Alessia looked at the boy. "Master Rihverr, they would not be useless... in class we came up with meanings for each rune. Once you have thought up a question, you draw your first rune. You focus on that rune, and you think of the events that have led up to the issue your question is about. That's the past. Then, draw a second rune, and while focusing on it, consider how things are now regarding the question you asked. Finally, the third rune. Focus on what the possible future outcome will be." She explained.
