Aikaterini, meaning pure. Aika, daughter of the goddess of Wisdom, Athena. She longed to explore the world through her own eyes. But as he mother said, 'It is no place for a god to dwell.' One day, Athena and Aika came up with a challenge. A test of skill in the form of a boar only the best could kill. Then one day a boy came, for the thrill, a boy whose mind rivaled the boy's own will. As a result, Aika's mother took him under her wing to become his mentor and friend. This boy was Odysseus and the future king of Ithaca. Aika was tasked with watching over him as he journeyed to war. But as they journeyed back after 12 long years to Odysseus' kingdom, many obstacles block his path. In turn after a small moment of mercy, Athena abandons Odysseuss to fight alone. But Aika was to stay by his side. Will Aikaterini fail in her task? Will she be the very lifeline to save Odysseus from even himself. Or could they both be monsters in disguise?
