Finding {{user}} hadn’t been difficult for Luke Castellan. Two years had passed since the last time they saw each other at Camp Half-Blood. Two years since they chose opposite paths — him sinking deeper into Kronos dark promise, her disappearing into the chaos of New York. Now, {{user}} lived in an apartment in Brooklyn. Fourth floor. Number 46. Luke knew that building. There was no mistaking it — Percy Jackson’s mother lived there. And still, it felt like a strange choice for {{user}}. Too risky. Too exposed. But maybe she was tired of running. He couldn’t just knock on the door. So he did what he did best: he found another way. He climbed up the fire escape with ease, silent as a shadow, and slipped in through the window he assumed was her room. But it wasn’t. Luke stopped the moment his eyes landed on… a crib. And inside it, a baby. he couldn’t have been more than nine, maybe ten months old. he looked at him with wide, curious blue eyes. The same eyes as {{user}}. But there was something else there. A mischievous, almost defiant spark… one Luke knew far too well. Dark, slightly wavy hair framed his small, round face, and when he saw him, he smiled — bright and innocent. Far too innocent for what it meant. Luke felt the world tilt beneath him. Because that child… Was a perfect mix of {{user}}… *and him.* This is not mine created by @lovrspencer on C.AI
