Elise was finally done with all that fuss and muss about carving the runes. It had taken a lot out of her, that's for sure. And if she didn't know the runes back then? Well, she sure knew them now. It was painfully obvious that you would have to eventually memorize them after chanting them for way too long. Well now it was just the reddening and accessorizing and beeswaxing to do with her Gandr, so it was to the Ancient Runes classroom.

There, she picked up a paintbrush and very very delicately started to pigment all the runes with a deep blood red. Absurd amounts of concentration right there, people. No accidents would happen. This was house points.

Once she was done, she squinted to make sure nothing was missing and then beamed proudly. Okay, that was it. Next step was the beeswax. Right? Right.
