Exception

'''Disillusioned by the actions of the Clan and haunted by the failures of his past, Brandon Persus takes walk on his own to clear his mind. Yet something else will come to the fore...'''

Plot Background
Exception takes place after Lynna, Oneiros, and Terminos headed back to the Clan to control their Manifested powers. It is written by magmetor7 with input by SDM, and is from the perspective of Brandon Persus.

Synopsis
With The Factory and Arachnos discussing plans to protect against The Nihilius Clan, Brandon excuses himself to walk by himself and get some air. Along the way he berates his inability to protect those close to him as the image of a long, blonde-hair woman with blood-crimson eyes standing in front of his rain-soaked self, ready to strike. The mental image serves to be the breaking point as he collapses, crying his eyes out and pounding the ground in anger.

When he composes himself, he gets back up and continues walking, but it isn't long before he trips over something on the ground. Going back to inspect the object, he finds an alien, green, featureless mask mostly stuck in the ground. It has an ethereal feel to it, and upon touching it Brandon feels a wild fury grip him, as well as a furious desire to dig the object up. Getting a clear look at the green mask, he remembers that this was on the face of the Reimu doppelganger, but also remembers that the mask had broken then while the mask in front of him was whole and undamaged.

With a sense of foreboding, Brandon grabs a teleport charm and heads back to the Factory.
