The Thrilling Adventures of the Secluded Man - M. Scott Smallwood - Bog

The Golden Lion: an enchanted relic comprised of three fragments. One held by a recluse, Clyde, and the other by his arch-nemesis, Crazy Eyes. Crazy Eyes uses the magic of his piece to go back in time to prevent Julius Caesar's assassination. Clyde and his friend, Arnold, go back to stop him but collectively alter the timeline even further. An oracle explains to them that they must put aside their differences and work together to find the third piece and reassemble the Golden Lion to reverse their mishaps, but when they return to the present day, the world is completely different from when they left.
