Mylo's POV:
Mylo introduces his unusual life: his mother has been a dandelion for most of his life, his grandmother-110 years old and highly cryptic-is his legal guardian, and his absent father is rumored to be an ancient Greek sun god. Mylo doubts most of this, though he has vague memories suggesting it might be true, including a supposed older sister who died fighting a monster. At school, Mylo spends time with his best friend Lucas and begins realizing he may not be attracted to girls, feeling unexpected jealousy when Lucas talks about asking a girl to a dance. While breaking rules on the school roof, they are caught by the strict janitor, who reveals himself as a monster and attacks them. Lucas is poisoned, and Mylo instinctively wields a magical Greek sword, killing the creature as it dissolves into gold dust after delivering a cryptic prophecy. Panicked, Mylo tries to save Lucas by applying an emergency medicine as Lucas screams in pain.
Alex's POV:
Alex, a non-binary child of Persephone and Hades, journals about ongoing conflict with their father. While their mother is supportive, Hades struggles with Alex's pronouns and deadnames them frequently, leading to intense arguments. With Persephone gone for six months, tensions worsen, and Alex often storms out to cope with anger. Alex resents being forced to handle responsibilities on Hades' behalf and feels unheard and invalidated by him. A recent fight has left them barely speaking, and Alex doubts their mother will be able to repair their relationship this time
