    Summary

    This is my and my siblings' collection of hosts. Their stories. Some are simple. Some are complicated. We found each on the brink of death, or dead, all with so much life left in their bones. We promised help, in return for just vengeance.

    Some of them took vengeance loudly, burning themselves into folktales for the rest of eternity. Some protected the innocent with the warmth of a hearth fire. Some, most, do both. That is, become both the warmth of the flame and the story told around it. It really does depend on which of us is within that host.

    All we need to operate is a heart ablaze with something. Rage, grief, hope, any will suffice. We've lived in assassins, vigilantes, activists, and adventurers. We've been the fuel of devastation you couldn't dream of and help in situations not even I expected to be helpful in.

    Some say that Death's embrace is cold. But my partners, siblings, and I have always had something to say to that, no matter who had been a host at the time:

    When Death comes for you, she is never faster than us, us Ghosts and our Riders. Her embrace is cold, but your miserable self will never be able to feel it. It'll be too busy burning.
