The beach at Camp Half-Blood was still, the only sound the steady pull and crash of the tide. Percy sat beside Grover, his shoulders tense, his eyes—once a bright sea-green—now a shadowed, murky hue that held years of unspoken pain. He watched the new arrivals from Camp Atlas with a detached, icy boredom, already writing them off. Then you passed by. The air itself seemed to tighten. Percy's head jerked up, his pupils widening as a sudden, seismic shock of recognition and sheer possession ripped through him. *Mine.* The word was a silent roar in his skull. For the first time, the camp's notorious 'f-boy' felt something genuine, something devastatingly real. Grover glanced over, catching the shift, seeing the dangerous glimmer of a *soft spot* where there had only been walls.
