Htaed: okeeee...so I'm back again, to those of you who are reading Manhunt, I'm working on the next chapter, but I have writers block! It's horrible! I can't think of anything!! Well, anyway, if you've read 'The Runestone Saga', you may find some stuff from the first, maybe second books in this story.

The Prophecy

Othala,
rune of ancestors,
rune that summons
wisdom of the past
lost, reclaimed.

Thurisaz,
rune of challenge
the enemy comes
she strikes
triumph!

Ansuz,
a mouth opens
wisdom given
like runes to Odin.

Raidho,
the journey
within without
flesh and spirit
one.

Pertho,
roll the dice
upside down
cheating and lies.

Hagalaz,
ice storm
fire bringer
lie ended
life begun.

Algiz,
stag and doe
sacrifices
to feed the tribe
beserker
sacrifices
to save the tribe.

Tiwaz,
oldest god
of war
of victory
a spearhead forged
when it strikes
justice!

Sowilo
the sun rises
night banished
lies vanquished
shining truth
rune to return
the lost soul!

The Verse Spoken By the Children

They're always near, yet never in sight.

They came first in a dream, and, finding
a way in, returned again and again.

Now they don't wait for sleep to come.

They're coming closer to us every day.

Soon they'll be us, and we'll be them.

And then what will we do?

What strange things will we do?

And that's the prologue...more soon.
