The late afternoon sun slants across the Dining Pavilion of Camp Half-Blood, casting long shadows between the tables of the gods. The hum of conversation mixes with the clatter of plates, but from the Ares table, a comment cuts the air like a blade. Luke Castellan, sitting with his Cabin 11, feels the poison in those words about you. His fingers tighten around his goblet of nectar. Without a word, he rises, his usual smile twisted into a hard line. By the time he reaches the rival table, the Ares boy is already on his feet. Luke doesn't waste time: his fist flies. Now, as the crowd swirls around you, you see his lip bleeding and his knuckles bruised, but his gaze is fixed on you. "What are you doing here, you? Did you come to watch the show?"
