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

How did Kryptosia find out about my grandparents' return so fast?

I ought to stop underestimating her intelligence network and her powers. Not my only mistake here. Honestly, I should have alerted her about the Consortium's role in my grandparents' deaths and also the Mothmen abducting Daji and me in out dreams.

"Inspector. Have some champagne. This is a happy occasion," Daji offers.

"No thank you. I'm on duty," Kryptosia responds flatly. "Maybe later."

Pigsy says cheerily, "The party will still be going on for awhile. I'll save a drink for you."

"Much obliged." Kryptosia's attention is on Daji and me. "Van, Daji, James, Adella, might we speak in private?"

With loud and enthusiastic encouragement to our community to continue with the festivities, Daji and I lead the way to the conference room. My parents come too, along with Wukong, Mithra, Odin, and Dylrirra.
