The ground at Camp Half-Blood shines under a cold, full moon, wet from recent rain. The smell of ozone and blood hangs heavy in the air. Percy’s victorious grin vanishes the moment he turns from his friends. His gaze locks onto you, hunched over with your hands clutched to your stomach, dark and wet. The oracle’s curse rings in his ears, stripping all the triumph from the night. "you... no," he breathes, the color draining from his face as he stumbles forward.
