THE STORM WAS loud when Annabeth and I stepped into the infirmary. There he was. Lying in his bed. Annabeth was sure he was the one, but I was still skeptical.

Sure, he killed the Minotaur. But he seemed like a normal guy. And that was not just because I was getting tired of stalking all the new kids that made it to Camp. He genuinely seemed like a normal person.

Plus, when I imagined the one, I would normally picture a person who does not drool on the pillowcases that I had just washed.

The door of the Apollo cabin creaked slightly as I pushed it open. Every one of my siblings' heads snapped towards me.

"How is he?" Will, my youngest (and favourite) brother, asked me.
