It was a book signing event, and Hazel had a mask on with a face cap to hide her identity. Maledicta approached with a smile, "Please, can I get your autograph. I am a huge fan." She chimed.
Hazel nodded, she found nothing weird about signing an autograph. It was a copy of the priestess and the dragons. "Here," she chimed handing over the book
"Thanks!! "Maledicta squealed like a fan girl, then accepted the book. In the process, her bracelet accidentally pricked Hazel, drawing out her blood.
"Ouch, that hurts." Hazel winced. "I am so sorry." Maledicta put on a pitiful appearance. Trying to help.
Hazel moved away, "It's fine." She said then glanced at the line. "Next..."
Maledicta nodded then left the event. She had already wanted Hazel's blood to create the system
