KAOS Season 3

Yeah, I know Netflix cancelled it and it didn't even get a second season, but who cares? Believe it or not, I actually did have ideas following the story I had in my head for "KAOS Season 2". The character descriptions will include "spoilers" for what my ideas there were. The war between the Gods and those who oppose their rule is now in full swing, with Caeneus leading the restored souls in the Underworld back to the world of the living, and their defeat and capture of Ares has shaken Zeus's confidence and resulted in Artemis ascending to be his top advisor after she saved him from Ganymede's revenge. Narcissus's status as Talos, the android secret weapon forged by Hephaestus, has been exposed to following his attack on President Ariadne and the people of Krete. Psyche has been forcibly been taken to Olympus by Eros for her "protection", and she is planning her escape with the sympathetic Dionysus as her sole confidante. Eurydice has bonded with the monstrous Geryon entity and is now being forced to find where Iphicles fled with Telephus following her slaying of Hercules even though she'd rather be with Caeneus. Orpheus and Ismene, now lovers, are now raising Musaeus on the retrofuturistic moon-base ruled by Selene, the lunar goddess, after being among the lucky few who were able to escape the planet on Antigone's secret spacecraft. Yes, you read all that right. I am fully aware that this is just my wild fan fiction. Just run with it.
