Another Hero

Chapter 1

I open my eyes.
I have sand all over my face, the sun is shining bright, I think I can hear the ocean near me.
I still have my sword in my hand, but I can't move.
Over me, nearly covering the complete sun is a girl that looks at me shocked, with surprised, widen eyes.
'Who?- What?' she still looks at me like she'd never seen something like me before 'Holy Hepheastus!' She looks at the bright, blue sky now 'What's THAT??? What am I supposed to do with her? Hello?! Anyone? Fine.'
She looks at me again.
'You aren't supposed to do anything with me. I'm Reyna, preator of new rome, I can care about myself!' what does this girl think who she is?
'Where are the monsters? And Annabeth, Jason and Percy and the other ones?' I try to stand up.
'You don't understand, you- wait did you say- Percy?'
'Yeah, Percy Jackson. Do you know him?'
'I met him once yes.' suddenly she looks really sad. I really want to make her feel better, I know her situation just too well.
Obviously, she and Percy had a thing. But since she's looking sad and Percy is with Annabeth, it's not very hard to tell what happened.
'So, you were in a fight? With other people?' she asks now.
'Yes, how I said. Where are they?'
'Not here. This must have been a mistake, they probably ment to send me one of the heroes you have been with... come, I'll take you inside, you must be injured.'
'Sorry...did you just say I'm not a hero, because I'm a girl?'
Gods, this girl is so annoying!
'That's not what I meant, you don't understand. It has to be a mistake. You need to rest now, I'm going to fix this!'
She helps me with getting up, since my whole body still hurts and I can't move alone.
The girl is leading me to kind of a house, I would probably protest, but I see black dots in front of my eyes, so I'm quite thankful.
Finally she's sitting me down on a bed, and I can allow the black dots to get one, big darkness I fall into.

When I wake up it takes me a moment to remember where I am. Right, fight, monsters, explosion, this strange girl.
I stand up. My body still hurts, but it's okay.
Someone did something with my burned arm, it doesn't look that bad anymore.
I look around me.
I'm in a house, or hut or whatever, it's basically one big room.
It looks kinda nice, even it's not my style.
Outside is a giant garden, with trees, flowers and other stuff, it looks like it would have taken centuries to build it.
This seems to be an island, some meters from me I can see the beach and the sea.
There's also the girl, she seems to argue with someone, so I walk up to her, until I can hear her angry voice.
'-no mistake?! This have to be one?! She's a girl? She's stuck here forever if you don't let her get away!'
The man she's talking to- wait, I think that's a god. He looks powerful, is nearly glowing.
Why does she talk like this with a god?
And what did she mean with stuck forever?
If I have to I would swim away from here!
Whatever, the god she's talking to shakes his head.
'No mistake.'
The girl looks like she would start yelling again, but I decide that it's time for me to get some answers.
'Excuse me, but who are you? Where am I? Where are my friends? How can I get back?'
The girl looks at me angrily
'I'm Calypso, this is Ogygia, your friends are wherever you saw them last time, or maybe somewhere else. And you're not getting back.' she's giving the god a death glare.
'Of course I'm getting back! My friends need me! New Rome needs me!'
'Yes, you're always needed. But the gods don't care.' Calypso doesn't sound that angry now anymore. Just really desperate.
'You know, that's not how it works. I have to go now.' the god disappears.
'Who was this?'
'Hepheastus'
'So, he's greek?'
'Yes, what did you thought? And what did you just say about New Rome? Is this something like New York?'
'No, absolutely not. It's...my home. Doesn't matter. Who exactly are you?' I'm sure I have already heard the name Calypso, but I can't remember any details.
'It's a long story. I'm sure you got a lot of questions. And you have to be hungry too. Wanna get inside?' Calypso offers. She's right, I'm really hungry. And tired. And I have a million questions.
'Sure.'
