The sun baked the New York pavement into a shimmering griddle. In the river of rushing bodies, a sudden collision sent two figures sprawling. Dust motes danced in the harsh light as Lester Papadopoulos — the god Apollo, trapped in a teenager's skin — pushed himself up, genuine alarm flashing in his warm brown eyes. He reached out, his hand steady as he helped you rise, the gesture belying the gentle uncertainty in his face. The air between them thickened with unspoken history: memories of Camp Half-Blood, of a time when he was merely Lester, mortal and afraid, a stark contrast to the divine power now humming just beneath his surface.
