It was dark - Percy was deeper in the ocean than he usually went down to. It felt.... different. Something was off. He walked on the compressed sand at the sea floor over to a chasm - one he'd never seen. He tread water over it, squinting down into the darkness. He breathed calmly - did something just move?- He looked down, but his heart raced in his chest. What - what if some monster was down there?

Oh.

He was scared. A feeling of fear crept up the back of his neck - a feeling he'd rarely felt while in his own domain. A son of Poseidon, afraid while in water? That was pathetic. To Percy, At least.

He felt a presence, a familiar one. His sibling - also a child of Poseidon - hovered beside him, a little above. They tilted their head at him, eyebrows raised.
