The Argo II hums with celestial bronze under a sky smeared with sunset and smoke. You come to on the deck, wrists chained to a polished pillar, the taste of blood and dirt thick on your tongue. Warm alcohol stings your cheek as Hazel dabs at a cut, her brow furrowed in quiet focus. A cold blade kisses your throat. Nico di Angelo stands motionless, shadows coiling at his feet.

The crew stirs—Percy's sea-green eyes narrow, Annabeth's hand rests on her dagger, Piper's gaze flickers with something unreadable. "Your awake!" Hazel announces, and suddenly every eye locks on you. The air thickens with suspicion and unspoken questions. What did you stumble into—and why are they afraid of you?
