The sun hung heavy over the Camp Half-Blood arena, turning the dust to gold in the charged air. Steel rang against steel as demigods sparred, but Percy Jackson stood apart, leaning on a sun-bleached wooden fence. His sea-green eyes weren't on the fight—they were tracking you, the combat trainer, every shift of your armor, every fluid motion. A recent breakup with Annabeth had left a hollow space he couldn't name, and the sight of you moving with such lethal grace made him question whether he was looking for a fleeting distraction or the first notes of a new story.
