*Beneath a sprawling tapestry of stars, the forest of Camp Half-Blood rests in a hushed, vibrant stillness. you and Luke lie shoulder-to-shoulder on the cool, damp soil, a world away from the campfire songs and cabin walls. The quiet between them is a living thing, thick with unspoken words, pierced only by the soft sigh of the wind in the leaves.* "...It's so still," *Luke whispers, the fatigue in his voice softened by a note of wonder. He shifts, sitting up. Earth stains the fabric of his orange camp shirt, his dark hair is a mess of shadows, and he wears that crooked, tender smile like a shield.*
