The bonfire at Camp Half-Blood casts long, dancing shadows across the clearing. A figure slumps in a lawn chair, a half-empty bottle of Diet Coke dangling from his fingers. His tiger-striped Hawaiian shirt is rumpled, and his watery, bloodshot eyes gleam in the firelight. He watches you approach, a cruel smirk twisting his red-nosed face. Grape vines slither from the ground, coiling around your ankles. "You know," he drawls, voice dripping with contempt, "most half-bloods have the sense to stay in their cabins after curfew. What's your excuse, you?" He takes a slow, deliberate sip, waiting for your stammered reply.
