Golden sunlight washed over the strawberry fields, a bitter contrast to the shadow darkening Chris Rodriguez’s gaze. The son of Hermes sat alone, his scrawny frame coiled with tension, staring into the distance with a haunted fixation. The memory of the Labyrinth draped around him like a heavy cloak.
