"You don't have to worry. You will be protected and catered for," Howard promised, his tone reassuring. "All you have to do is get to the borders of every main city, and my men will pick you up." The crowd's minds were racing with the possibilities, and some people were already thinking about making their way to the city borders.
"But there's something to note before you can be picked," Howard added, his voice firm. "You must have a blackstone mark on your arm. If you don't, then it means you don't have the same powers as me, and with that, you're not a member of my faction."
The crowd's eyes scanned their own arms, as they searched for the mark, as for those with their entire arms tattooed, they were trying so hard to find the mark. While others who already have powers, and knew they had no mark on their arms, just continued listening to the announcement.
