The Final Quest ψ; Blood of Olympus & Percy Jackson Fanfic༄

ΙΙ. CΑLΥPSO

Calypso:

"Leo?" I asked, gazing up at him.

I must be dead. But that makes no sense. I should be in the Feilds of Punishment. I sided with Gaia in the first war, fought for my father.

Maybe I was in Ashopel? For not fighting with her this time? Did it cancel out?

But no. Leo would be in Elysium, no doubt. He was a hero.

Whatever and wherever this was, I would enjoy my last moments with Leo.

I knew he had tried to come back, and that his coming back was probably why he was dead. That killed me, that he had died for me.

I saw worried faces of whom I presumed to be his friends above me. Had they died too?

Of course they had.

Because of me.

I then looked beyond the , at the endless ocean. This didnt look like Ashopel, or anywhere else in the Underworld. It looked like...

My Island.

I sat up suddenly, or tried to, but Leo's arms held me back.

"Am- Am I dead?" I asked, scared, but beggining to hope.

"No, Calypso. Its all okay. We're here now, and I will never let you go again."

Tears streamed down my face. Leo had made it. Somehow, he had come back to me, and I was alive because of it. I burrowed into his chest, shocked to see that he was now taller than me. Stronger too, probably, now that I had gone days being subjected to Gaea's poison. Speaking of which..

"Leo, this island, its poisoned. We need to get off it fast, or you guys will become sick too. Everything here is dying, including me, but Astrea..." I trailed off.

"Who?" Leo asked, a concerned expression on his face.

"Oh, um, my pegasus. A gift from Aphrodite after I was... depressed .. When you left."

Leo's expression killed me. I knew he blamed himself for my sickness, and he knew another day here and I would be dead. More than finding me almost too late, I could tell he blamed himself for leaving in the first place. It made we want to cry.

"But you found me, Leo" I said, wanting the grin I loved to be back on his face.

I tried to stand up, but promtly collapsed on my weak, sick, and wobbly legs.

I felt myself being scooped up, and burrowed myself into Leo's chest. We boarded the ship, and I could hear the reassuring sound of Astrea's hoofbeats behind me.

Still carried in Leo's arm's, he gave me tour of the ship, although I was too overcome to pay attention to any of it. He took me below deck, and showed me the main hall, the kitchen, then my room, where he lightly placed me on my bed and sat down with me.

Night was coming, and we both began to feel tired. "Leo," I began, but he quieted me. "It can wait untill morning" He said drowsily. "Everything will be better in the morning."

There was no more talking, just embracing each other for the first time in months, knowing we would never be seperated again.

There I laid in his arms until we both fell asleep.

"You came back for me." I whispered into his ear as sleep overtook us.

"Of course I did." He replied.
