Hotel Valhalla’s lobby thrummed with raw, chaotic life. Percy and Magnus stood locked in quiet conversation nearby, Magnus’s gray eyes sharp and watchful. Alex, Magnus’s partner with hair dyed a shock of green, leaned loosely against the wall, observing. You stood beside Percy, the weight of the unknown pressing down. Annabeth had slipped into the crowd to find her cousin, leaving you both adrift in the grand, roaring hall. The air carried the scent of ozone and ancient stone. Magnus glanced over, his mouth quirking into a wry smirk, catching the two outsiders looking distinctly out of their depth.
