Everyone went out to dinner again. Thankfully to a restaurant with less sticky chairs and a good selection of wine. No other time in her life had Ametta needed a drink more than this night.

Several theories about the two ravens were thrown across the table. Again, the split totem, the good side and the bad side of it. Kinley mentioned that Odin had two ravens, and Saskia stated ravens were associated with Death. But Ransom put forth a possible idea which made them all pause to think.

“What if the totem has split itself in several pieces? It knows it’s being hunted. What better way to throw off the scent than by having doubles everywhere? Several false trails, each with a tiny bit of its magic. Hunters spread out everywhere.” Ransom skittered his fingers across the table in a bunch of directions. “That way, the central piece of the totem can choose who it wants to have it. If it wants anyone to have it.”

“It will want to be with the other totems.” Sedge’s statement was emphasized with his stabbing his steak with a fork. As he cut it, the juices from the meat oozed onto his plate.

Ametta kept her gaze away from his meal. Her stomach was tight enough as it was. After working with the Meyers earlier in the year, a large family who were cattle shifters and who had lost a son to the hunters, she didn’t have much of an appetite for red meat.

“So it will come to us who are bearers.” Saskia ate her steak with fervor equal to Sedge’s.

Sedge swallowed the bite he had just taken. “You are not to take on two tokens.” He looked to Ransom and then Ametta. “None of you.”

“We can’t dictate who the totem picks.” Ransom leaned back in his chair and waited for anyone to argue that. No one could.

“I think it will be Mett.” All heads turned to Kinley as she spoke. She smiled a little. “Well, you’ve all felt it, and Mett saw it first last night. Then today it was at the mall where she was.”

“We were at the mall too.” Sedge huffed. “Could be me, Kunik, or Lucky.”

“But you keep saying it wants to be with other totems.” Kinley quieted at the narrow-eyed look Sedge gave her.

“I don’t think we should worry right now who the totem picks.” Lucky lifted his glass of beer and took a sip. “Besides, if we can’t tell which one is the actual totem, then we have to wait for it to do something.”

“I’ll be able to tell.” Saskia nodded as she took another big bite.

Ametta waggled her fork at her. “No, you won’t be able to tell. I felt the pull to both of them, equally as strong.”

“I’m more finely tuned than you are.” Saskia didn’t even look up from her plate as she said it.

Ametta gnashed her teeth. Just because she didn’t have any Black Shaman training or heard whispers in her head, it did not mean she had no clue what she was talking about.
