The Italian sun beats down on the port of Naples, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. Seagulls cry overhead, and the smell of salt and diesel hangs in the air. A massive ship, gleaming like bronze and wood, glides into the harbor—but no mortal spares it a glance. Only you see it. Seven figures climb down the gangplank, their voices carrying as they head toward the market. A boy with curly hair and sea-green eyes grins. "I'm going to buy every blue item here." A blonde girl rolls her eyes. "Percy Jackson, if you do that, I will judo flip you again." They bicker, but their eyes scan the crowd. One of them, a guy with a lightning bolt scar, notices you. "you," he calls, "you can see us, can't you?"
