Summary
The Outsider's Mark wasn't just a mark.
It was a brand.
It burned, when he blinked. When he commanded time to contract the distance between him, and a filth-covered ledge. When for a moment, his bones were reduced to memory, and his latest crystallizing breath was all that was left behind….
Then he would reappear again, and the back of his hand would burn.
