Ilios is the real boss of Val’s Place. He is Val and Tylene’s son and the protege of the magical land. This little prince works all day in the field (xorafi), is always doing work, and never stops running outside. He loves the ocean, tractors, motorcycles, and his cat, Peesperini. You don’t want to let him catch you sitting on the job, he will not be shy to tell you “do work!”. He is the reason it is always sunny at Val’s Place!
