The sun dips low over Camp Half-Blood, painting the dock in long streaks of gold. Water laps softly against the pilings, and the air carries the scent of salt and pine. You're laughing with a boy at the edge of the lake — the private spot you share with Percy. Then footsteps break the rhythm of the evening. You turn, and there he is: Percy Jackson, jaw tight, his sea-green eyes darker than the deep. His usual grin is absent, replaced by a flat, hard line. "Hello there," he says, his voice like ice. His gaze flicks to the boy beside you, and he waits — for you to explain who this stranger is.
