"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. 

In those moments, he almost felt human."
*

For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't.

16 parts Complete

Myrrh could only remember so far back in time, her memory becoming a blur of her life before being placed within the stone walls of the garden she resided in. Her former friend, Apollo, keeps her company in secret until he slips up one night and Myrrh begs him to stay. Instead, he whisks her away to his world of Olympus and is soon entangled within conflicts between jealous and vengeful gods, seeking out the light Apollo placed within her soul to keep her alive, a portion of the sun. As she's swept up into the unknown world of her past, will her memories finally return to her with the help of her former friends, as she navigates the peculiar realm she is now within, while also dealing with grief and even feelings of love for the people she cares for?
