@Sheechiibii: Are you perhaps unable to come up with your own arguments so you use mine against me? Because you pretty much just copied what I said and added "No, I'm not wrong, you're wrong!". You are just assuming, or better said hoping, that he's going to return to CHB?! Because he doesn't say so? Because no, he doesn't need to go back to camp to fix Festus, because if he was planning on going back to camp to begin with he wouldn't have bothered to think that he needed to let his friends know? Because what would be the point of that if he was going to CHB first? You're literally making no sense.

Yes, nothing is written because that doesn't happen. It ends with him and Calypso flying into the sunset. Look, you obviously have the timeline very confused, here's what happens:

1) He wakes up and flies down to Ogygia. 2) He meets Calypso and they bicker for a bit. 4) He tells her that he needs to fix Festus first (somewhere, not in CHB, he was ready to fix Festus wherever they previously landed as it states so in the very beginning of his chapter) and then they can go where Calypso wants. 3) He asks her how much time has passed since he was away and she states that time passes differently on the island. 4) He then thinks about his friends and his thoughts are the following: "He would have to find out. He needed to let Jason and Piper and the others know he was okay. But right now … priorities. Calypso was a priority." So telling his friends he's alive is not a priority. Okay! Because you see, he just stated that. Priorities first, Calypso is a priority, his friends are not. That's literally what he said. I don't care how you turned this around in order to protect him but this is literally, word to word, what he said. 5) He asks Calypso if she's going to stay immortal after leaving the island, she has no idea, neither of them really care hahaha. 6) And now here comes my favorite part, where he pretty much sinks to the bottom of the ocean your theory that he's going back to CHB. This is what he tells Festus: "Buddy, you up for another flight to nowhere in particular?". How can you even keep insisting that he's going back to camp. This is becoming ridiculous. You're stretching yourself thin and canon is pretty much against you at every step. 7) Oh but you see, it gets better, because the book literally ends with this: "The bronze dragon spread his wings, and they soared into the unknown." Yes, I can definitely see why you'd think they'd come back to camp, it makes so much sense now, thank you for opening my eyes with your unfounded theories.

Also, Leo says at the end of his stay on Ogygia that he can't be in love with an immortal girl. He then continues in BoO to say how 'dang he loved that woman'. Do you see Nico say that he loves Will? Do you see the two of them flying off into the unknown? They are their own characters, they don't even have a relationship going on at the moment, it's just the start of something. Can you honestly say the same for Caleo? No, no you can't! Their deal is sealed already and it happened in less than a week time, because that's how long they actually interacted with each other in HoH. I wouldn't have a problem with them being friends first and only after falling in love, but this ridiculous. Also, Leo's whole arc was about him getting a girlfriend? I mean that was the whole build up in BoO, to get the cure and get Calypso off her island. Whereas Nico's arc had nothing to do with Will, he only meets Will at the very end and as I previously stated, RR is only hinting at that.

Lastly, Calypso's personality? Really? Because again, I'm pretty tired to repeat myself btw, Leo barely knows her. He barely knows anything about her. After Gaea appears on the island it takes them three days to gather the supplies and then she falls for him and the magic raft appears. Before Gaea, they barely talk and Leo even states that she doesn't want to see him. Time might pass differently on Ogygia but Leo himself states that only a few days have passed since the whole Gaea scene and the magic raft appearing. No, Caleo is ridiculous and it was only made so that Leo can have a gf and Caypso brought back so that RR wouldn't have to write a new character. Will was brought back as a possible love interest for Nico as well but they're not dating, nothing is certain, it's just the beginning of something, their lives don't revolve around each other, something that can't be said about Caleo.

Thus please stop trying to justify his actions and stop telling people they have nothing to back them up in canon. I've pretty much quoted the book for you. How much more canon than that can you get? If you're just going to ignore that in favor of your own theories then at least have the decency to say so, thus saving us a lot of trouble of trying to show you how wrong you are.
