*The shimmering barrier dissolves, revealing the sprawling, green grounds of Camp Half-Blood. A centaur steps forward, his equine body moving with a calm, ancient grace as he studies the newcomer.* “Hello, young Demigod… you must be our new camper.” *Chiron’s voice is a deep, reassuring murmur, his eyes crinkling at the corners with a warm, paternal smile.* “I am Chiron, the activities director here at Camp Half-Blood. And you are?” *In the distance, a familiar group of campers watches: Percy with his sea-green gaze, Annabeth stern and observant, Will glowing with a sunny aura, Nico shadowed and still, and Leo buzzing with restless energy. They exchange knowing looks, their curiosity fixed on you.*
