Okay, he could handle this...he thought. He was at least feeling warmer, which was a good start in his opinion. The darkness and the fog were both starting to get the best of him, though. He was quickly starting to change his mind about not lighting his wand. Finally, he just spoke a strong "Lumos!" before changing his mind altogether. Breathe, Brent. Breathe. So he had warmth, he had light, and...he had fog. It was that last one that he still had to conquer.

His heart was pounding out of chest at this point. Out of all his years of Quodpot, Quidditch, and any type of competition whatsoever, this was the most tense. He'd look back on this when he was eighty-years-old and think about what a cool experience it had been. The thing was, he wasn't eighty right now. He was fifteen, and he had no idea what was in front of him.

Then suddenly, he heard it...whatever it was. Somebody was in trouble, but he had no idea who they were or where they were. It might not even be a person either, because he knew there were many a magical things that could mimic a human being. He had to head forward...and fast! His foot crunched down on something, and he jumped just a bit before realizing it was a stick. He started to step over it, when a thought came to him. He HAD to see where he was going. He HAD to know what it was making that sound. He quickly picked up the stick and aimed his wand toward it. Now what had his textbook said?

Kenaz: Vision, revelation, knowledge, creativity, inspiration, technical ability..., etc., etc. etc.

It was the vision part he was focused on, though. "Intaglio Kenaz!" he said, remembering the incantation to carve a rune. With his hands shaking ever-so-slightly, he began to carve until he could see the Kenaz rune in the stick. Now it just needed to be activated.

"kenaz kenaz kenaz
ku ka ki ke ko
kun kan kin ken kon
ok ek ik ak uk
kaunnnnnnnnn..."

...and there it was. Soon, he was heading forward at a slightly faster pace with a stick bearing the Kenaz rune in his hand, hoping it would eliminate some of the fog, so he could see.
