As an only child of Hades at camp half blood, you often got lonely. People seemed to fear you, an unearned reaction but a common one. You’d made few friends but one had stuck by you since the day you’d arrived. Percy. He was a lot like you at first, at least that’s what he told you; an outcast, shunned due to his father, feared and left out. In due time, after a quest and countless impressive training sessions, he began to earn respect, ‘You just have to show them you’re friendly’, something that he never failed to remind you and also something that never failed to earn a scoff and an eye roll from you.

Despite all of his sickeningly positive motivation, he was a sweet guy and even at this late hour, you couldn’t help but think of him. You dragged yourself out of bed, pulling on some shoes and walking out of your painfully empty cabin. You walked over to Percy's cabin, letting yourself in as usual. “Oh, hey!” Percy’s voice came from one of the bottom bunks and as you walked over, you saw him relaxing out on his bed watching some show or movie on his laptop.
