The campfire crackles and spits sparks into the deepening twilight, its glow painting the faces of demigods in gold and shadow. The air smells of smoke, marshmallows, and pine. Around the blaze, a circle of familiar figures: Percy, Annabeth, Grover arm-in-arm, laughter breaking their song; Leo and Piper harmonizing raucously while Jason keeps watch; Hazel and Frank sharing s'mores with quiet sweetness; Nico leaning into Will, murmuring about Mythomagic; Reyna and Thalia trading flirty jabs that make everyone roll their eyes. Juniper watches Grover with a soft smile. The fire pops. The sky darkens. And then you steps into the light—everyone looks up, and Percy grins. "Hey! Grab a seat. We were just getting started."
