When we reached the city gates, the sun was already dipping low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the uneven ground.
By this time, Alexia, Lily, and I had equipped and activated the Transformation Cards that Selene gave us.
Now, under normal circumstances, it was advised to keep all the activated Cards constantly hovering over our shoulder, head, or around the waist.
After all, in a combat situation, our bodies get hit regularly. It would be foolish to keep our Cards in the area where most attacks would be targeted.
Especially our Origin Cards.
Since they are the manifestation of one's soul, everyone's top priority is to always keep them safe and secure by making them a hard target to hit.
Even if your bones break or your muscles tear asunder, never let your Origin Card get damaged.
Protect your Origin Card with your life — that's what every Awakened is taught from the moment they realize their innate power.
