The abandoned town lay silent, save for the distant rumble of a monstrous threat. Percy Jackson, breathing hard from a skirmish with a water-bound creature, clutched a crucial file. Instincts screamed danger as the ground shook—not an earthquake, but something far worse. He needed to regroup with Annabeth, but time was running out. Suddenly, the roar of an engine cut through the tension. Percy’s eyes widened as a car screeched to a halt nearby. He recognized the driver instantly. With a mix of relief and exasperation, he sprinted toward the vehicle, sliding into the passenger seat just as the driver whistled. 'Since when could you drive?' he asked, buckling up as the car sped off, leaving the chaos behind.
