Heeeeeeeeeeey, lookit! She finally got around to stopping by the lake! She'd been meaning to stop by here and now she had...too bad she still needed to finish carving her runes. Only four left, that wasn't so bad. She could do this then head back for some ice-cream. That was good at any time of the day.

She took a seat right by the edge of the lake and got out the book again. Only four. Not so bad. She'd be over with this before she knew it.

LAGUZ!!! THIS ONE!! The first riddle in their maze!!! She didn't know the answer but everyone else did and that kinda made up for it so she wouldn't complain. She GRINNED down at the rune, kinda like it could see her if her cheeks spread far enough. Useful as a symbol of water, of transitions between states, e.g., birth, life, growth and death. It is a perfect means for building an oath. Uh-huh...no idea what that was saying but that never stopped her before! On to carving!!!

"Itaglio laguz laguz laguz."

That looked good. NEXXXXTTT! Ingwaz. There we go. Right back to the runes she didn't know. Though if she was being honest, that was most of them, wasn't it? To gather people or to influence them. It can be used to establish dedication and loyalty, the "we" of a group. Okay, she had to admit, this one was kinda cute. She liked it. It would be a nice addition. "Itaglio ingwaz ingwaz ingwaz"

TWO MORE TO GO!!

Dagaz...and this one was...It is a good luck charm, and can also be used to advance one's station in life. It is helpful for spiritual advancement and understanding. It is an expression of universal love. Meh, nothing special but who caaared, she was almost done!! "Itaglio dagaz dagaz dagaz."

Eeep!!! Almost done!!

Othala? What the kneazle? That wasn't even a legit word! Again, she wouldn't complain. Nope, this was the last one!! This is a rune of merchants, but also the land-holding nobles and both classes in which inheritance, property and goods play a key role. It thus aids in partnerships, whetehr those of business, politics, or marriage. She was fine with this up until marriage...just saying.

Ahem. Carving. "Itaglio othala othala othala." EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!! DONE!!! YEEESSS!
