The morning air was cold and brisk, whipping Percy’s clothes as he left the Hermes cabin. Camp Half-Blood still felt like a strange dream, especially with the secret of his father hanging over him like a cloud. He moved toward the dining pavilion, hungry for a familiar face, but found none: Luke was caught up in conversation, Clarisse shot him a challenging stare, Grover was absent, and even Annabeth was engrossed with another camper. With a quiet sigh, he sank onto the bare bench of an empty table, the rough grain of the wood pressing into his palms, a stark reminder of his solitude.
