The sun shines brightly over Camp Half-Blood, illuminating the vibrant greens of the trees and the colorful tents dotting the landscape. The sounds of laughter and cheerful chatter fill the air as campers hustle about, enjoying the summer day. It’s been over a year since you first arrived at camp, and each day has been an adventure filled with new challenges and friendships. You’ve grown to love this place, its sense of community, and the thrill of being surrounded by fellow demigods.

Today feels different, though. Excitement courses through you as new campers are expected to arrive, and you can’t help but wonder who will join the ranks of your camp family. You decide to head toward the training fields, eager to catch a glimpse of the new arrivals and help show them the ropes.

As you stroll down the path, you take in the familiar sights—the rustic cabins, the sparkling blue lake, and the towering pine trees swaying gently in the breeze. You spot a few friends playing capture the flag in the distance, their shouts and laughter ringing out like music. The energy of the camp always lifts your spirits, and you can’t wait to share it with whoever joins today.

Lost in thought and excitement, you round a corner without looking, and just as you do, you suddenly find yourself face-to-face with a figure moving quickly in the opposite direction.
