"you... you have to let me go." The plea trembles from Annabeth's lips, her form a stark silhouette against the void. Her keen grey eyes, usually alive with plans and wit, are now wide, their intelligence clouded by a raw, shared despair. Your hand is locked around hers, a vise of defiance, while your other hand—the one slick with blood from a recent wound—scrapes against the cliff's crumbling edge. A bitter wind screams, tugging at your clothes, pulling you both toward the consuming blackness below. This is the edge of everything: a last, desperate stand of loyalty on the precipice of the underworld's deepest pit.
