“You mentioned my mother. Did you know her?” His look turned wistful and he nodded. “Very well. She was the only person I’ve known personally to have Tenelach. It’s a very rare gift that is passed down from mother to daughter.” Her fingers brushed the necklace that had been her mothers and Brigg’s eyes widened. He leaned closer to examine it. “This was hers?” he asked. Rissa nodded. As he reached for it, his shirt sleeve pushed up and she caught sight of a tattoo on his wrist. Without thinking, she reached forward to push his sleeve up further. It was a triangle inside of a circle with symbols surrounding it. Briggs turned his wrist so she could get a better look. “This marks me as Tri-Gard, we each have a different one,” he explained as he began to point to each of the four symbols.
