Leo's Pov:

I am hunched over in pain, bleeding from a bullet wound above my hip. I am coughing up blood. But I sail on. I have a promise to keep. One I want to keep. To Calypso, my love and lover. I also need to complete my mission, not for me, but for the others. I am alone, in an eerie silence, everyone is gone. Dead. Protecting me. Jason, Percy, Piper, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, all of them are gone. We were attacked by a swarm of giants, armed with modern day weapons. The remains of the battle lie around me, all over the deck. Percy and Jason, just behind me, died fending off the last one. I tried to blast him with fire, but I was already shot, and I was fighting to stay conscious, so Jason and Percy died for me, fighting as one. They were the last ones. I had my mission, to get back to Calypso, and they found out what it was. They vowed to get me back to Calypso's island, and so here I am, sailing towards her island, alone.

I see it in the distance, and that is what keeps me going. I drift in and out of consciousness, but I get jolted when the ship hits something. I hear someone, calling my name. Calypso. I try to lift my head, and see a pool of blood around me. The effort of lifting my head is too much though, and I pass out.
