Callista is an escaped slave. The numbers on her forearm display that fact clearly to Apollo, the captain of a ragtag crew of pirates- and a captain in the navy. His duty is to deliver her back to the kingdom, but he's interrupted by an unexpected attack.
Callista is introduced to the world of Hadas, classified as "humans with abilities." Being an Hada is a crime against the kingdom, as only the royals are supposed to have magic. Suddenly, she's more than a refugee- she's a criminal. Her presence forces Apollo to pick a side, and not all of his crew mates will agree.

Lost
The experiments unfolded, scattering like fragile shards across the endless islands, their edges softened by time yet never truly lost. Memories unraveled like threads caught in the wind, slipping through grasping fingers, dissolving into nameless tides. And still, one cannot help but wonder-did they ever truly seek to reclaim them? Or were they meant to drift, untethered, between what was and what could have been? In this boundless sea, they remain-specters of something half-remembered, untouched by death, at least for now. But the past is never silent, only sleeping, buried beneath the hush of the waves. Beneath the weight of salt and centuries, echoes stir in the deep, restless and waiting. Forgotten names, forsaken dreams, lingering like footprints in shifting sands, erased and rewritten with each passing storm. Some chase the ghosts of what was, desperate to stitch together a story undone. Others flee, fearing that to remember is to break. Yet no soul can outrun the tide forever. The current pulls, unyielding, toward an inevitable reckoning. And when the sea finally sings their names once more, will they answer? Or will they, too, fade into the whispers of a world that was never meant to remember them? An arcane odyssey fanfiction
