Page 980, just like the note said. Now this page was written in the modern tongue and looked like it had been sewed into the book not to long ago. Key stepped away so that Symbol and Feather could read.
"Look at the weapons on the rack to your left. Touch each one of them until you find the ones that seem to just be meant for you." Symbol read. Key turned around. There it was, a weapons rack with many knifes and other such sharp things on it.
"Wait, heres something else." Symbol said.
"Only the Key should take a blade. " Symbol looked at Key.
"I believe that means only you get a blade Key. Feather and I get something else." Key nodded and went up to the rack. She put a hand on one of the daggers. No connection. She touched almost everyone until she came upon two daggers. They were about as long as her fore arm, the blades curved around the hilt, almost like how a hand guard would. It just only went over on one side. Key took them off the rack and held them in her hands. Feather stood and looked Key up and down.
"They suit you. All you need now is some different attire." she smiled. Symbol shook her head and continued to read the book.
"Now, lets see. Where do Feather and I come in?" Symbol scanned the nest paragraph.
"Here we are. It says: Symbol, Feather. A Rune of such shall protect the castle walls." Symbol looked at Feather.
"It means we need to create a rune that has the signs of a feather and a symbol on it if we are to keep the castle safe." Feather said, she had always been good at that kind of thing. Symbol nodded.
"But we don't have anything to make a rune. What now?" Symbol asked.
"Read the book silly." Key said pointing to the book with one of the daggers.
"Ey, careful with that thing." Feather said. Key sighed.
"Okay, okay. Heres what we do next: To make this rune, take a bit of each ones hair, mix it in with the water in the basin in front of you, then draw the rune of Feathered Symbol on the ground." Symbol read. Feather whined.
"I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hair cut."
"Oh, stop whining. Its just a little bit." Symbol said. She took a small knife off of the rack and cut off a bit of her hair and then Feathers. She put the hair into the basin and mixed it. The water changed into a silvery liquid. Feather stopped messing with her hair and went over the the basin. Feather was best at writing runes. She dipped her finger into the mixture and started to draw on the floor. It took her a few minutes to finish it, but in the end the silver liquid shone brightly on the ground.
"Yam siht enur eb tsac dna evres s'ti esoprup." Feather chanted and the rune glowed. Then the rune burst into light and blinded the three girls for a second. When the glow dimmed the whole floor was covered in the rune.
