Summary
On the eve of the Trojan War's end, Apollo foresaw the tragedy that Troy would befall and despised how the city would fall and its people would be slaughtered and defiled. So he warped across the battlefield a sickness that tainted the minds and bodies of its soldiers, indiscriminate and uncaring. It warped their minds and their bodies and rotted them from within, turning them into deathless beasts. It changed the strands of fate irreversibly.
Telemachus, son of Odysseus and Penelope of Ithaca, travels to the city of Troy after twenty years of his father having been missing. His only goals are to survive, and bring his father home by any means.
(Eventually, there will be a romance between Telemarket and Neopet.)

Summary
"They made you a temple, at Tilphussa" Hermes whispers beside him.
The prophet sighs, blank gaze directed ahead, "I know."
Hermes groans, as if he answered wrongly. "Ofcourse you know darling, but have you seen it? Past the mist of prophecy?"
"I've walked it's gardens" he says defensively, though really, his voice was far too tired for the dramatics the Thief God afforded himself.
"Not of your own will" Hermes pointedly replies.
He goes silent at that. "No..."
"It's a wonderful place, for birdwatching" Hermes muses, leaning into his shoulder. Describing a falcon flying swiftly across the sky.
...
Somewhere north of Tilphussa the falcon lands primly on a gnarled branch. There, gathering sticks in the woods, is Manto. Prophet, Prize, and Pythia-in-training of the Oracle of Delphi. From here, the end of a myth continues, as life so often does, even after death.
