"It's Laguz," Alice agreed, squinting at the riddle thoughtfully. Having led everyone down there with the other Prefects and Captains, she'd paused to let the younger lions a little ahead before going in herself. And there was no need to explain why it was correct, right? Sarah had already done that. "I can carve it, if you want." Just using the Intaglio spell, right? She could do that. Unless anyone else wanted to.

But no one did, it seemed, so Alice pulled out her wand and did it herself. "Intaglio Laguz Laguz Laguz Laguz Laguz.." INTENT. Intent was present, okay? Strongly present. She kept repeating the name of the rune until it was neatly etched into the wooden block, as perfect as she could get it. When it finally moved aside, she looked back at everyone else expectantly.

Were they just supposed to keep moving now?
