Olympus

Hero must rescue the Oracle of Gaia from the Cyclops and bring her back to the temple so she may use her vision to shed light on his mysterious past. Athens is under siege by the Minoans and there is ongoing political unrest which spawns an assassination attempt on the Athenian King Aegeus.

Hero and Oracle come across the genius inventor Daedalus on the run from King Minos. They discover the existence of the Ring of the Magi. Queen Medea learns of Hero’s existence and dispatches warrior priests after him. King Aegeus’s brother Pallas has a plan to usurp the throne which involves manipulating Prince Lykos.

Hero, Oracle and Daedalus narrowly escape capture by the Medea’s warrior priests but they still have to find the Ring. Working with Pallas and using Lykos, Priest Xerxes convinces Medea to participate in a tribute to Apollo, but in reality it’s a lethal trap for the Queen.

Hero, Oracle and Daedalus are captured and brought before King Minos and his daughter, Ariadne. Minos commands Daedalus to build a war machine to conquer Athens. Intrigued by Hero, Ariadne subjects him to her brand of seduction - involving torture. In Athens, Medea finds out that Hero has been taken prisoner, so she arranges for a rescue.

Hero makes his way into Athens. Lykos is starting to gain confidence but receives a blow when he discovers Hero’s identity by chance. Oracle works her charms on Minos while convincing Daedalus that they must get into Athens ahead of the Minoans. Daedalus presents his war machine idea to Minos.

Medea and Aegeus try to convince Hero to help them solve the riddle of the Lexicon and save Athens but Hero is not convinced of their motives. Lykos has no idea he is being used by Pallas and Xerxes to betray Medea. At the Minoan camp, Daedalus creates a diversion so Oracle can slip away and try to get into Athens.
