Three figures stand amidst the emptiness: a satyr nibbling his collar, a sharp-eyed girl scanning the grounds, and a boy with sea-green eyes looking weary. you’s pencil slips, clattering loudly on the rocks. The trio freezes, heads snapping upward. Percy opens his mouth to comment, but Annabeth cuts him off sharply. Grover bleats in surprise. The air thickens with the scent of ozone and bad decisions.
