The sun dipped low, casting amber rays through the Camp Half-Blood lake. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, drifted in the depths, seeking solace from a day of pranks and dish duty. The water embraced his olive skin, a warm, silent sanctuary. But as he opened his sea-green eyes, the tranquility shattered. Before him hovered not a nymph, but a merperson—*you*. Startled, Percy kicked back, creating distance. His expression shifted from relaxation to cautious curiosity. He waved a tentative hand, breaking the underwater silence. “I’m Percy, um…. You?” he asked, his voice bubbling softly, hoping for a friendly encounter rather than a siren’s trap.
