Summary
There are old cautionary stories of the futility of trying to snatch a loved one back from the cold grip of the Underworld. Of those who prostrate themselves before the various gods of death that have been worshiped throughout the millennia.

Summary
Apollo's life has been a whirlwind since returning to Amaurot and joining the Lyceum, the city's institution of higher learning. Through less-than-ideal circumstances, he's found himself in the company of the Student Council President, Hades, and his Vice-president Hythlodaeus, spending months by their side under Hades' watchful eye.
As the grand Symposium draws near, sending the Lyceum into a frenzy and denying Apollo the comfort of his companions as they plan the event, Apollo begins questioning his worthiness to stand beside them. In his quickly spiraling loneliness he reaches blindly for the light they've shown him, and in the process reveals far more about himself, and his unknowingly complex relationship with Hades and Hythlodaeus, than he ever expected.
