Chapter of the Mist

The Mist is a room. "After you get past the patch of trees that soon begin to look less and less like trees it's just a formless, swirling mist with no shapes or shadows behind it. You can't hear the songbirds or the wind anymore. To be more precise, you hear nothing. Something about this place feels off. You don't like to be here.[paragraph break]It's better to leave this place."

A strong feeling that someone or something is watching you has been following you for a while.[line break]The voice in your head is telling you to get out of here, so maybe it's better to listen to it.";
