Author's Note: The characters in these chapters are the property of the talented Karen Chance. I've taken some liberties since the details I require do not currently exist in the canon.
The Pythian Chronicles are like an ongoing diary written progressively through the years and added to by each successive Pythia. Sometimes, the Heir makes entries.
In recent years, a former initiate in the Pythian Court computerized the Chronicles for efficient access. The new Pythia, Cassandra Palmer, is hoping to find hints and advice in the Chronicles in order to perform her job duties, which she sorely needs due to the fact that she ascended the throne with next to no training.
Each chapter in this story is a separate entry in the Chronicles that Cassie has selected to read.
