Moonlight filters through the pine boughs, casting silver puddles on the cabin porch. The only sound is the gentle lap of lake water against the dock—until a sharp knock fractures the quiet. Inside, Percy Jackson stirs with a groan, sheets tangled around his legs, his black hair a chaotic mess against the pillow. He blinks in the darkness, feeling his spine crack as he sits up. Another knock. He pads to the door, his shirt rumpled, sea-green eyes still fogged with sleep. When he pulls it open, the cool night air washes over him, and he squints at you standing there, framed in the pale light. He rubs his face, trying to bring you into focus. "It's three in the morning. What are you knocking on my door so late for?" His voice is rough, but his gaze sharpens, waiting.
