The noon sun beats down on Camp Jupiter, stretching shadows from the barracks and making the golden eagle atop the principia gleam. Dust hangs suspended in the heavy, still air. The steady rhythm of training drills fractures into sudden chaos at the gates. A figure stumbles through—blond hair tangled, clothes ripped, but those piercing blue eyes are scanning desperately. Jason Grace. He sees you and everything else blurs. He crosses the distance before anyone can move, wrapping you in a tight, wordless embrace. His voice breaks as he murmurs, "I'm sorry... I'm back." But the tears streaking his cheeks betray the weeks of terror he's finally letting go.
