Examining the runestones from a respectful distance, she glanced over to Hanzo. So he really didn't know everything about these lands. Why that surprised her was beyond her. Flicking her gaze back to the looming rocks, she felt a sort of unease nestle into her. Stepping closer, she inspected the fading runes that emitted a soft glow. Covered in dirt and moss from being forgotten, she reached a paw out to uncover some of it. The glow lit from the moon above emanated brighter as she felt her ears fall back. Hanzo's comment was heard as she stole one more glance at him from the corner of her eye. He wasn't wrong. "In the far past, when furless predators on two legs roamed the earth, they would move rocks into these formations and etch these markings to ward off evil spirits. Similar to Nihon but in a different language," she let her paw continue to uncover more of the moss to reveal the deeply etched markings. "These are not the same as the ones back home. Not what we used in the mountains, but it was for a similar effect." Secretly, Tenshi wished she knew how to read them, but it was lost to her. Stepping back so that she was once more shoulder to shoulder with Hanzo, she admired the circle of smooth stones. |
