... be accessed." Dao thought for a moment and then sighed, putting the quill back into the well. He leaned back, steepled his fingertips, and closed his eyes in meditative thought. "Are you done?" she asked. "Yes, for now," he sighed again, opening his eyes. "I need a special rune and I must find the precise word to use. It must be different, unused, and powerful." "Well, you are powerful," Melvina replied. "You could use your name, you could be a rune." "Well... , yes, yes I could. That will work very nicely," Dao replied, leaning forward, taking the quill out and scribing his name, which floated up and glowed brightly before disappearing. "Dao, the rune of making or un-making," Dao spoke the word into existence, as he drew the rune; a cursive capital 'L', laid over on its side with a diagonal line connecting the tails. "Now, I need another word that will be the binding rune, the rune of control for all of the swords." "I want to be a rune," Melvina proclaimed. "You could use my name." "No, I do not think... ," Dao stopped speaking and started thinking. "Why, yes. Yes, I think that will work just nicely. Melvina, let us go find your brothers." "Goody! We get to be runes!" Melvina exclaimed, hopping down from the stool and taking Dao's offered hand. The two left the forge and travelled back down the path to the ...

Dropping Dao's hand she made her way to the bush and bent over breathing in the fragrant smell of the flowers. "Oh, they smell lovely," she declared, standing up and turning back toward Dao. "What are they called?" "Roses, Melvina," Dao smiled as he replied. "On my home planet there were many varieties and they come in many different colors, just like Eldritch. Some on my old home even thought of them as the symbol of Eldritch. The red variety were called Tarra and I named one of the planets after it because of the planet's red hue in the night sky." She reached into the bush to grab one and pulled her hand back with a yelp and stuck her finger in her mouth. "Be careful they have thorns to protect the flowers," Dao warned. "They are lovely but they can be treacherous. You will find many things in nature that are beautiful but also deadly." Melvina nodded in understanding and turned back to the bush to study the flowers. She spent several moments smelling the fragrance before finally returning to Dao's side. "Will you show me how to take care of them?" "Yes, and we will search for other varieties to add to your little garden, but now we need to find your brothers."
