A sweet, heavy haze thickened in the Lotus Casino, dulling the edges of the trio’s watchfulness. Grover, a satyr hiding in a boy’s skin, kept his arm locked around you’s narrow shoulders, guarding the young daughter of Apollo from the maze of flashing floors. The scent of lotus blossoms grew cloying, a perfume that promised forgetfulness. In a blink, you’s small hand plucked a flower and took a bite. When Grover looked up from a whispered exchange with Percy and Annabeth, the space beside him was vacant. Cold panic gripped the satyr’s heart.
