His whole life might pass here in the time it took his friends on the Argo II to have breakfast.Įither way, he needed to get off this island.Ĭalypso took pity on him in some ways. Or maybe he’d only been on Ogygia for five minutes. For all Leo knew, a century had passed in the real world, and the war with Gaea was over for better or worse. Leo confronted her in the garden, but she just shook her head. He woke up one morning and couldn’t remember if he’d been on Ogygia for three nights or four.Ĭalypso wasn’t much help. The worst part of being stuck here? He was losing track of the days. Khione had simply plucked him off his ship and shot him into orbit. But in the dream, Leo had been given a choice. He’d taken the cliff instead-falling through the sky to this stupid island. That tunnel must have represented the House of Hades, which Leo would never see now. The dream he’d had back on the Argo II finally made sense to him-when the evil sorceress lady had told him to either jump off a cliff into the clouds or descend into a dark tunnel where ghostly voices whispered. Had his friends gotten rid of Khione? Were they looking for him, or had they sailed on to Epirus to complete the quest? He didn’t even dream, which was unusual for him-or for any demigod-so he had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He didn’t have any drachmas for an offering, and apparently the goddess Iris wasn’t interested in nuts and bolts. He tried to send an Iris-message in the rainbows that formed in the sea spray, but he had no luck.
That cheered him up a little.ĭuring the days, he walked the circumference of the island and found nothing of interest-unless you liked beaches and endless sea in every direction. It got cold at night, even on the beach in the summer, so he built fires with the remains of Calypso’s dining table. Leo slept outside on a bed of drop cloths under the stars. If the raft will not appear, that means they’ve closed Ogygia. “You don’t understand, do you? The gods are laughing at both of us. I’ll build something myself and get off this stupid island without your help.” She was way too annoying, and beautiful, and-well, it didn’t matter. She’d never fall for him, because she was totally out of his league. That magic raft would totally arrive for him.īut Leo? He was the annoying guest she couldn’t get rid of. She’d beg him to stay, but he’d be all noble about returning to his duties, and he’d leave Calypso brokenhearted. If Jason were here, Calypso would fall all over him. “Three thousand.” Leo’s mouth felt tingly, like he’d just eaten Pop Rocks.

I had hoped to be free of it by now, but here I am, still stuck on Ogygia after three thousand years.” “You fall in love with them,” Leo guessed. They were all the same! The gods send me the greatest heroes, the ones I cannot help but…” I guess that didn’t sit right when, uh, Percy left you-” You probably never want to see another demigod again. If he was going to get any help from this lady, he needed to be nice. She seemed to be running out of energy for her anger. She scowled at Leo, but she didn’t yell at him to leave. Calypso stood at a washbasin, cleaning the dirt off her arms.
