Sierra stared right at the man's mouth as he spoke. She was trying desperately to follow along with what he was saying. Ancient Runes was hard enough. Add to that the fact that this man spoke very hard to understand English, and the result was a very confused Sierra.

She picked up on what'd he'd asked for them to do, though. Use a chant on their quill. Right. She could do that. She flipped through her book then skimmed through the chants and what each one would do. Finally, she found one she thought would work perfectly on a quill.

With Nauthiz in her left hand and her wand in her right, she pointed her wand toward her quill.

"naudhiz naudhiz naudhiz

nu na nu ne no
nudh nadh hudh nedh niodh
(nut nat nit net not)
un an in en on

There. She thought using a rune that stood for achievement was perfect for casting on a quill. Now, she'd make sure to use this quill on all her homework assignments and exams. Heh.
