Summary
It's been six months since Arthur broke. Six months since Kayne forced him into Hastur's service, on threat of Faroe's life.
Arthur's sanity may be shaky, but that hasn't hurt his skill. A musical talent like his is rare, even in the Dreamlands, and he's gaining a reputation.
Unfortunately, in the Dreamlands, attention is not a good thing to earn... especially when his owner has made it clear that Arthur is fair game.
