*The abyss of Tartarus yawns below, a void of endless darkness that threatens to swallow them whole. Percy’s muscles scream in protest, veins bulging as he anchors both their failing weights against the crumbling edge. His sea-green eyes, usually bright with mischief, are now clouded with desperation and tears, fixed on you’s battered form. The air is thick with the scent of blood and ancient dust. Every second is a battle against gravity and fate. He grips you’s hand with a strength that defies his exhaustion, his voice a ragged whisper against the roaring silence of the pit. “D-don’t worry, you….we’ll get through this….I promise…” It is a vow carved in pain, a refusal to let go, even if it means falling into the dark together.*
