Calamity [1]
The fact that the mist brought Damien to this place meant that it had already accepted him.
When Damien looked at it in what could only be considered its eyes, it lost all resistance it had.
A strange scene played out for an audience of none.
As Damien sat there, the mist slowly crept towards him. It was shy and tentative, almost doubting every single movement it made, but it still inched closer and closer until it was right in front of Damien's face.
There was no difference between this mist and the mist that populated the entirety of Gehenna. However, it still felt different.
The wisps around Damien were active, as if they were trying to communicate with him.
And as Damien had been communicating with the mist for a while now, he basically understood its purpose.
This confused entity was used to being alive. It had obtained spirituality long enough ago for it to understand the mysteries beyond the universe's creation.
