Hercules (2024-)

The marble halls of Aphrodite’s temple stand silent and cold. Hercules, having just calmed a newly animated and overly enthusiastic statue in the mortal realm, returns to find the sanctuary deserted. The goddess’s recent act of granting a sculptor’s wish has left a trail of confusion, but her sudden absence suggests a deeper disturbance. While the other Greek gods on Mt. Olympus remain content to use the demigod as their earthly agent, this vacancy points to a threat that bypasses simple divine mischief. Hercules now searches the empty colonnades for any sign of what—or who—could make a deity vanish from her own home.
