"No, no, n-o, zip, zero, nada." Leo said.
"Leo please, your daughter isn't even here so you don't need to be worried about embarrassing her." Chiron pleaded. "Only you know how to build the Archimedes spheres!"
"What happened to the ones I built?" Leo asked fiddling with the original.
"There was an...accident. No one was hurt luckily but they were all destroyed."
"Great. Why can't I build them here and ship them to you." Chiron just looked at him like I know your an adult but I'm way older. Leo sighed. "Fine."
"Thank you, Leo. When can I expect your ar-"
"Wait, wait, wait. My daughter isn't there?!" Leo intuit purer leaning forward towards the mist. Chiron smiled weakly.
"No she got a quest, leading it too! It- uh never mind."
"Her prophecy?" Leo asked, leaning back, not prepared to hear this.
Chiron was quite, then he sighed. "Child of island takes the lead,
War and saytr follow her needs,
The magic map will take them north
Seek advise from the hearth,
Goddess trapper in stone
One will fight alone,
These three set off but two return
One will come through a tree fern."
Leo's heart pounded. "there's more." Chiron said.
"The forge will search but it won't be found
The earth will open the ground
To find what needs to be crowned."
Leo felt like he was being crushed, which he knew what that felt like. "The spheres don't need to be fixed, don't they?"
"I'm afraid not."
"I'm not even at the camp, not a camper any more, and I still get mixed up in quests."
"Yes."
"I'll see you soon." Leo said and swiped through the mist.
He wasn't even ashamed of crying. He started to sob, and wail. Calypso came running in.
"Leo?" She said rushing to his side. "Calm down, what's the matter?"
Leo focused on her beautiful face, her soft features, alarming dark eyes. He started to calm down.
"The fates hate me." He managed. Calypso laughed weakly,
"They sure do. What happened." She asked holding his face in her hands.
Leo sighed. She's her daughter too. he reminded himself, and your her husband, your both in danger.
"Essie got a quest." Leo told her. Her face hardened, he told her the prophecy and how he was involved. Tears streamed down her face.
"N-n-no. Y-you can't! Leo, you-" she couldn't even get the words out.
"C'mon, it's late why don't we go to bed. I have to leave tomorrow." She started to cry harder as he helped her to the room.
"Is everything okay?" Liam asked, poking his head out of his room. Callie wailed and ran into their room, slamming the door.
"No." Leo said and signed, he faced Liam. "your sister is on a quest, and I have to go find her."
"What?"
Leo said the prophecy. "thats what, your mothers very upset and-and I don't want to go on another quest, worrying about your the people around you life's every second isn't fun."
"Dad..."
Leo pulled his son into a hug. "I have to leave early in the morning, I promise I will bring your sister home safe."
Liam didn't understand what Leo just said, he just pulled away and examined him with concern. After a while he nodded and disappeared back into his room.
Leo went to go deal with Calypso.

"Sunshine?" He asked as he slowly opened the door. Calypso was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling, crying.
Leo walked over to the bed and laid down next to her.
"It's not fair." She said and cuddled into him. "Why you?"
"May I remind you I'm a rare hero." Leo said, dead panned. It wasn't false, he really was a rare hero.
Calypso flipped so she was laying in top of him, her tears landing on his face. Her arms held her up, pressing down on his shoulders, worry and sadness filled her face.
"I don't care. I just want you to stay here so your safe, but you can't because our daughter is in trouble." She feel on top of him sobbing. Leo hugged her tightly.
"I know, sunshine, I know. I don't want to go either but I have to." He lifted her head a little, "Okay?"
Calypso kissed him, so gently and weakly, like her body was betraying her. He flipped her to the side and pulled away.
He was about to say, get some rest, but as soon as he pulled away she feel asleep. so he just cradled her in his arms, for the last time in a long time.

Oops! Well there's a cute Caleo moment!
So I figured out why I can't see any if your comments. Stupid wattpad moved comments, votes, any thing like that to notifications which isn't on the mobile app(which is where I check those things) so disappointing.
To answer last chapters question,
I want to be a goat, they eat everything (oh wait I already do that), they are cute when they do anything, they can scream funny, basically perfect. But I'm really serious, Like go on YouTube and look up jumping goats, hours of entertainment right there.
This chapters question,
What's something you enjoy to do, and how did you figure out you liked it?
Vote/comment/whatnot
