Story
Something stinks in ancient Greece, and it's not just the Kraken sea beast.
Great cities wage war. Mythological monsters terrorize the land. The gods of Olympus squabble while heroes of legend suffer identity crises and skip out on their lunch tabs.
Meanwhile, a boy washes up on the Island of Crete. He doesn't remember how he got there or even who he is. He soon meets companions with equally murky backgrounds. He learns he is immortal, and his new friends are too. It's almost as if this group is somehow linked by fate...
Who are they? Why do they live forever?
Immortality loves company, so the group sets off on a quest for answers. They begin their long trek towards Olympus, home of the gods. Seems as good a place to start as any...
