    Summary

    “Oh my gods, Percy. It’s you.” Grover’s hands started patting him down and Percy squirmed in pain and annoyance. “What happened? Percy, what happened?”

    “Hold the questions, Grover,” another voice said, as smaller hands gripped his shirt and started dragging him past the invisible line drawn by the pine tree. Right, Percy thought, the weird cult kids. “We have to get him into camp.”

    Another set of hands joined him and with the extra support he made it into the valley, spotting lights on in a farmhouse in the distance. A small part of Percy registered that he wasn’t getting rained on anymore even though he could still hear the storm raging in the distance. Instead, his gaze locked with a pair of cool grey eyes framed by pieces of blonde curls. “How did you get here? Who is your godly parent?”

    He could hear his mother’s voice echoing in his ears, months and months ago: no one can know, Percy. Even the gods.

    “I don’t know.”

    Summary

    There was a ritual in it, Satoru thought - buttoning up the nicest shirt he owned, freshly ironed with the wrinkleless slacks he only ever took out for that day. He brushed his hair out in soothing, repeated motions. Once, twice, thrice; over and over as he breathed deep and slow. He was a metronome, following the tempo of his anxieties, preparing for the day to come. As he slid his round, blacked-out sunglasses on, he couldn’t shake the feeling something truly terrible was about to happen. He tried to ignore it, hoping he was wrong - that it was just paranoia.
    He’d never been wrong before.
    He knew he wasn’t wrong this time.

    It was like waking up and feeling as though the air had changed. Or how some describe they know a family member has passed before someone breaks the news. Suguru felt like his lifeline had been trimmed. Like something beyond decided that today would be his day. The final step. And his actions hadn’t helped. Since last year he’d stacked the odds against himself, putting ticket after ticket into the reaping for another bag of grain, another piece of meat. It kept them fed, but the cost was coming. He knew. He just did.
