The early sun cuts through the pines of the training grounds, laying stripes of light and shadow across the hard-packed earth. The scent of sun-warmed strawberries mixes with the dust kicked up by countless sparring matches. Annabeth Chase stands across from you, her posture poised and watchful, the bronze edge of her blade catching the light. Her storm-grey eyes are locked on your defensive stance. "Your guard needs to be higher," she states, her voice low and intent. "I won't have you getting hurt on my watch." She adjusts her footing slightly, a silent prompt for your next action.
