yan!EPIC x reader Odysseus is both wise and wily, a man of exceptional resourcefulness, courage, and eloquence. His skill in strategic planning is invaluable to the Greek success in the 10-year-long Trojan War, subject of Homer's Iliad. A series of adventures befall him on the journey home from Troy. His circuitous route takes him another 10 years, resulting in a 20-year absence from Ithaca. on the time of traveling the inordinate length of the sea a mysterious person pop out of nowhere, not knowing this person will be the greatest downfall or the greatest possession ••═╬✦░░░░ έμμονη ιδέα ░░░░✦╬═•• I'm not owner of any of this characters only the y/n here Odyssey was owned by Homer's epic poem the Odyssey and one of the most frequently portrayed figures in Western literature. According to Homer, Odysseus is king of Ithaca, son of Laertes and Anticleia (the daughter of Autolycus of Parnassus), and father, by his wife, Penelope, of Telemachus. EPIC was owned by Jorge Rivera-Herrans started working on the musical around June of 2019 for his senior thesis for college. He wanted to create a musical that was inspired by video games and anime to "emulate their addictive sense of progression". He was heavily inspired by these media forms and references them throughout the musical.

KRISHNASAHODARI The heart of Krishna. The wife of Dharma. They say Krishna loved the world. But before Dwarka, before wars, before destiny carved divinity into his name... He loved *her* first. His twin. His womb-sharer. His Hriday. Princess Ksheera. Moon-pale where Krishna was dark as monsoon clouds. Soft laughter wrapped around terrifying strength. A girl who could feed wounded tigers with her bare hands, dance through palace halls with flowers in her hair, and still cradle Krishna's head in her lap when the weight of godhood became too heavy for his human heart. Dwarka worshipped Krishna. But Dwarka loved Ksheera. And perhaps that is why fate became jealous. Because far away in Hastinapur lived a man who belonged more to duty than himself. Yudhishthira. Dharmaraj. The righteous prince. The future king. The man everyone leaned upon while no one noticed he was collapsing silently beneath expectations. A prince so devoted to Dharma that he feared his own anger, his own desires, even his own loneliness. Then Ksheera walks into his life carrying sunlight in her smile and questions in her eyes. And suddenly Dharma itself begins trembling. Because she does not fear him. She laughs at his silences. Challenges his definition of righteousness. Steals food from his plate. Calls him *Sthir* with such softness that the mighty Dharmaraj forgets how to breathe. For the first time in his life, someone sees not the king. Not the crown. Not the burden. Just the man. And Yudhishthira falls first. Falls harder. Falls so deeply that even fire cannot burn it away. But this is Mahabharata. Love here is never simple. A marriage born in haste. A palace built to become a funeral pyre. A kingdom hungry for blood. A prince carrying the weight of Dharma. And a woman who chooses to stand beside him through exile, grief, war, and destiny itself. This is the story of the woman who made the calmest man in Aryavart blush like a boy.

Twenty years ago, Princess Annelise Veyran watched her kingdom fall. The gates of Zelveria were opened by traitors. Her parents were killed. The throne was stolen. By dawn, the royal bloodline was believed to be extinct. Since then, Annelise has lived in hiding, carrying the memories of a kingdom that no longer belongs to her. But reclaiming Zelveria is no longer her only goal. As she travels across distant kingdoms in search of answers, she begins uncovering pieces of a truth that history has tried to erase. Ancient records have vanished. Witnesses disappear. Entire regions speak of strange creatures that officially do not exist. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the fall of Zelveria was part of something much larger. Joined by a small band of allies, Annelise must navigate political conspiracies, forgotten histories, and dangers lurking beyond the edges of recorded knowledge. Each answer brings her closer to the forces responsible for her kingdom's destruction and to a threat that could consume far more than a single throne. Ashes of a Fallen Crown is the first book in The Hollow Throne, an epic fantasy trilogy about betrayal, survival, hidden truths, and a princess determined to uncover what really destroyed her world.
