Mazes amused her, really they did. You could be walking forever without really knowing where you were going and you got those near death experiences, even if they weren't real and you wouldn't actually die. The Professor was watching so they could be dramatic and flail and have a good time if they wanted to.

No flailing just yet though. For now they were fine. Despite having led them into a few dead ends she regained some confidence in her sense of direction (Felix would be so proud) and made the decisions at the forks in the maze. Nothing beat guessing, nothing.

Lex blinked as she came to the last puzzle. Was this the end of the maze...? Well then...that was fun while it lasted.

She took a look at the riddle and read it over a couple times while she waited on everyone else to gather round.

I start with loss. How many runes did that? Couldn't have been many...and that wolf bit. She'd read about a wolf--not particularly for runes but for a homework piece she'd handed in last term so now she was looking for a rune that had a wolf story to it too. Didn't that one guy sacrifice his hand to a wolf...to that um...Fenris Wolf...? Tyr was it? Teiwaz.

Also...

"I'm not sure, but...isn't the symbol for Teiwaz an up pointing arrow?" She asked aloud, just trying to piece everything together. It was...wasn't it? That would make almost everything make sense! The wolf, the always pointing north--oh and that rune dealt with...with...oh merlin. Um...justice, just like the riddle said!!! "I think we're looking at Teiwaz for this. I just don't get the 'start with a loss' part. What do you think?" She asked, looking to each of them.
