Rune Discovery : 「 Success 」
With meticulous care, you traverse down the cliffside to the best of your ability. Your paw slips once, and you suppress a yelp - but blunted claws and lean muscle manage to pull you back up toward the rock, and all you can hear is the ringing in your ears against the sound of the waves below. It's a nerve-wracking descent, not for the faint of heart, but your resolve proves stronger than your greatest fears as you carefully maneuver ever closer to your goal.
Find me, find me...
It pulses in your blood, echoes in your mind.
Close! Close...!
In an almost dreamlike trance, you don't recall the last part of your descent as you suddenly realize you've made it.
The alcove is small, but surprisingly deep. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you can spot something emitting a dim blue light in the far corner...
Using your paws to brush away dirt and untold years of debris, you're stunned to find a perfectly shaped stone tablet. Strange, glowing markings are scrawled across its surface, and a humming starts in your ears, then moves to your chest, down your spine, until all of your body seems to be filled with an indescribable electric energy -
The light the tablet was emitting suddenly ignites in a brilliant flash, and you're briefly blinded as a voice sounds in your head.
Your mind translates the words:
The voice fades, as does the light from the rune tablet, and you suddenly see a vine-covered opening toward the back of the alcove you hadn't noticed before. Surprisingly, it leads back up to the surface, saving you the perilous return trip across the cliff-face - has the tunnel really been there this whole time?
Whatever the case, all there is to do now is wait for... whatever it was the voice was muttering about.
Soon.

Laba rune!it thrums excitedly.
Ut kural - ut sinds! Fun fier drra, dre odrir an suf krose ali wakind elen nie - ut anir sepa lond, anir sepa lond... sin win sepa lialt ali lilt... wot fir dre kol...
Your mind translates the words:
A rune! It stirs - it sings! One of three, the other two so close to waking even now - it won't be long., won't be long... sin will be brought to light... wait for the call...
