Whence Comes the Owl

#IllustrationOfTheDay This illustration is derived from the cover of book #5, "The Owl from Oblivion". Below it is a poem from the book related to it.

Quote from Syon in Draft 6

#QUOTD From Syon in draft 6 of Book #5, "The Owl from Oblivion" {

Syon frowns momentarily as he thinks, “I wish you were still my dad on the other timeline. From a being of infinite power and love to Leonard, a being of infinite hate… I am truly like a fallen angel—I have fallen from being the creator of fate to become its victim.”

Syon is comparing his dads: the one on the supernatural timeline vs. the one on the reality timeline that beats him.
