Another Hero

Chapter 3

After some days I got better, and finally I felt more powerful than through all the past years.
The first days I tried hard to get away from Ogygia.
I swam, but after some hours I always just ended up arriving at the island again.
I built a boat, but just the same happened; hours of swimming, or paddling, through the ocean, just to arrive on Ogygia again in the evening.
I prayed to every god I know, I screamed at the sky, I insulted the gods, I burned food for them, I did everything that came to my mind, and in the evenings I was tired and incredibly thankful for the amazing food Calypso gave me.
But after some days I stopped trying to get away so hard.
Not that I gave up, no, I never give up, and I still want home, but I started to do other things too.
Calypso told me about all the plants in her garden, what's kinda boring, but still more interesting than I thought.
And I gave her fighting lessons.
She said she would have been really good once, but stopped practicing after she got here, and even I couldn't believe what she said, apparently this was the truth, after some days training she was better than a lot's of people at camp Jupiter, who trained for years.
It's pretty fun.
I'm having pretty much fun with her anyways.
I hadn't expected this. That I would have fun here.
But Calypso is cool, she isn't as boring as I thought when I got here.
I actually really like her.
But of course I still want back. I miss my friends. I miss everything.
My people need me.
And I still try to get home, I think about a way to get away from here every day.
If Calypso and I would work together, we could probably attack a god, if one should come over and make him let us go.
Not a very glorious idea, but I got no better plan.
Sadly, no one is showing of anyway.
