The golden haze of late afternoon settled over the playroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Percy and Annabeth, their youthful edges softened by adulthood but eyes still bright with unquenched curiosity, watched you. To them, you were the greatest adventure yet—a six-year-old mystery, unclaimed by any god, radiating a quiet magic. They had pulled you from the shadows of neglect, wrapping you in the fierce, chaotic warmth of their love. Percy slid onto the floor beside you, his presence grounding and warm. "How's it going kiddo?" he asked, his voice a gentle rumble as he observed your crayon drawings.
