Lucy Reborn - 44 Runes

Master Gavin handed her a chalkboard slate and a piece of calk. In the end, Lucy wrote the entire alphabet 13 times and had to recite it 6 times before he was satisfied. “Let’s move on to Runic,” Master Gavin says. “Wipe your slate” Lucy quickly wipes it with a dusty cloth. Will I have to do this every day? I might scream. Breath. Breath. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is power. Damn it.

“This is the Eternity Ring, the First Rune of the language of life.” Master Gavin says, setting his brush down.

……O….

Lucy stares at the paper. “It shimmers!” Lucy says, tilting her head. “It’s the magic in the Rune, Third Miss.” Master Gavin explains. “Try writing the Eternity Ring,” Master Gavin says. Lucy blinks than draws a circle. Master Gavin nods. “Excellent, Third Miss is truly talented.” It’s a circle. That’s all it is! Plus mine isn’t glowing. “The Eternity Ring is the basis of the Magic Circle and the most widely used rune. It is the essence of life, and time” Master Gavin lectures. “It has…”

Lucy eyes the plate of cookies across the table.  Her tummy grumbles. It’s so far away! Master Gavin pauses, Lucy lifts her hand. “How do I make it shimmer?”  Lucy asks, pointing to the dull rune on her slate. Master Gavin smiles. “There are two ways. One is to infuse your innate magic or create a Beta or Ace rune that draws magic from its surroundings” He indicts his own. “My rune is a  Beta rune. While I wrote it, it absorbed magic from around it. An Ace rune continuously draws magic to itself.” He says. “Runes are empowered by being Runes. A poorly written rune could leak magic, shatter, or fade over time. A mistake in writing a rune while infusing it with innate magic could cause backlash injuring your powers for a time. Runes display levels of power depending on how well they are created. A weak rune isn’t weak because very rune is weak. It’s weak because of its imperfection, and lack of comprehension,” Master Gavin says.

“So to make an Ace rune, all someone has to do is draw a really neat Eternity Ring?” Lucy asks, frowning. Isn’t magic a little too easy then. “Of course not.” Master Gavin says. “Understanding the rune is even more important than writing a precise rune. Runes without knowledge are called lesser runes. They are restrained, unable to display the entirety of their power because the people using them don’t understand the runes” Master Gavin says. “A rune can be perfect in shape, but display the same amount of magic as a Rune drawn by 6-year-old infusing magic for the first time if one lacks any understanding”

My head hurts. “Don’t worry, Third Miss. You shall not have to bother with all that until your Awakening” Master Gavin says. “You just need to perfect your shaping of the rune. Even I don’t understand Runic completely.” Master Gavin hands her a wooden ring. “Trace this on your slate. And then freehand an Eternity Ring beside it. Do that 20 times” Master Gavin says. Lucy winces, her tummy growling. “Can I have a cookie first?” Lucy asks.
