FireWrath and pain,
Lust, desire,
Molten hot
As dragon fire. Blood that boils,
Skin that burns;
Insides ache,
As passion churns. Hunger driven,
Or heated lust?
Sanity flees
In Banshee's dust. Emerald eyes
A-fleck with flame,
Scales and claws
To rip and maim. Moondrawn madness
Adrift on screams
Insatiable seed,
All lost in dreams... --N. D. Hansen-Hill PrologueThe Trees had stood for many years: harsh sentinels that stirred unreasonable discomfort, even fear, in the hearts of human visitors. These icons marked the boundaries, where one world interacted with another--where the seeds of one dimension throve in a place far from their origin. Some of those who traversed dimensions were also products of two worlds--changelings who had, by fate or folly, incorporated traces of another dimension within their persons; who'd succumbed to a mutation that altered their bodies as much as their outlook. Their new genetic make-up gave them the freedom to traverse the channels between worlds, but frequently alienated them from their own kind. Many of them now found they had more in common with species from other worlds, than their own. The latest victims of this odd mutation are Peter, Trevor, Katy, and Mari. Fairies, gargoyles, and gnomes are but a few of the creatures the mutants have encountered on their journeys, and they realise now that "fairy tales" have more than a little basis in truth. It is only the grimmer of these that they fear, for too many creatures caught in tradition have come close to catching them in fact. The former humans have discovered themselves capable of amazing feats, from healing, to mind-over-matter displays. Some of their abilities have tried them in other ways--and Peter's soul has just been salvaged from an opportunistic wraith, who'd insinuated his way into Peter's tissues. The mutants are beginning to find that many of the positive aspects of their existence are not without cost. They are resting now, and searching for clues to their future. To where they will go, and what they will become. Some of it is decided already--a product of where they have been.
