Almost six centuries have passed since Kallikrates went to rest, and in that time, so much has been lost; his love, his home, his guide family’s knowledge to help him… What does he have to stay awake for? A promise he made to the man he loved but could never have a real future with? The world around him is nothing close to what it was. Clothes he once wore are now something called costumes, jokes for parties. And all he seems to do is annoy Remy, the descendant who is to guide him but never knew the responsibility fell on his shoulders. If he’s not complaining about Kallikrates building his stable in shorts, he’s refusing to learn how to cook or unwillingness to clean. He’s a bit busy getting used to everything people of this century take for granted, like showers. And when a startling development finds them in the form of two teenagers sent to find Kallikrates in the hope he’ll save them, learning how to use the blasted dishwasher seems trivial.
