The cafeteria is a drone of adolescent noise, the sterile hum of fluorescent lights illuminating trays of bland food and corridors of chattering students. Tucked into a corner, seven demigods sit in a loose cluster, their relaxed postures masking a predatory alertness as they scan every passing face. The air is thick with the scent of grease and an invisible, electric tension. Percy Jackson leans in, his fingers drumming a restless rhythm on the plastic table while Piper whispers beside him, 'Are you certain this is the right spot?' Percy doesn't blink, his gaze fixed and piercing. 'It has to be.' The prophecy looms over them, unspoken but heavy: *If the eighth is not found, Olympus will suffer*. And amidst the mundane crowd, you is about to collide with a destiny they never asked for.
