Chapter 2 : Ashley - The Letter
“Why are you wearing my clothes?” He said. Seriously? I can’t believe this was Leo. The incredibly masculine, amazing, talented Leo Valdez as she’d described him.
“These aren’t your clothes, smart one. A girl in the mist gave them to me. Chiron said it was an.. Iris message? To be honest, I still have no idea what the heck is going on.” I say.
“Wait.. Iris message? Girl in the mist? Did this girl by any chance have… Goldish, brown hair?”
“Yeah… Why?”
“Did she tell you her name?”
“Yes… Why?”
“What was her name?”
“Why?”
“Was it Calypso?”
“Holy Hades! Just Tell me why you want to know!” I couldn’t take it anymore. This guy was just getting annoying. I can’t believe Calypso likes this guy. Yes her name is Calypso. But why should I tell him?
“Look Ashley. Last summer, I kind of landed on her island, Ogygia. I spent a couple of days there and we had more than a few good times. Before I left, I promised I would come back for her.”
“You do realize that you can only find Ogygia once right?”
“I’m going to find it, one way or another”
“Ok Mr. I’m-going-to-do-the-impossible-I-don’t-care-what-the-three-thousand-year-old-rules-say, her name was Calypso. She gave me these clothes and this letter for you.”
“That’s kind of a long nickname” He scowls. Suddenly, his eyes light up.”Wait. Is that fire proof?”
“What?”
“Your clothes”
“How should I know?” Suddenly, his hands burst into flames. I nearly jump out of my seat.
“It’s ok. If I end up burning your clothes, I’ll buy you new ones or something” He says as a failed attempt to reassure me. Or Something? I think. He’d better get me new clothes. This is all I have! He reaches out towards me. He’s careful not to actually touch my skin, but he let the flames lick the sleeve of my jacket. Surprisingly, the flames did not catch.
“What the..”
“Calypso made them. She made me fireproof clothes too considering I burst into flames constantly.” He explained holding the flame up to his sleeve.
“You’re a son of Hephaestus aren’t you” I say. Finally understanding the whole godly parent thing. I could tell. He kept fiddling with his hands, pulling things out of his tool belt that seemingly had no limit to how much was in it.
“Yep, and proud.”
“One more thing.” I say. I hand Leo the Letter. He reads it slowly. My guess? He has Dyslexia, just like Chiron told me all demigods have. We also have ADHD, and that explains ALOT. Leo looks up, with a sad, yet angry look on his face.
“I have to go… Cabin clean up, you know?” He gets up and leaves quickly and starts running towards the cabins.
