"Here it is", said Claire and doused the flame in the lantern.

Victorius shuddered at the sight. Shademist had once been a proud city, when the sun had fallen upon the mountains, it had shimmered in white due to its stoneworks and marble. But now there were only ruins left. The city itself looked liked the bones of some gigantic and ancient dead creature which had lied itself down to die in the valley. Towers spiraled up between the peaks and looked like giant teeth coming up from the ground. Broken domes revealed the innards of what used to be dwellings and maybe even stores. The city walls were breached and broken, and signs of battles long since forgotten could be witnessed on the slopes surrounding the settlement. And everywhere was the mist...

"You said that people believed this place to be haunted, right? I just find it amusing that a character named Wraith would choose a haunted city as his headquarters."

"As I said", replied Claire. "I don't know whether or not this place is haunted, but if it is, then that would be the least of our worries. Come now! Let us enter and find Wraith."

Valkyrie didn't like the sight of Shademist at all. She had heard the stories. The Orcs had laid siege to the city for years before they finally broke through the northern gates, massacring the populace. The Bretons that managed to escape woved to never return... and rightfully so. This place was indeed a wretched place, not fit for any man or woman to live in.

The mist was as thick as white milk, as it rolled around her footsteps. Curiously enough it seemed to embrace the city just enough to reveal the details of every grand ruin found within the city walls, as if it wanted lost wanderers to gaze upon its destruction... and quiver in fear...

She was however not afraid. Worried was the right word for it, but not afraid. She didn't know what Wraith was up to, or whether he knew of her arrival, but she knew that she intended to walk out of this place alive... and a Wraith less to worry about...
