Feel free to DM me, ask questions, tag me ect :) I am happy to be tagged in tag games and get asks about my blorbos.
Well, for starters, my name is Orion, I'm a trans non-binary Writer, I have a college degree in humanities that i will probablynever use. the stories of my funky little characters spend most time rent-free in my head while i was in classes so it is a wonder I graduated. I am a libra for those that this interests. I've got an interest in everything from all different spirituality and religion to psychology, sociology, and well... anything, really. Although my biggest interest are language and sociology.

First draft done, onto editing :)

Now for Atlas start a journey of uncovering who they are, who their mother was and where is the place they keep dreaming of.

The sorcerers of Avalon are working to find everyone that can use magic on Earth to offer to transfer them to Avalon. Atlas, a 24 years old college student, knows nothing of the magic at their fingertips. How will their choices change the fate of Avalon? How will a deal sealed in old magic come back to haunt Avalon?
