Wu was always a trouble person, chosen by the spirits when she was only 8, she train daily to meet their demand. Anytime she doesn't meet up to their standard they punish her village harshly with disaster and disease. The only thing she could do to get back at them is through deals and pacts, so she learn to speak in riddle and proverb like the spirits. She became really good at getting the most out of a spirits, less and less of them try to make deal with her, leaving only the powerful and arrogance one for her to exploit.
+
David Washington's daddy always cursed him for being the shiftless layabout he was, saying things might have changed in this country but boys like him still needed to work for a living. David just wanted to enjoy his newfound freedom, however, and he found every excuse he could to avoid actual work. When his parents found out he was running games on their neighbours, they booted him out at the tender age of 17.
  
This was her daily life for a while, she was depise by both her community for bringing misfortune to them and the spirits because of her ruthlessness. But people and spirits still make deal with her anyway, the human are attracted to Wu mysterious charm, while the spirits want to prove their superiority. The only person who she seem to care for is Xiao, who is also marked by the spirits, but unlike Wu they're part spirits themselves. Forsaken from their village Xiao live in the wood close to where Wu live, they became fast friend.
+
Undeterred, David travelled around and ran cons as he did so. He fell in with some bad crowds, but a combination of luck and cunning got him out in one piece every time. Until the day he met Valerie Chilton, a Mad Scientist working on longevity treatments. She offered him good pay for being a test subject, which sounded like an easy deal to David.
  
But on Xiao 20th birthday, they decided to go to America for new oppotunity that her homeland couldn't offer, and they can finally leave behide this past. That night, Wu manage to let Xiao into a boat going to America without the spirits noticing them. Xiao often send letter to Wu telling her all about the amazing site of america, its people, and the culture.
+
The actual tests soon changed his mind. She twisted him, transformed him, until he felt like a stranger in his own body. After she was done working her science upon him she paid him duly, and then sent him on his way. Feeling repulsed by his own flesh, David came to an epiphany of sorts, and he finally appreciated what his old man had been trying to teach him all those years ago. Now he's trying to go on the straight and narrow, but when you've got the skillset he does it's often easier to fall back on bad habits.
  
But after 3 years of letter Xiao suddenly stop, the last letter that they send only telling her that they're going to Colrando, to find the "prize jewel of the west". After a year of nothing, Wu finally decide to go after Xiao, Wu manage to trick the spirits into accepting that she will be gone for a while to find Xiao, not knowing that she will be in another continent, where their power doesn't have  any influence over her.
+
He's gotten word that an old colleague of his, [[YellerBelly|Bill Keely]], is having trouble in a town called Coffin Rock. David and Bill haven't had the easiest relationship, but he feels he owes the old coot so off he goes to bail him out of trouble.

Wu been in America for a while now, and she still haven't find Xiao, even after posting poster of them, hiring detective, and even getting the involment of criminals. Part of her hope they're okay, and not hurt, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something is wrong with Xiao.
+
His parents, the victims of his cons, all the people he feels he’s let down or hurt finding him and coming to take their revenge. The form this revenge takes varies from dream to dream: sometimes they dismember him, sometimes they imprison him and sometimes they bury him alive and let the worms come for him.
 
 
Sometime she dream of Xiao, they're standing on a dark beach, the water raging and there seem to be a storm coming. Xiao telling Wu to stop trying to find them, and that they don't want anything to do with china or spirit anymore. Everytime she try to speak her mouth feel like it's getting sew shut, when she try to move, her body feel more heavier than a mountian. As she see Xiao slowly walking beneath the ocean wave, as the storm consume her.
