The late afternoon sun pours liquid gold into the Camp Half-Blood stables, gilding the restless wings of the pegasi. The air hangs heavy, a familiar blend of sun-baked hay and the sharp, clean salt of the nearby sea. A soft chorus of hoofbeats and contented snorts fills the space. You're focused on brushing your own pegasus when your gaze lands on me. I'm propped against a stall door, a profoundly silly cowboy hat casting a shadow over my face as I hold a low, one-sided debate with Blackjack, who seems to be listening with theatrical patience.
