Chapter 17

Week 2

Leo POV

I woke up at around 8 and Calypso wasn't beside me.

She's probably training...

I threw the blankets off of me and got out of bed. I put on some black jeans and a plain white shirt. I grabbed tool belt from off the floor. As I walked towards the Bunker's steel doors I heard voices from outside. I placed my hand on the door and the opened. I saw Frank and Hazel, arguing about who was going to knock on the door.

" Leo!" Hazel gave me a hug and kissed my cheek.

" Hey Levesque. What are you guys doing here?" She pulled away and Frank came up to shake my hand.

" We just stopped by to visit for today. Hazel was sad because she hadn't seen anybody since the war." Frank explained.

That's right... as soon as we got back from the war Frank and Hazel went back to Camp Jupiter. That felt like so long ago.

" So uhhh who's the new camper training with Percy? " Frank asked.

" Her name's Calypso." I said.

They both looked shocked. I was surprised they knew who Calypso was, considering the fact that they were Roman. But then again, Hazel talked to Annabeth a lot.

" Calypso? Like the Calypso?" Hazel asked. " What's she doing here? Isn't she supposed to be on her island? "

" I rescued her. " now Frank looked suprised. They waited for an explanation. So I told then everything. Including the fact that we were together.

" Leo, that's awesome!" Hazel said.

" Good for you!"

Frank was silent for a while.

" Wow Leo."

" You're a true poet, Zhang." I smirked and he frowned.

" So are you going to join us with the group at the lake?" Asked Hazel?

" The lake?" I asked.

" Yeah, Percy said that he wanted to go the lake, now that everyone is here."

My spirits raised and then my heart sank, quickly realizing something.

" If you guys are here, then Reyna is here, too... am I right?"

" No." Frank said " she stayed at camp, said she was preparing for something important."

Thank the gods, but that meant that Reyna was taking this seriously, that Calypso might be in trouble.

" Leo?"

I hadn't realized I spaced out.

" Yeah, Hazel?"

" You still haven't answered my question."

" Yeah, Calypso and I will go. "

" Great! See you there!"

She and Frank walked away. I made my way to the forge to get Callie's sword. I retrieved it from it's hiding place and made an over-the-shoulder strap for the blade. I pulled it over my head and placed it on my shoulder to make sure it was secure. It was. I walked out of the Forge and made my way to Arena. When I entered I found Calypso running laps.

Percy called me over and saw the sword.

" Is that it?" He asked.

" It sure is. " I took it off my shoulder and handed it to Percy. He saw the scabbard and was already impressed.

" I hope the blade looks as good as the scabbard." He smirked and unsheathed the blade. It glowed thanks to my dad's blessing.

" Damn Leo, this thing is seriously awesome. Is this crystal?" He touched the flat of the blade and slid his hand across it.

" Yeah, it's made from the crystal that was on Calypso's island. " I said.

Percy sheathed the blade and handed it to me. I took it and swung it back over my shoulder.

" Why is Calypso running laps? " I asked.

" I knocked her down. Whenever I win the fight with her on the ground she runs 10 laps. She's making amazing progress. Last time she ran was her first day of training. " Percy looked at me. " Is the sword perfectly balanced for her?"

I scoffed at the question.

" Alright, alright. Just asking."

Calypso finished her last lap and her way back to us. I hid the sword behind my back, hoping she hadn't already seen it. She saw me and came in for a hug but was stopped by Percy's sword.

" Sorry, no PDA during training. " he grinned.

" I can't hug Leo but you and Annabeth can make out while I practice with dummies?" Percy stopped grinning and put his sword down.

" Looks I win." Calypso smiled and hugged me. " What are you hiding behind your back repair boy?"

" Oh, just your new sword."

She smiled and started jumping up and down. Literally.

" How did you know I needed one?!" She said, still jumping.

" Percy asked me to make you one while you were sleeping. " I explained.

I revealed the blade and handed it to her. She saw the scabbard and started to tear up when she saw Ogygia written on it.

" Before you start crying, you should unsheath the actual sword." I said

 She obliged and unsheathed the sword. Her eyes widened and tears began to flow down her cheeks.

" Leo... is this made from the crystal that was on my island?" She was staring at her new sword the whole time.

" Yes it is, Calypso. If you're wondering why it's glowing it's because Hepheastus made it unbreakable and gave it the ability  to hurt monsters. That reminds me, my dad says hi."

 She dropped the sword and kissed me. Percy whistled and rolled his eyes.

I pulled away " So does that mean you like it?"

" I love it, repair boy."

 Percy seperated us.

" That's enough you two. Calyspo, you still need to name it."

She quickly replied " Νησί Crusher or Ni̱sí Crusher ."

 Percy and I had trouble translating the greek and Calypso realized.

" It means Island Crusher."

   Annabeth walked in through the entrance and joined Percy at his side.

" Hey guys! Wow... cool sword Calypso." Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand.

" Thanks! Leo made it for me." She looked at me and did the same thing Annabeth did to Percy.

" Are you guys coming to lake?" Annabeth looked at Calypso then at me.

" Yeah." I said.

 As we were walking to the lake we were joined by Jason, Piper, Frank, and Hazel. When we had arrived at the lake the sun was already setting; turning the sky pink and making an orange light refract off the lake.

" It's beautiful." We all said in unison. After realizing we had, we laughed for a while. We sat on the beach exchanging stories and sharing laughs everyone making jokes about Calypso's fight with Reyna to loosesn her up and not worry as much.

 Doing something as simple as sitting by the lake and talking with friends made my life worth while. It made me forget that I was a demigod who saved the world on multiple occasions with the people in front of me. But now, everyone had their other half, I'm not the odd man out anymore because I had Calypso.

 I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her. Apparently every other couple kissed at the same time we did, making us laugh even more. My life is perfect the way it is right now. A year ago, if a god had given me the chance to lead a normal life I would've taken them up on th offer immiediately. But now, I would say no immediately. Seeing all of my friends and their significant others made me realize that. They made Camp-Half-Blood  more than just a place to escape from monsters.They made it my home.
