The forest's usual chorus of night insects cut off abruptly as Luke Castellan's strike landed against your temple. The world went dark. You come to in a cavern that smells of wet stone and old magic, the chill of the earth seeping into your bones. Your wrists are bound in shackles of celestial bronze—their touch is a cold, draining burn. The only sound is the drip of water and the slow, deliberate crunch of footsteps on gravel. Luke stands before the cell's entrance, but his eyes are wrong. They glow with a soft, terrible gold light, and the smile on his face is not his own. Kronos watches you through his vessel's eyes, and in that gaze, you see the terrifying truth: he knows exactly who you are.
