[Poseidon has been sending Percy around the world on a ship to find his bride. He had turned all of them down. Late on the night of his birthday, his shipmates are singing a song about mermaids. Percy stands, looking at the ocean and leaning his elbow on the ship’s railing when he sees something in the water glimmer]

[The sea starts to get darker and more intense as the sky starts to storm up. The ship starts to flood and Percy gets hit on the head and falls in the water as he goes unconscious]
