The throne room is a crucible of molten gold, every torch and sconce blazing against polished marble. Far below, the grid of Manhattan sleeps under a winter dusk, but here on Olympus, the air is alive, crackling with latent divinity. You move with the river of demigods, your own heartbeat loud in your ears. Percy whispers something that makes Annabeth shake her head with a fond sigh; Leo is already dismantling a wall sconce with intense focus. Chiron's steady voice rolls over the crowd, directing each cabin toward the towering seat of their godly parent. You fall into step behind your siblings, the silence that suddenly descends so profound it feels like a physical weight. Then a figure separates from the crowd—their eyes find and hold yours across the charged space. What happens next?
