IT WAS AN ordinary day for me before I saw it. All part of my normal, set
routine.
I was studying at a downtown café, one of my regular haunts. My
guardian, Battle, was hovering nearby. He rarely sat, preferring to keep vigil
over me in a more alert fashion. As far as I knew that was a normal habit for
a guardian, though it was really only an assumption on my part. I rarely saw
other guardians, let alone interacted with any other than my own.
Because of the dense population, the city-state of Attar had more
guardians than any other place in the world, but even here they were a rare
and awe-inspiring sight.
Battle had been a staple at my side for nearly four years, but still
remained a relative mystery to me. That’s how hard he was to read. How
closed off was his nature.
I rubbed my temple, glancing back at him. He stood straight and tall.
He’d never be caught doing something as relaxed as leaning. Also, I
thought that might be a challenge with his massive, feathered wings.
He met my gaze and just stared back. He was very comfortable with
silence. He almost never felt the need to fill it.
I sighed and went back to my impossible studying. I was on track to
become a healer soon, had been working toward it for years, but it brought
me no enjoyment. An oracle had pointed me onto this career path after
Battle chose me, and I pursued it out of duty alone.
Being chosen by a guardian was a rare and high honor. It meant only
one thing—that you had a divine purpose. The problem was no one told you
exactly what that purpose was. Oracles were supposed to help with
guidance, but they were notoriously vague, especially when it came to
anything involving the divine.
I glanced back at Battle again. He just raised a brow, looking vaguely
annoyed with me.
I wondered, not for the first time, if he felt slighted by receiving a
charge as unexceptional as me. Most with divine purpose had some talent or
skill that made it obvious why they were so valuable, why they needed to be
kept safe at all costs. He’d been with me for years and there was still
nothing we’d found that made me special in any way. Did my lack of
purpose weigh on him like it did me? After all, as my guardian, it would be
his divine purpose as well.
I didn’t tend to ask him these things. Guardians came to us with a strict
code they didn’t like to violate. They held many secrets and agendas that
mere humans weren’t privy to.
I was still looking at him when a woman passed between us and he
tensed. He was primed to see anything that got between his body and mine
as a direct threat.
It made my dating life awkward, to say the least.
This woman had no sense at all, or perhaps it was her first time seeing a
guardian up close, but whatever it was, she stopped in her tracks to stare at
him, directly blocking me from his sight.
