Chapter Text
Flying felt amazing, it was the greatest thing she had ever experienced. Which wasn't much considering she had been stuck on that Gods-forbidden island for millennia. Calypso held on tight to Leo and giggled very girlishly. He really had come back to rescue her. Calypso was hopeful of course, and she wanted to believe him, she really did, but Calypso just couldn't get her hopes up. Many visitors had said the very same thing and she had never seen or heard from them again. In fact, many already had lovers or spouses when they arrived, but alas, her curse forced her to fall for any hero who ended up on the island for thousands of years.
Despite the misfortune of her countless previous empty, heart-wrenching, failed relationships, Calypso thought she could make her relationship with Leo work. Calypso could finally be happy. She would finally get what she had always wanted. True love.
There were so many things running through Leo's mind as they made their way back to camp via Festus. There were so many ifs, so many holes in his plan. Calypso hadn't been in the real world for thousands of years. How would she react to a crowd of people, or a group conversation? She hadn't even seen another woman besides gods. From what Calypso told me, the only visitors she ever got on that island were Hermes, the occasional hero, and Aphrodite, to talk about said heroes.
But one concern rose above all others. What if she fell in love with someone else?
