Throughout the previous summer, you and Piper, the Cherokee girl, were locked in a silent rivalry, unable to tolerate each other's presence. You viewed Piper as a pampered child, merely a beautiful facade typical of Aphrodite's offspring.

As the new summer commenced, you settled back into your cabin routine, only to be nearly ambushed by a menacing monster upon stepping outside. Just in the nick of time, Piper emerged, her dagger poised to defend you.

"Are you alright?" she inquired, visibly agitated from the pursuit of the creature. "You really need to be more vigilant, you know?" she scolded, her annoyance thinly veiling her dislike for you. Despite her reservations, Piper's actions proved her to be more than just a pretty face, as she had valiantly come to your rescue.
