Work
See author note. I have some explaining to do.
Leo
Leo spreads the blue prints of the Argo. Rubbing his chin hard he scans over it serval times.
"Man, I was rusty." Leo chuckle to himself and pulls out serval tools from his belt as well as nuts and bolts, "I should have used a little more steel."
He starts to build the smaller things for the ship tonight before he can't start anything larger the next morning. Halfway through the structure for the engine the door creeks. At first he believes it's Calypso but the person that comes into view causes his breath to disappear.
"Mamà." He said letting the wrench slip from his grasp, clattering loudly to the floor.
She doesn't respond back but she was smiling so big it reaches her eyes. She is in her work uniform, the night she-
Leo shakes his head to try to rid the thought. She was directly in front of him her scent was surrounding him.
Without a second thought he wraps his arms around her and she wraps her arms around him in return.
"I'm so happy you're back." He said into her shoulder and a single tear escapes.
She still hasn't said anything but Leo smelled something different. Fire. His eyes snap open and the whole work room was engulfed in flames. The flames licked up the walls and wood rained down.
Leo pulls his mom closer shielding her body with his own the fire won't harm her but the wood coming down could. He feel a slight warmness coming from his mom and saw she was on fire.
He took a step back in surprise, "What..."
She stood in the center of the room engulfed in flames and one word coming out her mouth over and over softly, "Leo."
But it wasn't in her voice but it was in Calypso, it rose to a scream when he dropped to his knees. Both hands covering his ears, "It's a nightmare."
"Leo!" Calypso yells as his vision clears and her cinnamon color hair ticking his face as she kneeled over him, "I will strike you!"
"Calm it sunshine." Leo said managing a small grin, but his heart was slamming against his ribs. His heart beating faster and faster.
"You are not well." She said helping him into a stool. Calypso walks over to the bathroom and wets a wash cloth and pushes it to his forehead, as they stare into each other eyes, "Speak."
"It was nothing, you know the usual Giants and Gaea and the unlimited ways I could die." Leo said shrugging and lying.
Her eyes narrow but do not lose their softness, "You do not speak the truth."
"It's hard for me to talk about, Sunshine." Leo said looking down but her hand is gripping his chin gently lifting his gaze to level hers.
"I understand." Calypso said and places a kiss on his cheek, "While I'm here, what needs to be done?"
Leo actually smiles, "I need the side of the-"
Something rocks the ground hard. The tools clatter on the table some falling off. Calypso grips a beam to steady herself but another powerful waves causes them both to fall.
"My Great grandmother." She scowls bitterly, "She attempts to wake."
"Great this early." Leo said attempting to pull himself up but fails. The large wood toward the top of the ceiling breaks in half, the broken half swinging toward the pair.
Calypso shoves Leo out the way and backs herself up as Leo scrambles inside his tool belt. She barely missed the wide beam herself. Then as suddenly as the shaking starts it stops.
Leo was swearing a string full of curses in Spanish as he walks over to Calypso, who was brushing the debris from her red t-shirt.
"You alright?" Leo asked looking at her for any injuries but found nothing.
"I'm alright." She said and grabs his hands and pulls him along, "You have to get to the others."
"We." Leo says, "They need all of us."
They try to navigate through the camp, but another powerful earthquake happened. It was so strong Leo thought the ground would split open.
"Curse-"
"Go!" Calypso said and rightly shoves him as a column crashes down and he's rolling. Grass kicks up in his hair as well as dirt.
When the world stops spinning along with shaking he gets up but Calypso isn't next to him. Leo looks up and saw the large marble column but not her.
"Calypso!" He yells climbing over the column. Leo was going to shout her name again but saw her red shirt.
She was lying down with a large chuck of the column next to her head.
She gasps slightly and sits up but Leo is already at her side pulling her close, "I am-" she cuts herself with a groan.
"Don't talk your hurt." Leo said picking in her tool belt for nectar or ambrosia.
"Are you injured?" She asks him as she looks up to the sky a thin trickle of ichor from her cut. She was something special. Part goddess still but she bleed like a mortal and still has her goddess abilities however she still aged.
"Fine. You pushed me out the way like that horrible movie Hercules. Looks like I got to pop up at the underworld and swim in the River of Styx for your soul." Leo said and she laughed which made him smile.
"Hades hair was a blue flame." She said as Leo gripped the ambrosia and handed it to her.
"Hera was pink!" Leo adds and pulls her up looking for any thing wrong, "Are you sure you're okay?"
She nods her head but stumbles slightly, "I am well, do not worry."
"She isn't awake is she?" Leo asked as campers were surprising calm and cleaning up the damage.
"No." Calypso said pulling her hair away from face that has become undone, "But she is attempting to, Gaea needs something to wake her. Like a key to a door."
"Is it like last time? Blood from one of the seven well more like eleven or is is the fifteen with the magicians-"
"I wish I knew so we can prevent her from getting ahold of it." Calypso said cutting in, "She doesn't care about how much blood she has to spill to achieve what she wants."
Leo nods not trusting his voice after all Gaea was around them.
"We should go find the others." Calypso said taking a step but the next second she was gone in a blur.
"Calypso!" He yells and saw the looming cyclops over him but it was to late. The cyclops swing his hand before Leo could react send him slamming against the pillar.
"It was a set up." Leo coughs and as he tries to stand to full heigh the dust falling from him came the second blow.
This time his chest and face were cutting against the hard ground cut opening. Leo flips over just in time to see the fist making a huge imprint in the dirt.
"Calypso." He call her name softly then opens his eyes facing the cyclops, "Long time no see."
"I will-"
"Destroy me? Crush my bones into dust?" Leo said with a painfully grin he definitely had broken something.
"Not you half blood but this pathetic goddess." The cyclops said moving its head slightly to the left.
A large hellhound appears from the shadows and between it's to large paws was a very battered Calypso. He was to clench his fist to keep from sprinting toward her.
"Leave her out of this." He said his voice normal his other hand slipping into his tool belt pulling out his hammer. His clenched fist was now ablaze and the monsters bellowed.
"Fire does not harm me boy!"
"Not you but maybe the hellhound tells a different story." Leo said and unclenched his fist making a fireball then throwing it at the monster.
It howls in pain and stumbles away from Calypso who didn't move at all. The cyclops was already over Leo when he looked up but he swung his hammer skyward knocking it to ground.
Leo then swings his hammer downward right over the belly of the monster it turns to dust. He takes a deep breath but was knocked away once something hard rams into his back, he flips over seeing the blood color eyes of the hellhound.
"Oh I forgot about you." Leo groans, "If I give you a doggie treat will you go back to the underworld?"
At this the beast snaps it jaws at Leo and pressed it large paw on his chest it's nails sinking into his skin. Leo closed his eyes thinking for a plan to escape but the pain as gone.
Opening his eyes dust lingered on him but the monster was gone in its place was Calypso holding a imperial gold dagger he made himself. A harpy swoops in but Calypso with a swift slash was turned to dust.
She wipes her cut over her cheek with the back of her hand, "Curse them."
Leo scrambles to his feet almost falling twice before embracing her which took Calypso off guard, "I thought you were gone."
"I did not give up my immortality to die without you." She said back, "Our fates are intertwined where you go I shall follow even in death."
"Hopefully that's not too soon." Leo said kissing her forehead and pulling away he saw a large mass of monsters toward the little timber. Reyna was there beside Percy who was making two large hands from the water.
Frank was a large grizzly bear and Hazel was riding Arion a trail of jewels following her before she pelted the monsters with it. The magicians were putting glowing hieroglyphics before them which was very effective.
"What do they want?" Leo asked turning to Calypso who eyes were narrowed looking over his shoulder.
"They want the scrolls." She said and turned Leo around and pointed toward the temple of Zeus. Where a shadow loomed then disappeared.
"Then we have to beat them to the punch." Leo said they start to run toward the temple once inside it was a dangerous quiet the only sound were their foot steps.
"I saw something around the temple." Calypso was standing beside Leo.
"I believe you-" Leo started but dropped to his knees as coldness washed over him and he realized what was happening, "Calypso! Get away from me- get the others!"
"Leo!" She kneeled down dropping his dagger holding his face, "What is wrong?"
"Eid-" But his hands reached out and grabbed her shoulder and shoved her back her dagger way beyond reach.
The scrolls were neatly in the corner but he couldn't tell which one was which.
"The scrolls!" His voice hissed, "Where is the Great Prophecy!"
He body whirled around facing Calypso who eyes held angry her dagger clenched in his hand, "Leave foul spirt, this body is not yours to possessed."
"Will you not tell where the prophecy is?" His voice asked as Leo fought to keep his own body in place.
"I rather die." She said.
"So be it." Leo felt his arms set on fire and his body turn in place toward all the scrolls he raised his arms but Leo fought the flame and it disappeared.
The Eidolon hissed and relit his arms but he felt something sharp hit his head and they both crumpled.
"Foolish goddess!" He yelled but it wasn't him as Calypso held her dagger tip to his neck.
"Silence!" She yelled, "I will send you back to Tartarus where you belong."
He chuckled bitterly, "You will not kill me for fear of hurting him the one you love."
Calypso stiffen but the point was even deeper in his neck one movement and he will have bleed, "Evil spirt harm him and you will beg for my mercy which I do not have."
"I will kill you and him if I do not find this scroll I shall burn this temple to ashes!"
"You will do not such thing." Calypso said but out of the corner of his eye saw a familiar figure.
"This again." Piper said and the Eidolon shiver and started to leave his body, "Stay."
He stopped moving and Piper kneeled beside Calypso, "Eidolon are you one of the originally three I banished before?"
"No my brothers are never able to return to the body of the Seven but they posses mortals and demigods in Kronos army. They seek revenge on you." He cold voice that wasn't his own spoke.
Piper rolls her eyes not speaking in charmspeak, "I like to see them try." She turns to Calypso, "What do you want to do to this Eidolon?"
"Banish him to the Fields of Punishment for eternity never to return to this world again." Calypso said removing her dagger from his neck.
"You are banished to the Fields of Punishment never to return to this world again." Piper said and with a hiss the Eidolon left and Leo slumped to the floor.
"I hate when my body is possessed." Leo groans, "It completely sucks."
"Nice to have you back repair boy." Piper ruffles his hair and Calypso pulls his upper body up.
"I was about to burn the scrolls." Leo said and Calypso shakes her head.
"You stopped the Eidolon, the state of this war would have been a lot worse if the scrolls were burned." Calypso said and Piper nods.
"How are we going to protect them?" Leo asked as the temples shakes violently and the smell of electricity tinged the air and Piper walks over to the many scrolls.
She looks back at Leo with her ever changing eyes a bright red feather in her hair, her eyes go to around his waist, "Your tool belt."
"My tool belt?" He said then looms down, "My tool belt!"
Between the three of them all the scrolls were put inside his tool belt for safe keeping when done he pulled the flap over his tool belt, "Done."
"I think the battle is still going on." Piper said and the sprint toward the door but eating outside was a Drakon.
It's yellow eyes on the three of then with only a strand of hair thick pupils. With a ear splitting hiss it lunged.
