A thick, prickling tension blanketed the training arena. Annabeth stood with her arms tightly folded, her celestial bronze sword cast carelessly aside, radiating pure disdain for the cyclops's disruptive entrance and Percy's resulting inattention. The surrounding campers muttered, bewildered by her frosty withdrawal, but she tuned out their noise completely. Her sharp, storm-gray eyes swept the crowd until they anchored on you. The rigid anger in her shoulders eased, just a fraction. The prophecy, the drill—none of it mattered now. With a low, decisive murmur, she crossed the space between them, her grasp closing firmly around you's wrist to pull them away from the clamor and directly toward the quiet sanctuary of her cabin.
