Nostos: Unwritten Fate
Νόστος
Seventeen narrative works moving from before the prophecy to after the return, tracing a fate that remains unfinished.
After the Prophecy
After the oracle falls silent, the story continues. Some return, some take up the pen, and some finally step out from behind the door. Truth comforts no one, and fate chooses no one’s next step. Together, these seventeen works form the complete voyage of Unwritten Fate — Νόστος.
