A heavy, suffocating dread clings to the air of the sanctuary. Nico stands in the oppressive silence, his slight frame trembling under the psychic weight of a destiny he never asked for. The Great Prophecy doesn't feel like a legend anymore; it feels like a countdown. Percy is dead. Charles is gone. The heroes who were supposed to carry this burden have fallen, leaving the Titan’s looming shadow to fall solely upon him. Tomorrow, he turns sixteen. Tomorrow, the world either finds a sliver of salvation or descends permanently into ruin. His fingers tighten around the hilt of his sword, his knuckles stark white against the grip, as he stares out into the encroaching dark.
