The others were probably thinking it over too, that would explain the silence that followed. A silence that was broken the moment Tag spoke up.

Raidho...? Well it did talk about a journey...? She thought it through for a minute but couldn't shake the feeling that just maybe it wasn't all that accurate. Umm...Of the life's cycle we journey, Before our first whine. For some reason she couldn't see that much dealing with progression or life lessons so to speak...more like...

"Oh! That rune!!! That one rune--what's it's name again? The one and it talks about 9 and 9 symbolizing stuff including the 9 months of pregnancy??" Pregnancy happened before your first whine. She squeezed her eyes shut as if willing herself to mentally picture the same page she'd glanced that time. The thing with her memory was, it was selective, she needed to want to remember. "Ummmmm.....Haga...hag something..." She snapped her fingers as the word came to her. "Hagalaz!"

Lex looked to Tag. "I think we could try mine and if it doesn't work we try yours...?" At least she felt a bit confident in her answer. She unholstered her wand and took aim. "Intaglio hagalaz hagalaz hagalaz hagalaz..."
