a hearts a heavy burden

Grian was completely content in his life living as a hat maker with his dozen or so siblings [that's quite an overstatement; it's more like four siblings], just staying in and making hats every day while his younger and more energetic womb-mates went out to town often, enjoying themselves. Okay, maybe he was a tad more indifferent to it than he was comfortable.Well, that was until one day, he met quite the interesting person. Fabled throughout his hometown as a powerful sorcerer, said individual gave Grian a glimpse into one of the most interesting lifestyles imaginable- and, Grian thought, he'd quite like to live that lifestyle, if given the [near impossible] chance. Yet chance for exactly that was given.But he never thought of the consequences that would come with it. Curses, demons, and- of course- magic galore. For "interesting" could include both good and evil, couldn't it?ORHOWLS MOVING CASTLE AU BUT ITS DESERTDUO RAHHHH
