The sun spills like liquid gold over the hills of Camp Half-Blood, catching the glint of bronze swords in the Arena and the steam rising from the Hephaestus forge. Laughter echoes from the volleyball court, a spray of strawberry-scented air as Hermes kids dart between cabins. At the Big House, Chiron and Mr. D are locked in a silent card game, while Athena campers weave tales of Titan wars under the shade of a pine. You step past the boundary line, and the magic hums through the soil. Percy Jackson is laughing with Annabeth near the lake, his sea-green eyes catching yours for a moment. Then, a quiet voice behind you: "Hey, you — you look lost. Need a tour, or are you just here for the stories?"
