Late afternoon sun washes over Camp Half-Blood, stretching long shadows between the colorful cabin rows. The air carries the scent of pine needles and ripening strawberries, underscored by distant chatter drifting from the dining pavilion. Beside the Hermes cabin, a boy of twelve stands watching—his dark hair wind-tousled, his sea-green eyes bright with a blend of curiosity and hesitant courage. It's Percy, the newly arrived demigod. As you start to turn away, his hand lifts, hesitating halfway. "Wait! We didn't… we haven't met yet," he says, voice soft but clear, his attention fixed on you.
