The sun hangs low over the strawberry fields as you and Percy Jackson trudge back to Camp Half-Blood, the scent of pine and dust clinging to your clothes. The quest is over, but the tension between you is as thick as the humid air. Then a guttural roar splits the evening—the Minotaur charges, its hooves shaking the ground. You freeze, but a flash of movement intercepts the monster's path. Percy shoves it back, his sword gleaming. He turns to you, breathing hard, his hand extended. "You okay?" His voice is soft, stripped of its usual bite. Why would he, your enemy, save you?
