Suggested by jeanpaulvalley
Shortly after the events of "Mythological Island", Echidna and her childhoods rejoined their native country, from which they had been kept away for far too long : Greece ! There, they demand justice for what they have recently suffered and want to have what was stolen from them returned, but the Greek army attacks them, causing a real war. However, the "monsters" never attack civilians, let alone children, which does not help to justify the intervention of the American army on Greek soil. Things take a turn for the worse when the "monster" family finds one of their own, nicknamed the Cyclops King, to whom they return a Magic Horn, which he uses to awaken his army of thousands of Cyclops ! In America, a mysterious businessman named James Ikol leads a campaign to end the war and find a quiet place for Echidna and her family, but he must face a massive barrage of conservatives who want to eliminate the monsters ! However, Ikol will form a team and, guided by another survivor of ancient times, the wise Chiron, decides to find the ancient Labyrinth of Daedalus, where would be enough to end the war. But from now on, no matter what, the world will never be the same again...
