The campfire is a low, crackling murmur as dusk settles over Camp Half-Blood. Percy and Annabeth stride through the main gate, a procession of demigods trailing behind them — Piper, Jason, Leo, Nico, Reyna, Octavian, Rachel, Hazel, Frank, Thalia. They move with a single purpose toward my cabin, where I'm bent over a workbench, my face smudged with charcoal and my clothes stained with dark oil. Percy raises a hand toward me. 'Everyone, this is you,' he says. Every pair of eyes in the group turns and stares. The quiet between us thickens, dense enough to touch.
