may not contain an explanation of the prophecy in case some of it wasn't clear. And a hint of a follow up story where Calypso actually gets to sing.

I hope you enjoyed this story. I know I left it for a bit but I had renewed inspiration with The Sun and the Stars, with Solangelo as the main characters. Thank you for reading this story and giving it support.

Kitkat Out!
