The Breaking Point of a God [Podfic]

Summary:

Watchers were supposed to be worshipped.
It’s their source of powers as minor deities, after all.
Grian, who wanted nothing more than to forget his Watcher past, was quite happy not to be worshipped at all.
So when the Hermits collectively started praying to Xelqua and Grian started to gain a lot of Watcher magic, it put a real damper on his mood, health, self-perception and his relationships.
With Mumbo gone off-world, it was now up to Scar, Pearl and Xisuma to worry about him –
If Grian would let them.
But Grian was nothing if not stubborn. He’d get through this alone, right?
Right?
