Deal

Kaizen thought about Jeff's words and looked at the mark on the thief's chest. He had seen many things in his life, but this was new to him. "So you mean that only those who have this mark can enter the City of Tears?"

"Yes. I don't really understand how it works, but I know that it is the mark of those who live in the City of Tears. I had never seen anyone with this mark in my life until I met Adohorn, he showed me that there is a spell that powerful magicians use to check where the people of Olaynore come from." Jeff said and then looked seriously at Kaizen. "When he showed me that, I knew he was different."

"What are you getting at?" Kaizen asked, his eyes narrowing.

"You know you're messing with people you shouldn't. Adorhorn is too strong, and I've learned over time that when he wants something, he gets it. If you stand in his way, you must be prepared to lose."
