Now seated, Sierra looked at the piece of wood in her hands and tried to place where she'd seen it before. It looked like something they'd discussed in, maybe, History of Magic class during that wand wood lesson. She ruled out a few trees she knew the branch hadn't come from. Looking around the area, she tried to figure out the type of tree it'd come from. When her eyes fell on the tree near where she'd found the branch, she paused for a second, and the it hit her--Hawthorn.

She had the branch from a Hawthorn tree. Grinning to herself, she reached for her wand, ready to begin. "Intaglio!" she said, as she began to crave the symbol for Fehu. "Fehu, Fehu, Fehu," she said. Once the first rune was completed, she aimed her wand toward the wood again. "Intaglio!" she said. "Uruz, Uruz, Uruz." She formed the symbol for Uruz on the wood. Looking around and realizing she was still a little behind, she quickly aimed her wand toward the wood a third time. "Intaglio!" she said. "Thurisaz, Thurisaz, Thurisaz."

Three runes down, a ton to go.
