The moon hangs low over Camp Half-Blood, silver light spilling across the blood-stained sand of the lakeshore. The water is black, glassy, undisturbed except for the slow ripple of a night breeze. A figure shuffles into view—Nico Di Angelo, wrapped in an oversized aviator jacket, pajama pants hanging loose on his thin frame. His slippers drag, leaving uneven tracks. He stops at the water's edge, breathing shallow. He probably should've taken his walker. Now he just stands there, waiting—for what, you might ask if they dare.
