Completed Gathering Mists

Hurik materializes in the City of Illusion... He's dead, but he can't quite remember why.

Considered one of the most mysterious cities in Mizahar, Alvadas is called The City of Illusions. It is the home of Ionu and the notorious Inverted. This city sits on one of the main crossroads through The Region of Kalea.

74th of Winter, 516 AV

Madeira answered his questions, and Hurik nodded to himself. His mists swirled lazily about his amulet and he could tell from the dimming of colour in the sky that the lights were going out one by one. And yet, people were coming out and lighting lanterns which made the street glow just as brilliantly as the setting sun had.

"There's not much to know. You've got my name, and pretty much anything else I could tell you, you've been present to witness. Really, it's you who has the knowledge here, seeing as you've probably dealt with people like me plenty."

Hurik felt a pique of curiosity, and he pulled at it. "So what exactly do you do, Miss Grown Woman? Or do they pay you to talk to misty men such as myself on nice evenings?"

While he waited for an answer, Hurik felt his mists tangling painfully. It was as if his chest were caught in a doorway and he was being pressed into the doorframe. He moved forward past Madeira and felt the sensation lessen. It seemed as though he should move, or at least that was what his instincts were saying. A deep part of him, ingrained maybe even since he was still young and full of life, was urging him onward. He turned back toward Madeira, and shrugged half-heartedly.

"I think that my mists have gathered, pale beauty. Where shall we meet again, and when? I have some..." Hurik chuckled, "Soul-searching to do tonight."

Gathering Mists

Madeira laughed, and pressed her hand to her chest as the brewing soulmist rippled in the cavity. “They pay me to keep misty men like you out of trouble, Hurik.” She would not tell him of the lengths she has had to go, or the kind of ‘misty men’ she had met.

Suddenly he was moving past her and away. People parted as he stepped back into the crowd. She studied his form, and the way his mist moved through him. What was he looking for?

He turned back to her with a half-hearted shrug. Some instinct was telling him to move on. He wanted to see her again, too, and needed to know where to find her. Her heart buoyed with confidence. He was going to see her again. He was going to let her help him!

“Meet me at the Craven manor.” she nodded. “You’ll know it when you see it. When you’re there ask for Madeira.” her voice suddenly took a harder edge. “Speak to no one but me.”

She could not risk her family deeming his wild mood swings and delirium as dangerous. They might decide to take his proper death into their own hands. And secondly, she couldn’t risk them usurping her potential servant. All their skills outclassed her own, as did the quality of their soulmist. If they wanted him, they would take him from her.

“Here, before you go-“ she brought a hand to her lips a second time, and pulled away a shimmering handful of soulmist. She pressed it to his form and backed away.

“Take care of yourself, Hurik.” she smiled for him, and gave a little wave, before turning her back and continuing down the street. She was sure she had just made an ally that night.

Sensing ghosts usually falls under expert spiritism, but I can see Madeira slowly getting there, especially since it started out as a vague feeling here.

Thanks for this amusing thread! It's nice to see Madeira laughing for a change, and Hurik coming into contact with the world for the second time was lots of fun.
