The story so far
The First Rust was the first who chose to rust — on purpose, in public — and he dared anyone to call it decay. They didn't; they followed him to the Flats instead, and the Flats Edge is his answer. On every Long Dim he lies facing the bare patch all night, listening for the part after; Fallow times her wakings to his listenings, and neither will say why.
