Calypso walked across her pristine beach, the cool water licking her ankles. The air on land smelled sweet, the water smelled salty, but the the shoreline, where Calypso was walking, seemed like a whole other smell. It calmed her.

It had been three months since Leo had left her island. Everyday she thought about him, but she would always push the thoughts away, distract herself. She didn't want to think about another loss.

Before her, a figure formed out of the sand.

"Oh no," Calypso muttered. Before her was Earth Mother Gaea herself. 

"What are you doing here?" Calypso demanded. Gaea smiled sleepily.

Gaea spread out her hands, like she was expecting a hug. "Poor Calypso. Waiting for a hero who will never come back."

Calypso shook her head. "What do you mean?"

"You hero Leo Valdez will never come back for you."

Calypso took a shaky breath. She already knew that. She didn't need to be reminded.

"Leave," Calypso demanded, Gaea just smiled more evily.

"I will be waking soon. The blood of two demigods will be spilled before, allowing me to rise. You faithful hero of yours will be dead."

"No," Gaea's words ringed inside Calypso's head. She turned to face the Earth Goddess. "Why are you here? To remind me of my horrible fate?"

"Not exactly." Gaea studied the gleaming pebbles and pearls that layered Calypso's beach. Then Gaea gazed to the wide open ocean.

Before Calypso could question her, Gaea spoke. "I have brought some... interesting news." Gaea mused.

Calypso didn't like the way Gaea said that. Calypso's hands balled into fists. "What is it?"

Gaea sighed with no sympathy. "I told you Leo Valdez would not come back," She reminded her.

"The reason for that is his death."

Calypso took a moment to let it process. No. No, it wasn't true. Not possible. No, this was a trick, a little game Gaea was playing to confuse her. But something told her she was telling the truth.

Calypso's legs buckled, and she fell to her knees. Leo was.... dead? He was never coming back?

Calypso wanted to scream. No! She was in love with Leo! Leo helped her! Leo had seemed to be the only bright spot in her curse, and now he was gone. She would never see him again, even if she died. The Underworld was cruel.

Calypso couldn't help it, but she started crying. Her tears washed into the ocean.

Gaea was still smiling in front of her.
