“The – oh, you mean the tattoo? I got it at a studio. I found the pattern in a book.”
Cai looked at Suzy and waited.
“...and that book,” Suzy continued, “I, um, sold. To a pawn shop. Hey, no need for that face. I couldn’t have known it was valuable.”
“That book,” Cai said softly, “held all the knowledge about your chosen path.”
Suzy leaned close to Cai, daring him to argue. “I – haven’t – chosen – anything. All I know is I got a tattoo, cue insanity and danger. Who’s this champion you mentioned?” She definitely didn’t like the sound of that. She imagined more thugs, hiding in alleys and closets.
“It’s a sacred tradition, old as the moon. A ritual, I think you would call it. The messenger needs to bring the medallion to safety before the other forces claim it. If they do, the entire world is in danger.”
“This is madness.” Suzy said. Her head felt light, and the room threatened to begin to spin around her. “Who’s this messenger?”
Cai bit his lip and spread his hands apologetically. “You, of course.”
