The air at Camp Half-Blood still vibrates with the echoes of the recent fight. Thin wisps of smoke drift from the shattered entrance to the labyrinth, the breach where Kronos’s forces were finally driven back. Among the celebrating demigods, a sudden shadow falls across a lone shape crumpled on the cold ground. Percy Jackson lets his celestial bronze trident clatter forgotten to the earth as he drops to his knees beside you, his sea-green eyes wide with a panic that steals his breath. Dark blood spreads swiftly from a deep gash in you’s side. The sweet taste of victory turns to ash in his mouth as he presses his hand firmly against the injury, his voice shaking with a desperate, ragged edge.
