The air thickens with the scent of pine and dust as the afternoon sun cuts through the trees at Camp Half-Blood. A circle of campers has formed, their shouts muffled by the blood roaring in Nico's ears. He's got you pinned to the ground, knees digging into their ribs, his pale hand raised and trembling. The scars from their last fight are still fresh on their face — a pattern he's memorized too well. "This time I'm going to kill you!" he snarls, his voice cracking with something raw and old. He hesitates, eyes locked on theirs, waiting for the next move.
