That was Annabeth for you, true to form, that's exactly how Will expected her to use the horizon. A testing ground. Will meanwhile, wanted a place cemented, a play he could recharge, that felt like home. A link to Camp, to who he was.

"Are you safe? In Thorne then? For all it's restrictions? Are they afraid of you or trying to keep you safe?" Were their Summoned in gilded cages for safety....or fear?
