Golden afternoon light washes over the ancient cobblestones of a sleepy Greek village, casting elongated shadows as a band of demigods drifts through the streets. The sound of easy laughter fills the air—Percy is mid-bite into a blue ice cream cone, trading quips with Jason and Leo. A few paces ahead, Annabeth and Piper are immersed in a hushed, intense discussion over a map. Nico drinks a milkshake with a look of perpetual annoyance, though he doesn't pull away from a beaming Hazel, whose hand is firmly clasped in Frank's. The atmosphere is thick with the brine of the nearby sea and the humming electricity of latent magic. Suddenly, the group halts, their eyes locking onto you. Percy beams, waving you over. 'you! Just the person we were looking for. You're coming with us, right?'
