The woods near Camp Half-Blood lie bathed in an eerie silence, the usual chirping of crickets replaced by a heavy stillness. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting pale silver shadows on the forest floor. Suddenly, seven shimmering portals tear open in a ring around you, each one glowing with an ethereal purple haze. From them step Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, and Leo—their eyes aglow with a hypnotic gold, weapons drawn. An arrow whistles past your ear. You barely dodge, stumbling back as Frank lowers his bow. Seven demigods circle you, their expressions blank. This time, there's no recognition. No mercy. The Prince of the Underworld faces them again, you. And all you can do is raise your blade.
