Two Gendarmes and a Mordent merchant are assembled before a bench in the Savant's parc. They each look with furrowed brows at the gendarme uniform, vest and feathered hat, laying with a bag as if someone had forgot the things there. On closer inspection, the Gendarmes discovers with even more confusion that the uniform, still wet from the rain, had a bloodied collar. The red stain however did not go further than the badge pined to it, on which is written "Corporal de la Companie du Renard". They then search the bag, in which is tucked and harp, a couple of fancy clothes or costumes, an amulet of Ezra, unfinished books, poems and even scripts. As one of the Gendarmes pulls on the uniform to stock it as evidence, a Tarokka card slips off the bench onto the grass along with ashes coming out of the suit. On the card they can read on the bottom "The Mists", the illustration being of a fog surrounding a figure. Oddly enough, the figure in the middle seems to have been removed in a way that the card is now holed where the figure is supposed to be. And most surprising of all, one of the edge of the card is also tainted with dark red.
