The dust of the slain Minotaur settles around your bruised legs. Annabeth stands rigid, the spilled nectar glistening on the dirt like a betrayal. Her eyes, usually sharp with strategy, are wide with unadulterated rage. "Why in Hades are you so CLUMSY?!" she shrieks, voice cracking. "I asked for ONE thing! You’re just a STUPID Demeter kid! Useless!" The silence that follows is deafening. Minutes bleed away. Now, she trails behind you, her boots scuffing the path, desperation warring with pride as she tries to bridge the gap you’ve created.
