Tattooed Hands

Had a dream last night that I awoke from a nap in the forest to find that the palms of my hands had been tattooed with a row of characters from a strange ancient language. Confused as to how I could have ended up with the marks, I wandered off from camp and found a group of people who had been living in the forests for centuries. They saw my hands and took me in and gave me a pair of gloves made from wolverine fur to hide the tattoos - because apparently, they were the key to unlocking an ancient code that lead to a secret device which would either ensure the end of the world or save it, depending on whose hands the device fell into.
