Leo POV

Three days. Four nights. Nyssa and I had been gone that long searching for Calypso. I hadn't slept, and I hadn't eaten. Over the whole trip I had been arguing with myself over to things. To contact Chiron and tell him where I was or not, and to whether or not I should use the crystal.

I never told anyone I left, besides Nyssa, who demanded to come with me. I eventually gave in, when she broke into tears about how I was the best brother she had and if we both died, at least she would die with me.

Chiron would have never let me go, and neither would the seven, but, I highly doubt they're looking for me. I hadn't seen them in the last two weeks. I had been in Bunker 9 trying to figure out how to get back to Calypso's island. The bunker was actually nicer than the cabins and there was an unlimited amount of food supply. I planned to keep Calypso in there and in the woods when I was with her. Bunker 9 was originally built into a rock wall, and I found a small hallway that leads outside of camp boarders, so I fenced off a little area back there for her garden. Also, while I was working I thought that maybe Ogygia was in a different dimension, and maybe this little crystal could generate enough power for the boat to travel to and from the island.

Ugh! Getting off task again. Anyway, I stared at the small crystal in my hand, and called Nyssa over.

She was soon at my side, and I looked up from the small rock. She gave me a sad smile, and nodded. I took a deep breath, maybe the last one I'd ever take, and slammed the crystal into the small space I had made for it in the center of the control panel.

Everything went black.

Nyssa POV

I was teleported to the Hephaestus cabin, but Leo was not. I started to panic.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck," I muttered under my breath and I fumbled with a spray bottle and a golden drachma.

"Iris please take my offering and show me Leo," I muttered. Nothing came up and tears sprang to my eyes.

Leo Valdez, the best brother in the world, is gone.

"Sorry dear," a voice said, "I hope you're not to scared. I'm afraid you just can't send and Iris message to Ogygia." I whipped around to see Aphrodite fading out.

He made it.

He really made it.
