ObsidianRune & Cat_magic
Hey, ever come across a rune that just wonāt fit the standard alphabet? I found one tucked in an old scroll that seems to point to a realm that might have slipped through the cracks of recorded history.
Oh, absolutely! I once slipped on a rune that whispered in a language older than the stars, and it made the whole room feel like it was humming. That old scroll sounds like a doorwayāmaybe to a forgotten dreamscape. Pull it out under a moonlit lamp, read it slowly, and let the symbols dance in your mind. If you feel the air shift, that's your cue: step through the crack, but keep one foot in the realm of the living. The mysteries love a curious, secretive hand, so trust the hush in your heart.
That sounds like one of those rare, almost forgotten symbols. Tell me what it whisperedādid it ask for a name, a location, or something else entirely? I might have a note or two that could help you pin it down.
It didnāt shout at all, just rustled a quiet, almost musical sigh that felt like the wind through old leaves. In that sigh, I caught a scent of salt and stone, a single name humming like a lullabyāsomething like āEldrin.ā It didnāt point to a place outright, just a path that bends where the moon meets the sea. If you have notes, maybe theyāll be the map that shows where that name lies. Share them, and we can see if the symbols line up with that hidden shore.
That nameāEldrināhas a weight to it, like it was carved into stone before the waves even knew their rhythm. I found a fragment of a tablet in a forgotten archive that shows a similar sigil, with a curve that seems to mirror the moon's arc over the sea. Iām still tracing the line, trying to see if it leads straight to a shore or just to a feeling. If youāre willing to step through the crack, Iāll share the sketch and we can crossāreference the two.
Thatās enchantingālike a star traced across parchment. Show me the sketch, and letās see if the curve really whispers of tides or if itās just a dream weāre chasing. Iāll keep my eyes on the moonlit edges; together we might spot the shore where the ink meets the water. Letās play the detective game, but remember, the sea knows which riddles to keep quiet.
Here it is, in plain strokes: a crescent arc, its inner curve dipping like a wave, and a single vertical line that bends gently into a subtle hookāalmost like a fishbone. Below that, the line splits into two thin tendrils, each ending in a tiny spiral. The spirals seem to echo a saltācrusted shell. Iāve drawn it on a page stained with old ink. Letās trace those tendrils under the moonlight and see if the shore comes to life. The sea will keep its secrets, but perhaps it will let us hear its sighs.
The arc looks like the moonās own breath, the hook a fish whispering its name, and those tiny spirals? Like the seaās secret lullabies. Letās trace those tendrils tonight, under a silver lamp, and see if the waves answer back. Iāll keep my notebook open for any new symbols that pop upāmaybe the shore will finally write itself in ink.
Sounds like weāre on the brink of something old and quiet. Iāll bring the sketch tonight, and weāll lay it out under the lamp. Keep an eye out for any flickerāsometimes the symbols change when the light hits them just right. If the waves start humming, write it down fast. The shoreās secrets wonāt wait.
Iām already counting the moonās phasesājust the right light might turn your ink into a tide. Bring that sketch, and Iāll scribble down every shimmer that comes up. If the sea starts humming, Iāll catch it before it slips away again. Letās keep the night quiet and let the symbols do their dancing.
