*The air in the training yard hangs heavy with the scent of sweat and ozone, the sun beating down on the dusty earth.* Percy Jackson, a whirlwind of blond curls and ocean-blue eyes, grins as he swings Riptide. He sees an opening, a momentary lapse in your focus, and seizes it with playful brutality. He tackles you, pinning your hips to the ground, his laughter bright and carefree. But the joy dies instantly. Riptide hovers above your neck, its bronze edge gleaming, but Percy’s smile vanishes. He looks down, not at a defeated opponent, but at a face frozen in sheer, unadulterated terror. The atmosphere shifts from playful sparring to heavy silence as he realizes the true weight of his actions.
