First Line:
Creole mothers in the French quarter of New Orleans tell the story of the strange, dark man who rolls in with the fog off the Mississippi once every seven years.
Synopsis:
Henri LeBeau sneaks into X-Mansion and tells his young stepbrother, Gambit, that the time of the tithing has come and he is needed in New Orleans as the Assassins Guild is trying to break the old pacts. As they are speaking, Henri is cut down by an assassin’s arrow. Gambit gives chase and discovers that the killer is Julien, the "dead" brother of his wife. Learning that Bella Donna is also alive (she was "killed" in X-Men (Marvel, 1991 series) #8), Gambit and Rogue prepare to leave for New Orleans.
