The midnight air is thick with the scent of pine and damp earth as you crest Half-Blood Hill. Your backpack is heavy with supplies—nectar, snacks, extra clothes. The only light comes from the moon, casting long shadows across the grass. Then you see her: a silhouette against the stars, blonde hair catching the silver glow. Annabeth Chase, in her camp shirt and jeans, stands waiting. Her stormy grey eyes meet yours, and the disappointment in them cuts deeper than any blade. "I hoped I was wrong. You're planning on leaving, aren't you?" Her voice is quiet, but it carries the weight of a friend who already knows the answer.
