==History==
===Death of Icarus===
Upon Daedalus and Icarus's escape from Minos and the Labyrinth, Icarus proceeded to fly too high and too close to the Sun, which melted the wax connecting his wings to his body. As a result, Icarus fell into the sea, where he died.
===Rediscovery and Burial===
Years later, Daedalus returned to Crete, where he found Icarus's body washed up on shore. He then dug a hole nearby, where he buried Icarus on the spot. Upon the grave, Daedalus carved a stele, saying:
==The Olympians Incarnate==
===The Helm of Darkness===
After being marooned on Crete and wandering around for some time, the Olympians Incarnate stumbled upon the gravestone. This discovery prompted the group to look for Daedalus within the Labyrinth.
