*Smoke choked the sky over Manhattan, the air thick with the din of clashing steel and shouted spells. From the shifting shadows, a solitary figure emerged—clothes torn, a weapon held in a white-knuckled grip. The scar of Kronos glared against their skin, a mark that drew fearful stares from friend and foe alike. Percy Jackson stood rooted, his sea-green eyes wide, first with confusion, then with dawning understanding. Kronos sneered from across the rubble, hurling taunts about loyalty and weakness. The demigod didn’t flinch. Step by deliberate step, they walked past the Titan Lord, through the held breath of the battlefield, straight toward Percy. As they took their place beside him, no words were needed. Their presence was the only proof required.*
