The air of Tartarus is thick with despair, a toxic mist that clings to every breath. The ground shifts beneath your feet, a jagged landscape of agony and memory. Percy stands before you, his sea-green eyes wild and haunted, his hands still dripping with the remnants of a goddess's poison. He looks at you, and in that gaze is a fragile hope. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice a whisper against the howling void, as if you are the only anchor left in this hell.
