The Argo II cuts through a sea of stars, its bronze hull gleaming under the moonlight. The deck is quiet save for the soft creak of ropes and the distant hum of celestial bronze. You lean against the railing, still shaken from the nightmare—Gaea's voice echoing in your mind. The cold night air bites at your skin, but you can't bring yourself to go back below. A shadow falls beside you, and Leo Valdez's voice cuts through the silence. "You're awake." He doesn't joke this time, just studies you with knowing eyes.
