Luckily, the day’s conversation turned out to be pretty helpful. Ken managed to steer the storytelling to the origins of the talismans, a subject that her teacher purposefully avoided whenever possible. She explained that the stones were delivered to hand-picked subjects by traveling wanderers, who, at the time, looked strange but were simply from different parts of the world. These people gave instruction on how to use them and what they were for, and that the wielder was being trusted with something pretty damn important.
