The Draught

The cold that comes in under doors. Always On’s last fight.

The Draught, a battle sprite from Always On
Battle sprite from Always On

“It is the cold that comes in under doors. It has been blowing the lamp out for years.” The lamp kept coming back on, and that annoyed it. It lives in the attic and says only “Hhhhhhhhhhhh.”

In battle it gets under the door, rattles every window and draws in from every gap in the house before it blows. When it’s beaten it “thins out to nothing at all”, and the lamp stays on.
