- Five strangers: a wizard, a knight, a banshee, an elf, and a stone golem. - One quest: locate the lost island of Aunios and retrieve a legendary dark magic weapon. - One problem: They don't get along. The wizard, Llyr, works in the library and has no experience in the field. The knight, Triskell, has terrible people skills. Nemo, the banshee, has talent but doesn't seem to care about anything. Rose, a blind elf, uses magic to heal but needs constant protection. A nine-foot-tall chunk of granite, Gabe the golem has lots of muscle but little brain. Their quest is difficult enough, but the real challenge is learning to work as a team. When the quest takes an unexpected turn, the fate of the entire kingdom may depend on how well they can get along.

Part fantasy novel, part memoir, part therapy. This somewhat odd and experimental novel follows Sean Browning and his imaginary dodo on fantastical adventures through his mind as he battles his real-life depression by battling robots, messing with sea creatures, hiding from giants, and tangling with many more funny, sad and poetic beasts and beings. Most of which represent various things in his life or parts of himself. *The length of each chapter may be a bit long for Wattpad, but each one is it's own adventure (or story or episode if you will). More chapters will be added over time. IMPORTANT NOTE: Chapter two was written a few years before I started my other title on Wattpad "I Don't Seem So Bright..." I bring this up because chapter two is ABOUT the other story. In fact it is what ushered in my desire to keep writing about that world. It gives a history to the other book.
