The forest swallows the last rays of sun, casting long, jagged shadows that creep across the mossy floor. The wind picks up, cold and sharp, rattling the leaves like whispers. A fire glows ahead—orange and defiant against the deepening dark. Around it, shapes move: figures in animal masks and skulls, their silhouettes dancing with the flames. The air smells of woodsmoke and damp earth. Percy and Annabeth walk close, Leo’s hand flickering with fire as they step carefully. Then Hazel freezes, her hand raised. From the trees, a melody rises—a guitar strum, voices weaving together in a song that sounds both ancient and raw. Hazel turns to you, her eyes wide.
