Van Thomas has just inherited a house from his late grandparents in the countryside and has moved into it--only to realize the house is a rather popular resort that serves all kinds of customers all year round. As the owner and manager of the building, he realizes that the inn caters to an unusual clientele, and has an even more unique staff. His secretary is named Daji. A pirate named Waverly Leviathan with   resemblance to Poseidon often stays. Daji's nephew often stays and calls himself Sun Wukong. A novelist and screenwriter, Athena, is working on a masterpiece. Then there's the CEO named Odin and his twin sons named Loki. Could these mythological connections be more than coincidence?

The Wendigo Inn

After centuries, Umnana handles herself in a cool, sophisticated manner.

"So, you think your little starseed girl is attracted to our Shodfui? Hmmm. Maybe she wasn't such an unwilling--"

I shake my head. "She didn't want to be taken like that. She was just angry, and teenagers--human teenagers--don't always have the best judgment when they're emotional."

Umnana concedes the point. "So I gathered. Her father is not such a good man, I gather. Who with any sense makes a deal with Marduk?"

Relieved that Marduk doesn't seem to have a big djinn fan base, I say, "Her mother is a Lamia--current residence is Elysian Fields, also the Wendigo."

Umnana's eyes darken, and little fireworks pop around her, like fiery flowers. "Her father killed a Lamia? A mythical creature? Horrendous."
