Bryani House, the Mists

Here and there from his vantage point in the front doorway, Trueblood could catch a glimpse of gray-green foliage where the vapor thinned, but for the most part the fog was solid. It reminded him of the flank of an immense animal, breathing in and out.

For an immeasurable time he had existed, torn asunder, within the Mists. Jaelle and the rest of his kin shattered him, damn their eyes, but the Mists held him helpless and disembodied when he otherwise might have restored himself.

And then he had restored himself, drawn by the thoughts of others in places touched by the Mists, following their voices like echoes down a corridor until he found Robarts’ mind, ripe with insanity and despair.

Could it be that once he’d found Robarts and his dominion, this place where an ancient, archaic world was rebirthing itself from the stones of its foundation, that the Mists themselves released him?

Robarts’ world, with its machines and great engines. Its empires, creeping across land and sea. Warrens and alleyways, teeming with humanity, where life was as nasty, brutish, and short as any place where bloody Nature ruled. Cathedrals, where people tied to earth by their own mortality dreamed of heaven. It was a fascinating place, at once attractive and repulsive.

It suited him. He would make it his own.

Trueblood drew closer to the vaporous wall, drawn to it in spite of himself. Everything he’d read, everything he’d learned told him the Mists did nothing without a purpose.

What did they want with him?
