Theo let out a low whistle as Wessex demonstrated her chakram. OK, that was a pretty good sales pitch. Could have been delivered with more flair, but whatever. Still impressive. And she had a point. Theo had never gone to the Old Gods for anything, knowing that his Abandoned birth would likely make such an exercise pointless, perhaps even harmful. He'd never really cared that the gods didn't like him -- lots of people didn't like him -- but if the Voice could really offer all that ... It certainly piqued Theo's acquisitive interest.
Of course, there was one question always uppermost in his mind, a question he now called out to Wessex: "What's the catch?"
