"... and there you have part of your answer, Miss Prewett," Di said, referring to Miss Hollingberry's answer. "Most runes have a corresponding colour that is believed to help channel their energies. Scientifically speaking, our knowledge indicates that light and colours can be used to balance personal energies and many rune-makers concentrate on runic colours for accurate readings and greater effects. Light blue and Jera go hand-in-hand because both symbolize the same thing: justice, profits, a new beginning and optimism - as in clear, blue skies - among other things."
Di nodded. "It is, indeed."
Moving on, though... "Jera's element is Earth and its celestial counterpart, the Sun. Does anyone know the gemstone linked to this rune?"
"I believe the stone is Carnelian, Professor."I is said to be linked to blood and also to energy and power." SPOILER!!: professor again<3 Quote:

Given the ancient belief that the gods or Higher Forces decide the outcome of battle, this gives the gemstone its association to justice. It is a positive energy-booster, brings about calm and encourages hard work, optimism and quiet joy. This is a Carnelian."
She flicked her wand as she spoke, causing a replica of the gemstone to appear on each desk. "You can keep those," Di said, picking up the replica that had appeared on her own desk, at the front of the 'classroom'. She liked Carnelians. Pretty stones. Di gave the Lion a smile. "Take an extra point for that information, Mr. Hudson," she said cheerfully.
Back to the class, in general. "Coming to Dagaz, does anyone know the runic number for this rune?" It was not, not, not a good thing that Di's hazel gaze chose that moment to [re-]land on Willie Cookie!Person. Because her pupils wiiiidened as he... as he... as he dug further into the back of his pants? For a moment, she had no idea at all how to react, and then Di cleared her throat.
Yes, loudly.
"Is anything the matt -" She paused, because the boy took that moment to ask her a question. Gemstone? She had half-forgotten Carnelians and all that, she was that shocked, to be honest. "Yes, gemstones," she said. Mustnoteyethiskidoddly. "Each Rune in the Elder Futhark has a corresponding gemstone." Pauuuse. "Is... everything alright, Mr. -?" She didn't know the boy's last name, but Di tried to give him an understanding sort of smile. Unfortunately, she failed miserably at that so she settled for an inquisitive, how-may-I-help-you look.
One that she hoped didn't come across as a WHAT!ARE!YOU!DOING!ODD!CHILD? kind of look, instead.
" I think the number is 24, Professor," Kurumi said when another little idea popped into her head. " Is there some sort of connection with Dagaz being runic number 24 and Jera being runic number 12? Dagaz being exactly two times that of Jera seems like there is some sort of special meaning."
