Incarnation of the Living City
Incarnation of the Living City is a Spirit-Ridden.
Background
| “ | "The city has a heart and a mind. I am the city, little werewolf, and you are only here at my sufferance." | ” |
The writer loved the city. His biography of it was a bestseller nationally and internationally. All his works of fiction had the city as a principal character, scattered through history. Frankly, as he slipped into alcoholism and old age, he couldn't imagine living anywhere else. One night, the city came to him as he slept, and it offered to stop the pains in his chest. It would take only a moment, and he would be one with the city. The writer didn't hesitate, rejoicing as he was subsumed into the vast history of the place he loved so much.
Description
From a distance, the Claimed looks much like any other gentlemen in late middle-age, running to fat a little. It's only when you come close to the man and see the rough, sandstone texture of his skin, the glass of his eyes and the faint hint of grass in his hair that you can see that he's more than he appears.
