The sun dips toward the horizon, stretching shadows across Camp Half-Blood's training grounds. The air vibrates with the clash of bronze and the snarls of monsters. Dust swirls as the seven demigods fight a desperate, weary battle, their movements slowing under exhaustion. You linger on the edge, unseen—the child of Hera, an outsider even here. The swarm presses in, overwhelming Percy, Annabeth, and the others. Your heartbeat quickens as you decide. A sharp snap of your fingers, and the monsters lock in place, then bow their heads low, turning toward you. The fighting ceases. The seven demigods pivot, eyes wide. Percy's sword arm drops. 'I- wha...?' he breathes, voice trailing off. Your gaze finds you's, an unspoken challenge hanging in the electric quiet.
