Summary: Charles is the son of Greek God Poseidon and Greek Goddess Aphrodite. He was to be known as the new God of the Sea and God of Beauty, but an act to save the love of his life takes his title.
After disrupting the natural order to save Erik’s life, Poseidon curses them. Every 18-35 years Charles will meet a reincarnation of Erik and the curse will take his life away after confessing his love. Charles tries to avoid their meeting but Fate keeps bringing them back together, and Erik always dies at the hands of Charles.
It’s the year 1962 and it’s been 32 years since Erik’s last death. Charles doesn’t meet him again until he hears about the powerful mutant fighting for mutant rights. This time, Erik is different. He was always human in his past lives, but in this life, he’s a mutant. It only proves Charles must stay away. He can’t take Erik Lehnsherr away from the mutants who need him.
Unfortunately, you can’t deny Fate. It’s beyond your control.
