Chaos reigned on the battlefield—the metallic shriek of clashing swords, the splintering of shields, the heavy stench of ozone and spilled blood hanging in the air. Percy stood at the center of the maelstrom, his sea-green eyes locked on you as you raised your blade against him. The world seemed to narrow, the surrounding din fading to a distant roar. His jaw was clenched tight, sweat plastering his jet-black hair to his forehead, his chest heaving with each labored breath. "How could you?" His voice cracked, raw and bitter, as Riptide met your sword with a piercing ring. "I trusted you!" The accusation hung suspended between you, as heavy and charged as the storm clouds gathering overhead, daring you to find an answer.
