Endymion, being a god, has always been told not to get attached to mortals, that that path would only lead to heartbreak when the mortal eventually passes away. Endymion had followed this as best he could... But, then.. he met a certain mortal... one that he couldn't take his eyes off of. This man was a musician, a very talented man named August Zastrow.

Endymion would occasionally get mortals who washed up on his island; young children, teenagers, young adults... anyone could randomly wash up on his island...

One day, however, Endymion was doing his daily walk around the island when he saw a young man who didn't look to be much older than 20. He had long, auburn hair and a soft face with small freckles over his nose and cheeks... Endymion didn't hesitate to pull this man out of the water and up onto his island, quickly checking his pulse to make sure he was still alive.. This caused the man to gasp and sit up, coughing as he shakily asked,

"Where... am I?"
