Son of Artemis Book 4

Chapter 15: Dumb and Dumber

Percy's POV:

So. Ummmm. Yeah...I blacked out until I landed. And for once dreamed of Absolutely nothing.

Landed where you may ask, though? Well I don't know yet. I landed in the water, which woke me up.

And Holy Hera everything hurts.

I tried to swim to what land I could see, but my body literally just went nope, we are on vacay until the system is repaired.

So I just drifted to shore...and laid there...face down in the sand.

I heard a light gasp, before the movement of feet over sand replaced it.

"Relax hero" I heard someone who oddly sounded like Zoë, but wasn't, say, "I'll take care of you"

...

...

...

I swear whatever god decided to help me get here I have an arrow with your name on it and a six foot deep hole for you to rest in. Please contact me via Iris message so I know where to send it, and your corpse.

And yes I know I'm on Calypso's island. And no I don't hate her or dislike her. She's just my adoptive sister's sister and well this is gonna be hella awkward, I think.

I tried getting up...key word tried, though, Calypso rushed over and put a cool rag on my head. "Shhh. It's ok hero. Rest. No harm shall come to you here"

"I'll be fine just leave me out in the light for a few hours" I mumbled, "and maybe a little Nectar and Ambrosia will help"

I could tell Calypso was rolling her eyes at my resistance to rest. But I had plenty of time to do that when I was in flight. "You need rest" she stated firmly but left.

A few minutes later, she returned, a little stunned to see that I've turned myself over so I'm on my back. Though she sighed and spoon fed me Ambrosia and Nectar.

"Thanks Calypso" I said, as I felt some of my energy return to me and my injuries beginning to heal at a better pace.

She however gasped and dropped her flask, "how...how do you know"

"Well, for one: a strange island I land near, when I should be dead. Two, a girl with a voice that reminds me of my significant annoyance, I call sister. Three, the whole hero thing...despite not knowing me. And finally the ambrosia and nectar" I answered

"You're...you're a son of Atlas" she stuttered

I began laughing like a maniac, and well I think she thinks I lost it. "Oh Hera no. He's not my sperm donor. Though I am the adopted brother of one of your sisters. The one that no longer lives there" I said after calming down from the few minutes of laughter I had.

"Zoë" Calypso questioned

"Bingo" I answered

"So you won't stay or fall for me" Calypso said, sounding a little depressed. But still leaned back over to me to give me another spoon full of nectar.

"No" I answered, "I won't"

She seemed a little upset about it though. And I don't blame her. I mean the curse she lives with isn't a nice one, and definitely not just for the 'crime' she 'committed'.

"Then why are you here"

"I don't know why sis"

"Sis" she questioned

"Well you're Zoë's sister and Zoë is my sister. Thus you are my sister as well" I explained, "well unless you're like the rest of the family who disowned her, then I am wrong"
