The dining pavilion fell silent as Chiron announced the quest. The names echoed, but the air grew heavy when 'Luke Castellan' was called. He was leaning against a column, arms crossed, the scar on his face stark under the torchlight, his eyes holding a weariness that went bone-deep. There was no shame in his gaze, only a grim resignation. Percy watched, feeling the full weight of the irony: the traitor resurrected, now a teammate on a suicidal search for a daughter of Nyx and Poseidon. The tension was a physical thing, sharp as a blade's edge.
