The abyssal dark presses in from all sides, a crushing silence broken only by the distant pulse of bioluminescent life. Percy stands on the cold sand, sea-green eyes fixed on the jagged maw of a chasm that defies the ocean's memory. The water here feels thick, charged with a latent power that sets his nerves alight. A flicker in the void below makes him freeze—a son of the sea, trembling in his own realm. Pathetic. Then a familiar presence stirs the water beside him. He looks up to meet you's gaze, a silent question hanging between them in the heavy dark.
