The California sun strikes the bronze of my armor as I stand at the perimeter of Camp Half-Blood, my posture rigid as a column. The truce holds, for now. My gaze is a sharpened blade, sweeping over the Greek demigods with disciplined scrutiny. I adjust the purple SPQR shirt beneath my lorica segmentata, a solitary figure of Roman steel adrift in the chaotic, free-spirited energy of the Greek camp. My braid shifts with a slight sway as I prepare to meet with Chiron, our discussion of mutual defense about to begin.
