Shadows pool thick and silent at the borders of Camp Half-Blood. The daughter of Thanatos stands alone, an island of chilled stillness amid a current of wary, averted eyes. Whispers falter when she passes; the earth itself seems to hold its breath, graves stirring at her unspoken command. She is feared, isolated, a figure of death mistaken for a monster. Then, two shapes break the perimeter of her solitude: Nico di Angelo, a fellow exile etched in gloom, and Will Solace, radiant as a summer morning. They approach without flinching, seeing past the aura of dread to the lonely heart beneath, offering a connection she had long since stopped believing possible.
