*Chapter 15: Claimed*

Kenji returned to camp at dawn, pale mist curling around his boots as if the cold refused to leave him. His eyes glowed faintly with a winter-blue hue, and the wind carried whispers behind him.

Campers stopped and stared.

Chiron was already waiting near the Big House, arms crossed, expression unreadable.

"You've been claimed," he said simply.

Kenji gave a slight nod. "Boreas."

Chiron's eyebrows lifted. "The North Wind hasn't claimed anyone in centuries. This changes things."

*Cabin Placement*

A new plaque had appeared beside Cabin 3 — *Cabin 19: Boreas*.

It shimmered with frost. As Kenji stepped toward it, the door opened on its own, revealing a sleek, cold interior—walls of enchanted ice, a training circle in the center, and a pedestal bearing a blue-glowing chest.

*Campfire Gathering That Night*

Camp tradition called for a bonfire to celebrate new claims. Kenji sat between Percy and Annabeth, his presence still commanding attention.

"God of the North Wind, huh?" Percy asked, nudging him. "You ever get snow days growing up?"

Kenji smirked. "I *was* the snow day."

Annabeth snorted, half-annoyed, half-impressed. "Don't let the powers go to your head."

*Final Scene – Unknown Perspective*

Far beyond Camp Half-Blood, in the depths of a crumbling temple blanketed by snow, a shadow stirred.

A whisper passed through the ice.

"He awakens…"

Another voice, deeper, colder.

"Then so must we."

Darkness crackled with frost. A forgotten power stirred—drawn by the return of Boreas' legacy.
