Changes

'''The Snow-Stained,''' also called the Bully's Stick and, more ceremonially, the Brass-Beater, is one of the Hours of the [[The First-and-a-Half Fansus|Mansus]], created by some [[User:A Spooky Pineal Gland Growth|cancerous infestation of the brain]]. It is a God-From-Blood from a time that no longer properly exists, except in echoes and in shards of glass. It is the caretaker of the Mansus' plumbing, from which it was born.

From the plumbing of the Mansus, a lead pipe was pluckedtaken. Its purpose changed in the blood-streaked hands of an occultist. Glass shattered. Time bent, dented. The occultist fell into it, and into all the blood of the things that would never be born, and the terror of averted disaster. Shards fell from the tower; snow dripped from the coat of its vessel. They fell together, and together, stick and shards and vessel. The Stick inherited all that the vessel had been, and together they became something else--the Brass-Beater, who allows no conclusion. It changes essential nature as it strikes.
