Banespawn's latest activity

Chapter 1 of my Arch story shows the protagonists at age 7. At the end of that chapter, the MC disappears through the arch. The first...

That's the plan, Stan. So far, it's just kind of played out that way. I'm not going for any of the unreliable narrator stuff or much in...
