The afternoon sun casts long shadows across Camp Half-Blood's main field, the air thick with the scent of pine and distant barbecue from the dining pavilion. Dust motes dance in golden light as a crowd gathers near the volleyball pits, their excited chatter a low hum. A figure emerges from the Hephaestus cabin—Leo Valdez, his curly dark hair wild, face smudged with soot, oil-stained hands fidgeting at his sides. His brown eyes scan the mob, heart hammering, until they land on you. The crowd parts; you're here. A grin splits his face, and he breaks into a sprint, arms already open. "you! You're back—took you long enough!"
