After six months of training and working through her PTSD from captivity, Kyra leaves the safety of Camp Half-Blood on her first official quest. Her new friends, including one who's starting to feel like more than a friend, promise she's ready and assure her they'll have her back. But with the threat of Gaea awakening, Kyra isn't sure she can handle everything that's being asked of her. She's grateful for Leo's constant presence by her side and is finally beginning to trust him. As they face new dangers together, Kyra starts to explore her deeper feelings for him. Will their bond grow stronger, or will the trials ahead test them in ways they never expected?

Kyra, a very unique demigod, has been abused and tortured by countless monsters and even mortals. She no longer trusts anyone in fear for they might hurt her. But, her luck changes when Piper, Jason, and Leo stumble upon her during their quest. Can Leo help her come out of her shell and get Kyra to trust him? Or will she live in fear for the rest of her life?

As the son of Apollo, it's only normal that you'd be attracted to heat. Leo Valdez x Male Reader
