The clay turtle was now done and Ella ran a thumb along the shell part absently while she tried to remember what she'd done with her wand. She wore a confused expression as she glanced down at the newspaper, brow furrowed. She'd had it before, right? The Head Girl was still looking when Lottie spoke up again, answering the question Ella had asked.
"Simple can be good." To each his/her own, right? Besides, the symbol itself would probably be design enough, assuming Lottie would take just as much time carving i-OH!
Her wand. She found her wand! Not that it had ever been lost, not really. It was exactly where she'd left it when she started the molding process and Ella felt silly for ever panicking over the sudden 'disappearance.' "Duro." There, now her clay was hardened as well. Now to do some carving.
She was using the Egyptian symbol Sa, useful for protective purposes. The shape wasn't entirely difficult to make which was beneficial considering she wasn't sure how steady her hand would be. She was definitely going to try her best. "I'm assuming this works the same way it does with runes? Saying Intaglio and then the symbol name?" She was more thinking out loud but any kind of confirmation from Lottie would be appreciated.
Sure, no problem. Lottie just smiled and nodded the Head Girl's way, making sure her reaction was noticed. Really, the best of luck.
Needless to say, the clay turtle Ella was making reminded her of Clover. And then of Mags, who was now gone. The closest pet she could have right now wasn't even hers. She felt alone somehow, it was weird not having to take care of a little animal every day. So, without further ado, she tore her eyes away from the turtle. Thanks for reminding us, Ella.
The irony of it all was that the symbol she was gonna be carving was the Ankh. Eternal life. Immortality. Rather ironic considering that Ella just reminded her how things aren't permanent. She was still going to carve it, though, for 'Lotus The Strong Immortal Wisteria' reasons. Made sense. And made her smile, so, all good.
"I believe so, because when we carve runes we're focusing on its energy and what it represents, this ought to be similar. It is with intent that you're actually summoning its power, sort of." The wand doesn't make the wizard, it comes from within. So focus, Ella. INTENT. This was something Lottie didn't have a problem with, unless we're talking about Astronomy, then that's different depending on what's being taught. Immortality. Right. It was also a protection from darkness and death, so, this is what she had in mind when she pointed her wand at one of her shapes and performed Intaglio on it. "Intaglio.... Ankh, Ankh, Ankh...," it was almost in a whisper that she said this words. That didn't mean the intent wasn't strong.
There it was, though, a perfect symbol. Ankh.
"Done." For some reason, she was slightly tired. Kinda wanted Stella with her. She knew where to find that kneazle, though. |
