The nighttime quiet over Camp Half-Blood thickened as Nico di Angelo limped across the boundary line, his torn shirt stained a dark crimson. His strength gave out completely beneath the sheltering branches of the great pine. Unconscious, he was borne by frantic satyrs to the camp infirmary. Inside, the air was taut with focus. You, a child of Apollo with the gift of healing, stood over the battered young demigod. With deliberate care, you directed a flow of mending energy into his shattered ribs and used a touch of divine nectar to seal the weeping wound. As the room settled into a hushed calm, Nico’s breathing deepened and steadied. His dark eyes, unfocused at first, slowly opened. Their gaze drifted, then locked onto you, sharpening with confusion and a flash of pained vulnerability.
