The half-bloods fall into a restful sleep, believing that the enemy in their midst has been thoroughly banished. But in the darkest part of the night, several are awoken by a deep lowing emanating from the woods. Retrieving their weapons of celestial bronze, they peer out into the dark, but are unable to see the source of the sound.
All of the sudden, a dark creature charges into the light of the cabins. Half bull, half man, and wielding a fearsome axe—the minotaur. The campers scamper out of the path of its charge and surround it. It swings its axe, felling one demigod, while the others close in, slaying the beast.
The fallen hero is rushed to the big house, where his wounds are dressed, but he has several crushed ribs; he was hit with the flat of the axe, and was spared being hewn in two. The healers from cabin 7 work through the night, feeding him nectar and ambrosia, but it is not clear if he will make it through the night.
The other demigods are reluctant to return to their cabins, and sleep fitfully. Come morning, the campers assemble at the dining pavilion for breakfast, and Chiron announces that the wounded hero is recovering, and should be able to rejoin them mid-morning today, provided he abstains from any strenuous activity.
The half-bloods are relieved at the news, but nobody says what everybody is thinking: Multiple demigods among them—at least two, but perhaps several—have sworn fealty to Kronos and will continue to endanger the residents of Camp Half-Blood from within.
