As she hypothesized over the appearance of the fog and Tanser he said, "Well I'm no expert but we know someone who is." Listening for his grand father they got inside to the kitchen and tried to hail him over. The fog was unprecedented, this enough you could grab a cloud in your hand and take it somewhere else. "If the Tansers are moving in the fog I can't imagine where they came from, at that speed they would've been seen or disrupted by the rivers or so on... Tanners can't touch water they melt too quick for them to regenerate unlike the snow... and the rivers do freeze true, but usually they're too brain dead to try and cross. So if they have finally figured it out that is not a good sign, that means so many people are going to be in for it when they are out of the badlands." He said as they heard Jr appear.<br/><br/>"<i>Kids we're in trouble. Big trouble. The fog is not from Skyaia, it is from the Yukon to the east, something evil is in that fog. something I've never seen." </i><br/>"Is it Tansers? We ran one over in the fog." Jr shook his head,<br/>"<i>No no, much worse. It is not body of an animal it is something malevolent from the east. Born from Mercury. A metal found in the earth that in early days fools thought to make gold from its silver liquid form. Disease spread and dominated for years, these creatures are ill found by that same element and I fear a plague will sweep the land. I've been to Chyta, I've been to Silverwood, I've been to Nebznia... hundreds of voices and souls brought to a husk of themselves. The poison that is Mercury is taking the land and I fear there will be war."</i>
