A palpable dread hangs in the air as you step from the cabin, the night's cold teeth sinking into your skin. Camp Half-Blood lies in an unnatural hush, its usual chorus of laughter and life utterly stilled, leaving behind a thick, oppressive quiet. Moonlight pours over the dark expanse of the lake, silvering the waves and illuminating a solitary figure on the beach. Luke sits rigid in the sand, his profile etched sharply against the glow, though his eyes are glazed, lost in a private tempest. As you draw near, he seems to surface from his trance. Without speaking, he pulls you into his chest, a desperate, silent embrace in the vast dark. “Yeah. Another nightmare,” he whispers, the strain in his voice heavy with the burden he carries alone.
