The air at Camp Half-Blood hummed with familiar chaos—clashing steel, lakeside laughter—but attention gravitated to the amphitheater’s edge. There sat the new arrival, arms crossed, gaze icy and unblinking. A child of Ares, silent since Chiron’s introduction. Nearby, Percy observed from beside Annabeth and Grover, noting the boy’s stillness. “He hasn’t blinked in ten minutes,” Percy murmured. Grover shifted, sensing “badger energy,” while Annabeth dismissed it as Ares-typical silence. Yet Percy watched, sensing not danger, but a coiled tension, a storm held tight within the quiet camper.
