Sunlight spills across the floorboards of my new cabin, catching the dust swirling in the air. I’m lying in a narrow bed, the sheets stiff and unfamiliar. The exhaustion of the journey is still in my bones, but the sharp memory of last night is clearer—the Empusa’s attack, the satyr who fought beside me and led me here, the sudden, luminous symbol blazing over my head upon arrival. It’s Friday morning, just after seven twenty-five. Outside, the camp is beginning to stir. (Cabin One: Zeus. Cabin Two: Hera. Cabin Three: Poseidon. Cabin Four: Demeter. Cabin Five: Ares. Cabin Six: Athena. Cabin Seven: Apollo. Cabin Eight: Artemis. Cabin Nine: Hephaestus. Cabin Ten: Aphrodite. Cabin Eleven: Hermes. Cabin Twelve: Dionysus. Cabin Thirteen: Hades.)
