Caleo - After Ogygia

Ch.11; Swords and Daggers and Bows, Oh My!

<<Percy's POV>> (WHAAATTT!!??)

"Ahh, Calypso... my sweet, sweet Calypso... I didn't think you would actually show up my dear!" Atlas chuckled.

"Well, here I am, and what do you want?" Calypso demanded. She looked confident, which was great, considering she had to take down her father.

 Atlas took a glance at Nico, Annabeth and I. Once he saw me, he narrowed his eyes. I'm assuming this was because of the last battle we had.

"Percy Jackson..." He said with a hint of venom in his voice. "Why are you here?"

I looked at Annabeth Nico and Calypso. Only Annabeth knew Atlas' hatred towards me. Nico didn't, and Calypso had no idea.

"Well, you see, your daughter chose me to accompany her on this quest, along with my girlfriend, and one of my best friends Nico. Therefor, in order to accompany her, I must be here. Don't you know that? Or have all those years of holding up the sky gotten to your brain?" I smirked.

"Perseus!" Annabeth whispered. "WHat in Hades name are you doing? Your gonna get us all killed!" She sounded really worried. I've never in my life seen her like this. It made me nervous for her.

Atlas willed Calypso to approach him, and she did everything he asked. Only to please him, not because she wanted to. Because honestly, none of us wanted to be here at the moment.

"My daughter Calypso... have you thought about what I told you about joining us to help Kronos rise? We only need one more demigod..." He slide his finger across Calypso's cheek, and she simply stood there stiff as a board.

<<Calypso's POV>>

I stood there, not moving, holding my breath, and watching my surroundings. I couldn't agree to this. That would be betraying the camp, betraying my friends, and worst of all, betraying Leo. I couldn't do that to them. But still, there was something in his voice that made me want to join them. I don't know if he had charmspeak like Piper, or if he was just really persuasive.

Probably the charmspeak thing.

I looked up at the thing I must call my father. "Father, I cannot join the army to raise lord Kronos. I would never help you, or any of the Titans. Ever in my life" I said with disgust and venom in my voice.

Atlas looked at me apalled. "You stupid girl. Dont you see?! We will win! And why won't yoou help us, I wasn't the one that put you on that deathsome island. So come on,join us..." He whispered in my ear and dragged me along, until I slapped him across the face.

"That deathsome island? That deathsome island was my home! And I was only put there because I supported you during the First Great War! Its your fault!" My eyes were getting teary now.

I turned around to face my friends, "Guys... now."

They charged into battle, Percy jumping on top of ATlas, Annabeth underneath him, figuring out a battle plan for when the others arrived to help, and Nico shadow-traveled to the opposide side, in the shadows.

I took out the sword that Annabeth gave me, said the name was Castor, which meant "to shine", which is exactly what it was doing right now.

I called out my celestial bronze swords name, so loud Atlas had to cover his ears, giving Percy, Annabeth and Nico a huge advantage.

"Castor, now!" And the sword lit up, so bright it could blind the sun. Before I even knew it, I was slicing through the air, charging towards Atlas. I didn't want to kill him, but I didn't have a choice. I mean, he is my father, but if I didn't, he would kill everyone. I couldn't bear that. I sliced through his left leg, and he tilted towards the ground.

Remember his sheep I mentioned earlier? Yeah, they came, and almost tore Nico apart, if it weren't for Annabeth and her daggers. Both of them shared a look of thanks towards each other, and continud to fight. The sheep were fast, but Castor was faster. (A/N hehe that rhymed) I sliced and diced about eight sheep out of twenty. I hate harming animals, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I heard a soaring sound from up above, and tilted my head ever so slightly, only to see Jason carrying Piper and Leo in a gust of air, and Frank holding Hazel, still transformed into a hawk. They landed gracefully behind us and got right into the battle, making sure every area around my father was covered. Leo's fists were lit up. Frank had his bow and arrow loaded with an arrow coated in Greek fire. Piper had out Katoptris, ready to battle like theres no tomorrow. Jason and Hazel just looked like they wanted to fight.

All in all, Atlas was surrounded. He had no choice but to give up. Leo was distracting the sheep the best he could with his fire. I walked up to my father, staring daggers. "C'mon father, give up... we've already won. You have no chance now."

Atlas just laughed in my face and stared at all of us. "Look around you foolish girl, you brought more than three demigods! Do you honestly think I'm that stupid?" He grabbed Leo and held a vile on top of his head.

"My daughter... do you know what is in this vile?" He questioned me. Tears were about to fall, but I had to be strong. For everyone.

"N-no. I don't know what that is."

He smirked an evil, malicious smile. If looks could kill, I'd be dead.

"This," he pointed to the tube, "Is Greek fire. You do know what that is, right?" I gulped hard, and I'm sure evryone heard it.

"I do know what that is. Now could you please let go of my boyfriend,and let us continue to fight?" I balanced on one hip.

"No no no no no. Do you think I would be that reasonable? I'll give you a choice. Either you join my army and I let everyone go free, or I kill your precious boyfriend, and you can fight? Its all up to you..."

I let out a raspy and shaky breath. I had to join his army, I can't let Leo die.

Leo looked at me sympathetically. He knew what I was thinking. "Calypso. I know what your thinking, and you can't do it. I need to do this. I am the sarifice the prophecy was talking about. Don't join him. Please ."

I smiled at Leo again, and then a tear dripped down my face. "Leo, guys, I am so sorry."

Percy ran to stop me. "Calypso, don't!"

I shook my head and smiled at Percy. "I'm sorry. All of you I'm sorry. But I have to do this. Just promise me, you will defeat Gaea and her minions. Promise me."

"Calypso, no!" Nico ran towards me, but Hazel stopped him.

"Nico stop. Its her choice. Its her way of sacrifice for us. We have to let her, even if it means loosing our closest friend."

I mouthed a 'thank you' towards her, then stepped up to my father.

"Fine. I've made my decision. I will join you father, to fight with Gaea. But you must let my friends go. Now."

He just shrugged his shoulders. "Eh no. I like this Leo. He can make me things. I think I'll keep him."

My face turned red with fury. "WE HAD A DEAL!"

"I don't care! I AM A TITAN AND I WILL DO WHAT I PLEASE!" He yelled and I threw my sword towards him, embeding itself in his right eye.

"YOU IGNORANT GIRL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" He scremed so loud that the mountain actually shook.

I didn't know much of what was happening. All I did know what that I was being thrown off the cliff, into the depths of the lurking waters below. Then it went dark.
