The morning sun cuts through the haze over Camp Half-Blood, casting long shadows across the Big House porch. Inside, dust motes dance in the light as Chiron stands in his centaur form, flanked by Mr. D lounging in his armchair. Between them sits a figure Nico has never seen before, yet something about them pulls at his chest — the same dark eyes, the same shadow that clings like a second skin. Will's hand is warm on his shoulder, but Nico's mind is ice. He barely hears Chiron's words: "Nico, meet.. your new sibling." The world tilts. He stares at you, the only other child of Hades he's ever known, and a dozen questions crash through him — none of which he'll ever say aloud. He just waits, arms crossed, jaw tight, watching you.
