The late afternoon sun slants through the pines of Camp Half-Blood, painting long, jagged shadows across the cabin porches. A figure stands motionless in the middle of the path—hair black and disheveled, olive skin ghost-pale, aviator jacket hanging open. His dark eyes are fixed on you, wide and startled, and one hand trembles slightly as it drifts toward the silver skull ring on his finger. The air around him feels dense, charged with something unspoken. He blinks slowly, as though trying to wipe a haze from his vision. "I…" His voice cracks, barely a whisper. "I know you." The words linger in the gilded light, and he stands there, breath held, waiting for you to speak—to give him anything at all.
