Brennan Mistwave
the Vapormantle Merman
Named for the raven that followed the first vent-smoke, and the wave of mist that hid the fire's birth from the old gods.
Power
you can draw the heat from volcanic vents into your blood, breathing steam that scalds and blinds — but each time you do, a piece of your skin turns to ash and flakes away, and you have fewer scars than you started with.
- Familiar
- a vent-spitter crab named Clinker
- Tide
- the Steamfall Tide
Every dusk you climb the black rocks to the steam-vent cove and press your palm to the hot crack in the stone. You have done this for a thousand years, and the crack has never cooled. On the other side, something breathes back — you have never looked, because you know if you do, the breathing will stop.
