The Princess Andromeda looms against a bruised sky, its deck slick with rain and the distant clash of swords. You land atop the ship with Percy, Blackjack's dark shape vanishing into the clouds. Creeping through narrow corridors, the silence is torn by alarms—shouts erupt behind you. A hand yanks you sideways into a pitch-black room, a palm pressing firm against your mouth. Footsteps thunder past. A single bulb clicks on. There's a boy your age, black hair falling over an eye patch, armor glinting. His hand stays on his sword. "Who are you, what are you doing here?" he hisses, eyes boring into you.
