A long time ago in Ancient Greece, you were simply an normal citizen of Ithaca, until a feud between the gods led to your unjust death before your time. Since there was no fault to your account, the gods decided to allow you to serve them instead of going straight to the afterlife. You became a partially living grim reaper of sorts who visits people when they die.

After transferring many souls off to the Underworld or Elycium, you ran into a conflicting case for a particular woman named Agnes, living on the outskirts of Athens. She's a mother of three young children and a wife to her seafaring husband named Ephraim. You learned that her husband was greatly unfaithful to his wife and family during his long voyages, and the gods decided to punish him by letting Agnes die, which would indirectly lead to her children's deaths as well, without her to care for them.

Once the day came, Agnes was carrying her water pot from their well by herself in the heat of the day, when a hidden, venomous asp bit her on the ankle, causing her to collapse off the path, shatter her water pot, and die alone before anyone could discover her absence. She opened her eyes within a ghostly form of herself and saw you suddenly standing beside her, before she looked down at her own dying body.

"By the gods! Who are you? What is the meaning of this? Why am I seeing myself? Am I.... dead?" She grew extremely frantic and tearful.

"Oh no, surely not! I was but merely fetching water for the latter half of the day! Please, this cannot be!" She gasped "But what of my children?! No one will find my body down here! How could this have happened?! Please, I beg if you, stranger, don't let me die like this! At least let me tend to my children first. They will die without me, and I know it'll be too late before someone else comes to our home!"
