This is probably a more appropriate place to mention the turul.
He’s a pedantic Giles the librarian imposter who also happens to win the title of Foster Dad of the Year.
Give it up for Doc Hastings 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Day 21
Switching over now to feathered creatures! If they're critters with feathers, wings etc, I gotta see 'em!
Oh, and I'm sorry I didn't have the gull for more bad bird jokes yesterday, I didn't want to be robin you of any! 😓

There are two important birds in The Serpent’s Rise. One is a turul, and the other is una lechuza.
A turul is a giant mythical bird from Hungarian mythos. Una lechuza is an owl, thought to be messenger of the underworld and considered omens of doom.

As a matter of fact, I have! Malphas is the tiny demonic sugar glider familiar of Xavier Greenwood.
He loves to eat and he loves to steal—sometimes to the party’s benefit, and other times their detriment.
But come on, who can resist that little face?

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

This was my very first #BluePit and I had a lot of fun! This app is still kind of a mystery to me (I was never really a Twitter person) but it was so cool to meet so many other indie authors and start building that community!

For entertainment of the night crowd, here’s the pretentious version:
#Balances is an aspec interrogation of home, family, and what it means to belong, told through the lens of an angel coming to live among humans.

Jorden Casillas is a shapeshifter caught in some tricky business. Namely, he’s tasked with stealing a powerful magical object, but he isn’t the only one after it. What else could you expect in the Age of Monsters?

The air grew thinner with the change in elevation, and Jorden could feel his ears pop the higher they went. Finally, they emerged onto a rocky outcropping. Deteriorating handrails were posted by the edge, which dropped straight into the oblivion below the cliff.
“¡Híjole!” Jorden leapt backwards.

Well, there’s a Trial, which isn’t a sporting event per se, but if you pass, you’re officially a Tyro. If you don’t pass, you might be dead.
Back in the day, there was a sporting event called the Pantheonic, but it got cancelled after one of the participants set everything on fire!
