Upon the descent into Ironborn waters, closing in on the first confrontation at sea, Captain Lucrezia Redwyne and her Second, Lord Tirius Rowan pull together their forces upon the deck. Their ship is only one of 200 total war ships and 250 support ships, meant to supply medical refuge and transport their people to land.
“My good people,
There are those that will swear us to be infected by madness to sail into the Kraken’s clasp. To that, I tell you, tell them we are empowered, by patience. Our ancestors, those of Rowan, Florent, Oakheart, Redwyne, Tarly, and the mighty Hightower - tell them they stand with us in this moment, as they too have had waited a thousand years for what it is the Gods have blessed us with this day. Their suffering, is to be our blessing - it is our right!
Tell them those krakens forgot to rip us out from the root and the stem; and here we are, a thousand years later. Here to make them regret it within the reckoning we have so long awaited; the reckoning they sealed for themselves. Tell them we are less the snake hidden among the flowers, but the cobra rising to watch our enemy in the eye as we hoist our colours high.
And should we perish here, then know we will not be the last. Know we are the seeds that have been planted, for the time will come, even after we have long since turned to dust. Know we will have perished with those I would lay my very life for - your blood. Your kin. We will die in body, but our legacy will only be the beginning for them - never shall we die.
Do you understand me? The time has come. I will never hears the bells of the Arbor ringing again. Oldtown will never again find themselves at odds with the monsters that hide within the sea. We will never hear of raids upon our brothers and sisters on the Shield Islands again. It will be ours. History has it’s eyes on us; and never shall we did. Show them. Show them - We. Too. Do. Not. Sow.
And by orders of the King, bury the fuckers in land. May the Gods bless us and bring us victory.”

percy jackson is basically that one guy who was ugly as a kid, but then went though puberty and got super hot, but still thinks of himself as ugly
except he was never actually ugly. he’s just insecure as fuck for absolutely no reason. cause everyone else thinks he’s got the immense power and good looks of a literal greek god, and yet he’s always beating himself up for things he can’t help, being ashamed of his downfalls, can’t understand why people love him, and doesn’t realize when people hit on him becasue he doesn’t even think it’s a possibility that someone could be attracted to him
anyway i feel like annabeth knows this. and she gives him a lot of hugs. and even more kisses. because percy deserves all the hugs and kisses in the world
