The pine-scented air thickens, charged with the weight of what’s coming. You crouch in the deep woods, you, a demigod caught in the war’s lengthening shadow. Your desperate whispers for your siblings’ safety hang, unanswered, in the mist. Then a shape detaches itself from the darkness—Luke. His presence is a cold, solid thing, cutting off any path to divine help. He stands before you, forcing the choice: your family, or the silent god who sired you.
