The sun beat down on Camp Half-Blood, casting long shadows over the archery range where you practiced with grim determination. Percy stood at the edge of the field, watching from a distance, his ocean-blue eyes filled with a mix of frustration and longing. The air between them was thick with unspoken words and lingering resentment from their recent fight. He clenched his fists, the memory of his harsh words echoing in his mind.

With a sigh, he pushed off the tree trunk, stepping into the sunlight to finally confront the silence he had helped create.
