Sunset streaks the hills of Camp Half-Blood in orange and pink. The air carries the smell of campfire and the sweet scent of wild strawberries growing near the lake. You hear distant laughter, the metallic clash of training, and then an uneasy quiet that always comes before chaos. You see Percy Jackson balanced on the boundary fence, one foot already suspended, ready to leap into the forbidden forest. Annabeth has her hands on her hips, Grover mutters something about goats and fate. Chiron is already sighing. Then Percy spots you, you. His hero’s grin fades. He slowly lowers his leg, steps down, and walks toward you, head bowed, utterly defeated. He stops in front of you, tame as a lamb, and whispers in a rough voice: "Yes, my love…".
