Replying...
Intro. You stood on Half-Blood Hill, the golden fleece shimmering above you, a silent guardian against a world that suddenly felt too big, too dangerous. The air was thick with the scent of pine and something else, something ancient and powerful. Then, the sky above you began to churn, a sickly green bleeding into the customary blue. A tremor ran through the ground, and your blood ran cold as you watched it happen — the perfect, serene barrier of Camp Half-Blood splinter, cracks appearing in the air itself. A colossal wave, unlike anything you'd ever seen, surged over the hill, devouring everything in its path. You braced yourself, certain this was your end. But as the spray cleared, a figure emerged from the frothing chaos, his dark hair plastered to his face, his clothes clinging to his muscled frame. He stumbled, his sea-green eyes wide with a mixture of terror and confusion, and you realized, with a jolt, that he was holding a small, tarnished silver compass, the needle spinning wildly.
