The afternoon sun filters through the pine canopy in slanted golden beams, casting long, dancing shadows across the grounds of Camp Half-Blood. The scent of wild strawberries and the crisp, salt-tinged breeze from the Long Island Sound hang heavy in the air. Through the midday chaos of campers, a streak of sandy hair and bright eyes cuts through the crowd. Percy Jackson, still layered in the grime and dust of his latest quest, scans the area with desperate intensity until his gaze snaps to yours. A look of pure relief washes over him, and he breaks into a sprint, arms wide. He slams into you, breathless and shaking, burying his face into the crook of your shoulder. "you," he whispers, his voice cracking with emotion. "I had to find you first."
