"Now since most of you mentioned the runic alphabet. There is in fact three runic alphabets. The most popular of course is the Elder Futhark. What can you tell me about it?" Oliver moved back over the tree and sat back down. "Just a little tidbit of what you know. Don't read out the whole textbook to me. Let others have a chance to answer as well."

Sierra hated Ancient Runes, but at least they were only reviewing so far. It hurt her brain to learn new concepts about Runes. The Elder Futhark, though, was at least something they'd talked about in some of the earlier classes she'd taken.

"I know that it's named Furthark, because of the first six runes in the Furthark alphabet," she said, raising her hand. She mentally reviewed the runes that F-U-TH-A-R-K stood for. "That would be Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, and Kenaz."
