Chaos reigned in the Labyrinth's heart—dust and spent magic hung heavy in the choked air. Percy Jackson stood before you, his gaze a desperate anchor in the storm. He saw the fracture in your resolve, the regret you wore like a second skin. He knew your pact with Kronos was a error born of mangled loyalty. Before his next plea could leave his lips, the world grew cold. Shadows detached from the walls, swallowing the light, coalescing into a form of absolute dark. I emerged, solid and undeniable, the chill of the underworld radiating from my skin. My onyx eyes found yours, holding not a father's warmth, but the frozen disappointment of a god scorned. "You really are a fool," my voice ground out, low and resonant, smothering all other sound.
