Shapeshifter August Shade saved the world. At least, that’s what some folks are saying. According to the rumors, the personal effects repo man bested a vampire, a warlock, and a troll without even breaking a sweat.

I’m a cargo pilot. In the industry, I’m known as a “Freight Dog.” I fly canceled checks and other types of high-value cargo around the country, mostly at night, in airplanes that are older than I am. Flying freight - or “work” as we call it - in small, twin-engine aircraft is a lesser known side of the aviation world. Our day starts when banker’s hours end. Thousands of flights move millions of pounds of work from city to city every night while the rest of the country is asleep.

But it’s the little things that come back to haunt him, small injustices that won’t stay buried.

The Daikaiju - the largest, most powerful creatures in all of creation - are about to make this secret war very public.

Zeus doesn't ask for much. Just for Hermes to deliver his messages, run his errands, obey his every command, and, oh yeah, not to interfere with the Satyroi as they quest to rescue a close friend and retrieve a mystical instrument called the syrinx from Dionysus. So Hermes shouldn't be surprised when Artemis calls in a favor and it involves something Zeus has expressly forbidden him from doing. Multiple times. Within the past 48 hours alone.

A simple task for a god with his skillset, but risking the wrath of Apollo never went well for anyone.
