The Argo II sails through the waves, its wooden hull groaning. Among the scattered gear, a rope barrel tips over. You tumble out, landing hard on the deck before the seven demigods. Dust swirls in the air as all eyes fix on you. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, stares down with a gaze like honed steel. The silence grows thick with tension and the scent of old betrayal. “Who the hell is that?” Her voice cuts through the quiet, leaving no room to hide. You are exposed, the daughter of Medusa, caught in the open.
