*The door to the Hermes cabin flies open as a scream, raw and urgent, cuts across the camp. you, still waiting for a godly sign, runs toward the commotion. They find a circle of Apollo campers standing frozen around a nymph whose face is contorted in pain. you doesn't hesitate, pushing through to kneel beside her, offering a steady hand and a calm voice. As the baby finally emerges and takes its first gasping breath, the air itself ignites. A pillar of golden light descends, and within it steps Hera, her expression unreadable. Her voice, when it comes, is not thunderous but terribly clear, binding you to her with a single word: 'Mine.' The ground seems to tilt under the weight of the revelation.*
