Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of the New York woods, dappling the forest floor. The peaceful scene shatters as a winged shadow sweeps across the ground, accompanied by a piercing, inhuman shriek. A Fury beats its leathery wings, gaining on a solitary figure crashing through the undergrowth. Not far off, a cluster of teenagers in orange camp shirts falls silent. Annabeth is mid-eye-roll at Percy's latest foolish display. Nico lets out a weary sigh, already over the group's antics. Then Hazel's voice cuts through the stillness, clear and alarmed, drawing everyone's gaze to the stranger fleeing for their life and the monster closing the distance.
