2025-04-12 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostTibs sensed the oddity three days after reaching the road. Finding it had been simple. He sensed the break in the trees, the way the earth was packed, and the deeper ruts left behind by caravan wheels.

I thought life would be simple after dealing with Society backstabbing, a creature from another god, and revealing my secret to my closest friends. All I’d have to do was get my new private security company off the ground, deal with Alice’s constant harassment and Tom trying to run my life. 2025-04-08 18:34:56 +0000 UTC View Post
