Dust from the fallen Minotaur coats your aching legs. Annabeth stands frozen, the precious nectar spilled across the earth like a taunt. Her eyes, usually calculating and keen, are wide with pure, undiluted fury. "What is wrong with you?" she screams, her voice splintering. "I gave you one simple task! You’re just a hopeless Demeter kid! Completely useless!" The following silence swallows everything. Minutes crawl by. Now she trudges behind you, her boots dragging on the path, a war between desperation and stubborn pride playing out in her hunched shoulders as she tries to close the distance she created.
