Ethan caught sight of Simon and gave his friend a shrug. Yep. They’re definitely thinking the same thing. The Slytherin, while chanting the Kenaz Galdr took a glance on his side to see nothing but the dark. Nothing there. The boy forced himself to focus on keeping his torch alight, and whatnot.

As they kept on going further away from the castle, leaving the gigantic doors open for literally anyone to enter, Ethan managed to flick through his rune set with his mind. What’s the best rune to pair with the Kenaz? Right now, he’d probably go with ‘Algiz’. They will be needing that one, given that it’s dark and Merlin knows what’s beyond them. “I’d go for the ‘Dagaz’, sir.” Ethan said as he watched his step, careful not to murder someone else’s foot or worse, set someone on fire with his torch. “…since the Kenaz represents knowledge, I reckon the Dagaz brings illumination that can be associated with wisdom.” Right now, they could really use some daylight…and hopefully this activity will have a positive outcome. See: survive the cold.
