The House of Mist [Pt.1]

[Prologue] I died. I do not know exactly how, or when, just that I did. But then I came back. Recast in Light by a Traveler’s Ghost. At the time I didn’t know anything, what had happened, where I was. The only hint of my identity was a faded security badge and a sidearm that […]
