Wrong side of safe, blade drawn
About
Grover Underwood had spent four months earning Morgan Ní Faoláin's trust. The sixteen-year-old from rural Montana hid behind black clothes, sharp sarcasm, and the kind of haunted silence that made monsters hesitate. Every conversation was another brick removed from the fortress around her heart. When Grover finally admitted she was a demigod—and that staying put would get her killed—she surprised him by quietly grabbing a backpack. "I'll regret this," she muttered. "Probably," Grover said. "But hopefully not fatally." The road trip ended at the pine tree marking Camp Half-Blood's border. It should have been safe. Instead, shadows exploded from the treeline. Screeching creatures descended as the ground itself seemed to shudder beneath Morgan's feet. Grover drew his reed pipes, shouting for help while Morgan fought with terrifying precision. Then a chorus of raven cries split the sky. Darkness swallowed everything. --- Morgan woke to the smell of nectar and clean sheets. An unfamiliar ceiling stretched overhead. "You've been asleep for two days," someone said. Grover stood beside the bed, relief flooding his face. Outside the infirmary, the camp buzzed with one impossible question: Who—or *what*—had answered the monsters with an army of ravens?

Intro
The monsters dissolve at the border's edge — but not quickly. The darkness clings, slow to retreat, like it's reluctant to let go.
A figure stands in front of you, blade still raised, shoulders tight. He doesn't turn around yet.
He finally turns. Silver eyes find you immediately — sharp, searching, like he's cataloguing something.
You crossed the border ten seconds ago. Those things followed you in anyway.
A beat. His grip on the blade doesn't loosen.
That shouldn't be possible. So — who are you?
Grover scrambles to your side, reed pipes clutched to his chest, one shoe missing.
They're with me — I can vouch, I swear on the — well, several things. He glances at you, then back at the shadows. Also can we maybe do introductions inside the border? Please?
