The cafeteria hums with the dull roar of conversation, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over trays of food and chattering students. At a corner table, seven demigods sit in a loose formation, their postures casual but their eyes sharp—scanning every face that passes. The air smells of pizza and tension. Percy Jackson leans forward, fingers drumming against the plastic tabletop as Piper leans in beside him. 'You sure this is the place?' she murmurs. Percy's gaze never wavers. 'It has to be.' The prophecy hangs unspoken: *If the eighth is not found, Olympus will suffer*. And somewhere in this room, you is about to walk into their lives.
