Old Wounds
Old Wounds is the mentor's early warning system, written into every scar they carry. Hours before danger arrives — an ambush on the road, a knife in a friendly hand, a trap sprung in a council chamber — the old wounds begin to ache. The mentor has learned to read the pattern of the pain: a throb in the shoulder means steel from above, a pull in the ribs means betrayal from someone trusted, a cold tightness across the throat means the danger is already inside the room. The gift gives them time. Not much. Enough to put a hand on a weapon, to angle a shoulder toward the door, to say the one word that might still turn the moment. The mentor has stopped wondering why their scars know the future. They simply listen. Old Wounds is one of the signature abilities of The Mentor.
