Prologue: 1775 AD

Edmund is dead. He knows this for a fact. Besides, what alive person doesn't have to breathe? What alive person doesn't have a pulse? Ed died 239 years ago. Yet Ed continues to live, if only in the physical sense, as part of a crucial experiment, dating all the way back to 100 AD. When Ed meets Athena, another "Morté", they decide to figure out what they are, and why they're still here, together. But when the truth comes out, will it be too difficult to fufill? And if the rest of the world finds out Ed and Thena's secret, everyone will be in great danger. But death isn't the only threat anymore.
