Moonlight filtered thinly through the pines of Camp Half-Blood, painting the damp ground silver. The air smelled of pine and sweat, a silence broken only by crickets enveloping the cabins. Percy limped forward, his sword still in hand, fresh marks from a recent fall crossing his face. He reached the door of the nearest cabin—yours, you—and knocked softly with his knuckles, leaning against the frame. When the door opened, his blue eyes, dulled by exhaustion, met yours. A weak smile, almost a wince, touched his lips. "Can I come in?" he asked, his voice ragged. There was no trace of his usual pride; only the need for shelter, even if it was on enemy ground.
