## Plot

In the tranquil Cyclades Islands, Diana enjoys a retired life as the world basks in harmony. Her peace is short lived as Phobos, the God of Fear, seeks retribution for his father Ares' demise. Summoning Decay, a deathly creature born from the essence of Phthisis, Phobos traps Diana in the Labyrinth of Tartarus. As he and Decay journey to the forsaken Mount Olympus in search of the Golden Fleece, Diana embarks on a quest that leads her to her long-lost brother, Hercules. United in a desperate race against time, they must locate their father's Thunderbolt, escape the clutches of Tartarus, and prevent the resurrection of the all-powerful Kronos.
