Autumn arrived fast and relentless, breaking through the vernal grip summer held upon the land. The first leaves turned beautiful shades of green melding into vibrant yellow burning into furious oranges and reds. The streets were laden with a thick and nearly impermeable milky fog, consuming the streets of the sleepy city outskirts. Trees and houses rose up like figures out of a gloomy swamp, the mist spilling out of the streets and dissipating through the vast expanses of farm land and small, untouched greenspaces that remained.
A fae did a double take, as another creature passed him on the street, immediately humanoid, but with a strange, liminal sensation to their aura that mimicked his own. When he turned his head, he realized the being was staring back at him, perhaps she noticed the inherent strangeness that lingered around the two of them. Maybe what brought this unnaturally thick fog in, as autumn closed in, and the power of the Unseelie came to its absolute zenith.
They stared at eachother for an uncomfortably long time, long enough for his glamour to shimmer and fray in spots, only for her eyes. Sometimes one needed to look upon their fellow supernatural, and simply show oneself for what they truly were. If only for a fleeting moment, before Vali turned, like he was about to walk away. Instead, he crumbled up like a black bag, the shadowy approximation of himself tossed through the wind.
This shadowy form floated about like a freshly fallen leaf, before finally the black ‘leaf’ found itself caught in the branches of a tree. The shadowy mass wrapped itself around the branches, reconstituting itself back into a humanoid being, far off the ground, where he felt safe. But he was also posing a challenge, a game of ‘follow me, figure out what I am’.

11 - an abandoned church, for little ghost?
Send me a number/location and I’ll write a starter for our muses in that setting
The church was clearly old, untouched. Cobwebs and mildew hung is every corner, and part of the roof had collapsed from years - decades - of wind and weather. Weather such as the rainstorm the ghost had gotten caught in.
Incorporeal and unable to get wet, the ghost still didn’t like rain.
As it drifted in though a hole in the wall, a glint caught its eyes. Behind the altar, gleaming as if made the day before, hung a cross wrought in gold and as tall as three men.
The ghost drifted to the altar, clasped its hands, and lowered it head. There was only one thing it remembered for sure from life: The Lord’s Prayer.
It sensed movement behind it, but finished praying before it turned around and arranged what was left of its features into a smile at the newcomer.
