Default Post #11 - Staining the Second Aett with blood
♥s her SS family | Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler | ❄ Bookish & Cat-Approved ❄ | Soodley ♥

Amelia allowed herself to have a five minute break before deciding that she would start working on the next Aett. Again she consulted her textbook first, so that she could get a better grasp of what Rune she was working with represented. It was sad that only three of them had actually been in her brain before this, and two of those had been subjects for her homework assignments.

After feeling that she had a grasp on what she was working with, Amelia moved the eight Runes that she would be applying blood to in front of her. Now picking up her pin again, the middle finger of her right hand was pricked and then squeezed so that more blood came to the surface.

The first Rune that would be stained was Hagalaz, and she remembered that it had something to do with putting the past behind you; destruction and rebirth. Thinking about what the Rune meant and repeating its name over and over again in a low voice, she applied the blood to the Rune and smoothed it in.

Nauthiz was a negative Rune related to wanting, and it was hard for Amelia to keep from thinking of all the things she was in want of and actually do the work at hand. But she managed to keep her focus, and was more deliberate in repeating that name over and over when rubbing the blood into the Rune.

She worked through Isa, and was happy when it was time for Jera. This was a Rune of change -- generally positive change. That was something she liked. A permanent reward after hard work, and that push to finish a job. It was with a smile that she stained that Rune.

Amelia worked through the rest of the Aett now, feeling that she liked a lot of these Runes, and Nauthiz was the only one that she didn't care for. Placing the last Rune in the row with the other completed ones, she decided to take another break.
