"Good answers," Davina nodded. "Put very simply, runes are an alphabet. Used prior to the integration of the Roman or Latin alphabet. In case that sounds tough, let me say that before you had the ABC, you had ancient runes - as Miss Conrad has so elegantly put it, they are 'old stuff'." She smiled, lightly.
