<p>Percy has returned to Camp Half-Blood, a training ground for Greek demigods nestled on the northern coastline of Long Island. Under the supervision of the deity Dionysus, affectionately known by the campers as &quot;Mr. D,&quot; and the centaur Chiron, who serves as the head of activities, the camp operates smoothly. Its enchanting perimeters, safeguarded by the Golden Fleece, repel any monstrous entities from breaching the sanctuary. The Fleece, perpetually watched over by the dragon Peleus, casts a protective spell around the camp against any external threats. The demigods reside in a series of cabins dedicated to each one of the twelve Olympian gods, and they convene for meals in the communal dining hall. The camp also boasts facilities such as an archery range, a combat arena for swordplay, a challenging climbing wall that oozes lava, an open-air theater, horse stables, a weapons depot, and the central command structure known as the Big House.</p> <p>Wandering along the shoreline adjacent to the camp, Percy relishes the warmth of the sunlight. As waves gently lap at his feet, a tender smile plays across his face.</p>
