They were SO close, and based on the sounds from beyond the wall... time was of the essence. "Okay, so the last line is Sowilo, Laguz, Perth, Ansuz, Uruz, Ansuz, Dagaz." He counted to the middle, his finger hovering over the Ansuz in the middle. "Ansuz again. Should we try Thurisaz again?"
It couldn't hurt. "
Intaglio Thurisaz. Intaglio Thurisaz. Intaglio Thurisaz." Any luck?
Thin smoke started rising from the Thurisaz rune, and then the familiar burning stench. You could never go wrong with Thurisaz, apparently.
And when the wall gave out another reaction Tag couldn't help but bounce on his heels a bit. The boy was happy and relieved, ok? First try on that weak spot and he had gotten it immediately right. He was mentally congratulating himself. Now Tag wasn't much of a fistbump guy, but for this very moment there was a bright smile on his face as he
gently connected his knuckles with Mo's. He was an old man after all. No need for breaking bones here.
Tag was about to give an opinion on Mo's decision when he started to carve in the opposite rune. The blonde watched his classmate do the work and hoped that everything would turn out all right. And it did. For the wall started to give out more smoke after Mo had finished. "
That was the last line, right?" That's what Mo had just said but just to be sure. "
Do we have to blow it up now?" Or would the wall just completely crumble on its own? If they did have to blow it up was Mo capable of doing that without injuring himself?
