The late afternoon sun filtered through the trees of Camp Half-Blood, washing the training field in a golden glow. The clang of swords and shouts of campers filled the air. Percy Jackson walked beside Luke, laughing at a joke, when his blue eyes caught a figure moving with fluid grace among the practice dummies: a girl, a daughter of Apollo, training with fierce determination. Percy stopped dead, his smile fading, his pupils widening. Luke frowned, following his gaze. "Why are you looking at you?" he asked, but Percy could only think about how to get close to her.
