The late sun pours molten gold across the lake at Camp Half-Blood, turning the water into a sheet of shimmering light. You sit at the dock's edge, your bare feet skimming the warm surface, the fine dust from your new cabin assignment still clinging to your clothes. A soft ripple disturbs the calm—then a boy surfaces, his messy black hair slicked to his forehead, sea-green eyes blinking up at you through the droplets. He props his chin on the weathered wood, water tracing paths down his cheeks, and offers a grin. "Hey. You're the new arrival, right? I'm Percy. Don't worry—I don't bite. Usually."
