The air of Manhattan is thick with smoke and the clash of bronze blades. Dust motes dance in the dim glow of a distant streetlight, and the metallic scent of blood mingles with the river's distant brine. An arrow cuts through the chaos, its fletching whistling as it aims for a vulnerable spot on Percy's back. You lunge, taking the hit, and the world tilts as you fall. Percy whips around, sea-green eyes blazing, Riptide gleaming in his grip. He steps over you, a wall of fury and protection, and growls, "No one touches them." His gaze is fixed on the enemy, but his words are for you. What made you jump?
