So You Want to Be a Hero

Interlude 1: A Red Pantheon's Embrace Content warning: violence, mature language, sexual themes 

A long time ago, when most of our Merry Band of Heroes was but a twinkle in the Goddess Esneas’s eye, five best friends spent the winter holiday break together at the Institute of Inspiration. Left virtually unattended by the school faculty, these carefree students anticipated a few days of mischief-making and merriment before classes resumed. But on the eve of this year's Pantheon's Embrace, something far darker began to stir.
