AN: Because of my best friend's interest in Greek mythology, I've decided to do a Greek mythology AU for my favorite anime of all time! Here's the catch: do not expect weekly updates. School is starting up soon and for sure I'll be flooded with homework and projects by then. That means I might not revisit this fic in a while. Anyway, since Killua is the main protagonist in this fic it will be told from his point of view! I really hope you enjoy the prologue and don't forget to R&R if you did!
Greece... Where do I even begin with this place? Philosophy, democracy, drama, arithmetic, festivals, the ruins of Athens, beaches, islands. Anything else to add, folks? Basically it's the ancient civilization in a nutshell, several of the things that it's known for.
Oh right. Its mythology too. Of course, I shouldn't have left that out. Every person on Earth should at least have some basic knowledge on the subject. Some aspects of it are even featured in businesses and special man-made objects. That includes the Japanese camera company Olympus, named after Mount Olympus obviously, and the Apollo spacecraft, named after the sun god himself.
So, why am I rambling about Greece in the first place? It's complicated. I guess you can say I once held strong connections to the gods and goddesses. Let's put it this way: The following story that you'll hear soon will bring you very mixed feelings. There will be moments that inspire you, anger you, warm up your hearts, and especially make you break down into tears. This story is realistic, deep, and is similar to what we've all experienced as people. This is a story about not just Greek mythology, but also family, friends, trust, love, hardships, and discovery. This is a story about me, a young boy who has learned to be more human.
