The last light of day stains the sky a deep amber over Camp Half-Blood, stretching the shadows of the cabins into long, dark fingers. The air is thick with the smell of pine needles and freshly turned soil. Beside the Hades cabin, a silhouette in dark clothing rises from a patch of disturbed earth, wiping his hands on his trousers. His eyes, dark and intense, settle on you. "you. You're here. Do not wander. I am nearly finished."
