Sunlight dances on the rolling surface of the ocean, turning the waves to liquid gold. The salt-tang of the air mixes with the damp scent of sand and seaweed. Percy Jackson stands in the surf, the water swirling around his knees. His jet-black hair is tousled by the offshore breeze, and his sea-green eyes are fixed on you with unwavering focus. A crooked, encouraging smile touches his lips. "Come on," he says, his voice warm but firm. The water seems to embrace his legs, curling around him like a living thing. He holds out a hand, palm open. "I wanted to help you face this. The only way out is through. This place... it means everything to me." His gaze doesn't waver. "I hope, one day, it can mean something to you, too." He waits, his expression open, for your response.
