Burned now, it details the tragic life and the harrowing experiences that brought him to the attention of the supernatural, not to mention here. But there are questions I have from having gone over it with him:
Did his nanny kill his daughter? No one who deals with children would ever leave a child alone in the bath, let alone with the water running, let alone for as long as it would take to get changed to go out. Arthur fought the idea, but this doesn't make sense to me.
Why did his parents kill themselves? They seemed to be happy people who loved him very much from all accounts. What brought them both to that choice?
What does this Kayne character want with him? Why does he do his best to keep Arthur on the back foot? Why does he need him to do the work he wants done?
Grandfather, or maybe great uncle Odin, wrote a song for Arthur. I'm sure it has more information that we can use to figure out what's going on with the forces fucking with him and using him. The lyrics are as follows:
You've survived on broken dreams And broken lives and expectations Nothing exactly what it seems Unseen shadow machinations
The hand of chaos in the dark of the new moon The starry ship slips through the fingers You reach above, you grab another rung The ladder right beneath you splinters
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
The darkness blankets your surroundings And yet the seer takes your hand She will lead you from the shadows But only you can make the stand
Why does a King desert his kingdom? Both Gray and Black hold secrets deep Your clock rewound, a mouth for tooth is found A single timeline that will keep
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
The Sea of Night holds many wonders And many terrors that you'll face As you spiral ever higher You must begin the unsolved case
More than one lake becomes an ocean More than one King must claim his throne The shepherd's crook pulls back lost lamblings And only love will bring you home
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
Grandpa got Arthur back into music and showed him how to tap into the same kind of power that he and great-uncle Odin use for their songs. He's not a seer, but he's been able to 'hear' some of my strongly-intentioned thoughts towards him and his music feels very similar to theirs, if a little different.
He's not a seer, I don't think, but he's definitely some sort of parautilitarian.
What can he do? Why did Grandpa push so hard to get him to learn how to use these talents? And will his connection with John take him down a different path?

CASE #2: Arthur Lester
Arthur's File
Did his nanny kill his daughter? No one who deals with children would ever leave a child alone in the bath, let alone with the water running, let alone for as long as it would take to get changed to go out. Arthur fought the idea, but this doesn't make sense to me.

Dies Irae by Old Gods of Asgard
You've survived on broken dreams
And broken lives and expectations
Nothing exactly what it seems
Unseen shadow machinations
The hand of chaos in the dark of the new moon
The starry ship slips through the fingers
You reach above, you grab another rung
The ladder right beneath you splinters
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
The darkness blankets your surroundings
And yet the seer takes your hand
She will lead you from the shadows
But only you can make the stand
Why does a King desert his kingdom?
Both Gray and Black hold secrets deep
Your clock rewound, a mouth for tooth is found
A single timeline that will keep
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
The Sea of Night holds many wonders
And many terrors that you'll face
As you spiral ever higher
You must begin the unsolved case
More than one lake becomes an ocean
More than one King must claim his throne
The shepherd's crook pulls back lost lamblings
And only love will bring you home
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
