Meaaaaan children.
All the same, it ought to help her. So branches gentlyyyy lowered themselves in front of the kid. The door that popped up behind them had a keyhole that peeped out through their midst, this keyhole being the same shape as the runes in the rune bags the students had been provided - each rune in the bag could fit into it and serve as a key.
The following words appeared on the floor...
The Spruce tree corresponds to me.
Jera or Dagaz? Take your pick. The Whomping Willow doesn't like to waaaaiiiiiiitttt!
Marie was trying to find her way out of this silly maze when...
Whoa! She was being attacked by the willow tree. Jumping back she was a bit surprised when the tree DIDN"T attack her. Huh... maybe this tree was as bad as everyone said it was.
A door, there was a door behind the branches. Now the question was would the tree let her get to the door without whomping her? Inching closer to the door she sees there is a keyhole. Crap, that means the door is probably locked. But how was she going to open it, she didn't have any keys, or did she? Looking down at the bag in her hand she sees the writing on the floor.
The Spruce tree corresponds to me.
Great, now she had to remember what they talked about in class. Which rune went with the Spruce tree? Reaching in her bag she pulls out one of each of the runes. Jera or Dagaz? Right, now she remembered. Putting one back in the bag she carefully puts her hand and arm between the branches and put the
Dagaz rune in the keyhole.
Please let it open the door, she does not want to get crushed by those branches.
