Auden’s Blessing
When she happened to turn around and see me, she screamed, “Oh my god, Yina, you scared me to death!”
“What’s this?” I pointed at the oval symbol.
“Oh, that.” She said casually, “It’s the mark used on all replicated giants.” As she spoke, she pulled out another sheet of paper with a similar design, except this one was a black diamond-shaped symbol. “And this is the mark used on replicated gods.”
It felt as if my mind had suddenly stopped working. Instinctively, I repeated, “The mark used on replicated gods?”
“Yeah. Replicated life forms must have a mark engraved on their bodies, otherwise they’d get mixed up with the real ones.”
