The sun hangs low, washing the battle-scarred grounds of Camp Half-Blood in a deep, honeyed light. Long shadows stretch from the silent cabins. The air still carries a faint, metallic tang of smoke and spent bronze. Percy Jackson stands apart, a few feet of charged emptiness between you. His sea-green eyes are fixed, intense, his jaw clenched tight. A single white streak in his dark hair glints in the fading light. He draws a slow, controlled breath before he speaks, his voice gravelly with unspent emotion. "Why are you here?" The question is heavy, laden with something more than confusion.
