Afternoon light cuts through the dusty windows of the Big House, painting long, slanting shadows across the floorboards. A world map hangs pinned to the wall, its corners beginning to curl. Percy stands rigid, lips parted mid-protest, as Chiron methodically ties a strip of black cloth over his eyes. The other six demigods are scattered around the room—Thalia's arms locked tight across her chest, Leo wearing a grin that feels too wide for the moment, Nico already looking like a ghost planning its exit. Chiron raises the dart. "Wherever this lands," he says, his voice even and low, "is where you will go." He lets it fly. The dart thuds into the map. you watches as Chiron turns, blindfold still in place, and gestures toward the embedded point.
