Rune of the Day
Hagalaz-
And as I stared into the crystals’ surface, I saw beside me two beings of great power, wreathed in smoke and the wriggling roots of great trees. When they spoke, it was guttural and dark, and a chill had filled the room, darkness creeping in from the corners.
“Temper your chaos, lest you lose control,” said the creature on my right.
The creature, left, spoke at distance, tasting foul, “Your chaos is a gift-“
“-CURSE!” The creature right screamed in my ear, “And one that will see the ruin of all!”
“Chaos is not a curse, Brother,” says the great spirit left, “You can use it-“
The voice came closer, hot breath in my ear, “TO START A WAR!” I flinched back, but my eyes never left the surface of the crystal, fearing what I might see, “Get revenge on those who have hurt you-“
I began to imagine it- to see a world left to burn in the wake of my revenge, my pure chaos. A power surged up inside my chest, burning hot like the fires of a great forge. I felt anger deep within my bones, ready to wage this war the creature spoke of.
“WOLF!” I hear the cry like shattering glass in a cave. It’s my familiar, an Owl, pulling me from trance. “It’s time to focus on a different rune.”
