[The car is seen with the lights on, driving down a road.]

Grover: My job has been to guide you to this moment.

[We see Grover sat in the back seat of the car with Anthea, Percy sat in the passenger seat of the car whilst Sally drives.]

Grover: It's always an emotional rollercoaster for a young demigod, so providing a support system is really-

Percy: Who are you?

Gover: I'm Grover. I'm your best friend and-

Anthea: What are you?

[Grover slowly pulls off his hat, allowing his hair to be seen and that's when Anthea and Percy spot the two horns on his head.]

Grover: I'm a satyr. And I'm your Protector.

Anthea: You're our Protector?

Grover: Percy, If I hadn't gotten you kicked out of school, you'd never survived the night. And what's chasing us now would have found you there easily. I'm sorry.

[Anthea turns her head out of the window to watch the rain whilst Percy faces the front of the car again.]

Grover cont.: Usually, I can sense danger coming a mile away, but this time... Well, none of us saw Dodds coming.

Percy: [turning to look at Grover] So you knew. That thing that Dodds turned into, you saw it happen? Why didn't you say anything?

Grover: I saw some of it. The Mist kept her hidden even from us until it was too late.

Percy': Mist? What's a mist?

Anthea: [still looking out the window] The Mist. It's the veil that hides the magical world from the human world.

Grover: Anthea's right. My legs. Dodds' wings. Even Dodds' absence, but it isn't supposed to hide things from me. That never happens. Something powerful is at work here. The sooner we get you both to camp, the better off you both- You told them about camp, right?

[Grover turns to Sally as he asks the question.]

Sally: Not yet no.

Grover: Camp is a sanctuary for half-bloods. A safe space where you can learn who you are and what the world is like on the other side of the Mist. Uh, it's not far, actually, just a little way past the bend up there.

Anthea: [leaning towards her mom] Mom, what else haven't we talked about?

[Sally looks between Percy and Anthea through the rear-view mirror.]

Percy: What else haven't you told us?

[A light is seen behind them as a streetlight explodes and something begins to charge up behind them. Anthea looks at it in shock.]

Anthea and Percy: Is that the Minotaur?

Grover: Once the attacks start, they never let up. Okay? Dodds was just the beginning. He is next. He- he is brutal. He is relentless.
