Alyssa got up from where she was sitting and took a piece wood and a gouging tool and returned to her work desk. She first opened her textbook on runes and looked through the various ones until she found the one she was looking for. Ansuz. The rune of luck, good fortune, good fortune, immortality, divine impulse of human beings, and the invocation of divine power or help. It was also the rune of communications.
Alyssa studied the rune before she picked up the piece of wood and started using the gouging tool to gouge out a straight line. She gouged and removed bits of scraps and blew away the wood dust before examining the line that she had gouged out. Once that was completed she started working on the other two lines branching out from the main one. As she worked on carving the rune into the piece of wood, Alyssa concentrated on the shape of the rune itself and what it represented.
Once she completed first line that branched off slanting a little downward from the first straight line, she started working on carving out the second line to run parallel with the line she had just carved out. She gouged and brushed, picking off loose splinters before she decided that she had completed carving the rune. She sat back and examined her work and the
rune Ansuz.
