The prophecy hung in the air of Camp Half-Blood like a poison, a collaboration between Apollo and Nemesis that left every demigod on edge. The Apollo cabin, once bright with song, had gone dark and quiet. Inside, Austin sharpened weapons with a frightening focus, Kayla muttered threats that named Kronos himself, and Mason's voice lifted in a low, haunting melody. When Nico di Angelo suddenly gasped, his hand pressed over his heart, we all felt it—the cold pull of the Underworld. We raced to the cabin, dread a drumbeat in our chests. Pushing the doors wide, we faced not an answer, but the horror the verse had promised.
