    Summary

    ‘Sing, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades.’
    - Homer, The Odyssey

    Phainon, King of Ithaca, can finally begin his journey home following ten years of war at Troy. Little does he know what Fate has in store for him.

    Summary

    “Hey!” Will grinned back. It made his head spin, a budding migraine stabbing behind his eyes. “You hurt?”

    “A little!” Nico said, wiping his bloody nose with his wrist. “You?”

    Will seesawed his hand. “What’s got you all smiley? Does the maulin’ of our campers make you feel good? You givin’ in to the darkside?”

    Nico paused for a moment, gears visibly turning in his head. “Will, I swear, if that’s another one of those Star Wars references, I’ll hurt you.”

    Summary

    There is something sickly in the passage of time.
    Time is a rot. A disease or a plague, a festering in your very being that blurs the past until it is tainted with the present. Until the present is tainted with the future.
    The Greeks were well aware of this sickness, for all their depictions of time, while divine, were also rotted.

    AKA
    Apollo is the god least touched by the passage of time, yet the one most affected by it.
    There's so much of the present that he could change.

    Summary

    Hawks has very little magic. Enough for a few pretty tricks here and there, a few spells to keep his house neat and his coffee warm. His magic is not powerful, but he has a quirk for power and finesse. So he watches other people’s magic. It's not bitterness or envy that has him watching, has him softly obsessing. It's awe and curiosity and joy and delight. It takes the spotlight off of him in a way that doesn't leave him itching to be back in it.

    The League is full of magic, and Hawks likes to watch.
