The city of New Angeles was old and rotting, spread out like a dark petrol stain on sand. Three great towers stood at its the center, so tall that the uppermost tips of their spires pierced the clouds. Like dreary, limp halos, mist spiraled down around the dark towers, cloaking the upper windows with an ever-present slick of rain and casting the occupants in a drear half-light. Dominic Cobb, Lord Mayor of the New Angeles - whom some dissidents and discontents mockingly called ‘King’, and most called ‘Black Cobb’ after his reputation for violence and use of Dark Magic - looked up slowly from his clasped hands. His eyes were hidden by shadow, and the shadows around his tight mouth grew outwards, looking to split his face in two. Next to him sat Ariadne, Priestess of the Cults, who oversaw all major religions, sects, and belief systems within the city. Her reputation was, if anything infamously Darker than Black Cobb’s.

Had the man been following him? He sipped his drink, cursing silently the fact that it was running low.

The man paused and glanced towards the bar. He turned back around and reached out, cupping his hands around the violent black drink that Yusuf had made, and that Arthur had believed left at the bar. He frowned at it. The man had left it there. And Arthur had not seen it appear here. Sorcery. He could feel the tension of the magic use working its way up his fingers, and he lifted them from the tabletop ( ... )
