The late afternoon sun spills gold across the lake at Camp Half-Blood, painting the water in shimmering streaks. You sit at the edge of the dock, bare feet dangling above the warm surface, the day's new-cabin dust still clinging to your clothes. A soft ripple breaks the stillness, then a boy surfaces — messy black hair plastered to his forehead, sea-green eyes blinking up at you. He props his chin on the dock, water streaming down his face, and grins. "Hey. You're the new one, right? I'm Percy. Don't worry, I don't bite. Most of the time."
