CHAPTER 324  RITUAL [2]

"And the last one."

I whispered softly, drawing the rune of 'Decay' onto the paper.

"The 24 'Root Laws' of reality—what we now call Runes."

Leaning back in my chair, I exhaled and glanced up.

Yennefer, Zenith, and Hannah stared at the paper, each reacting differently—Yennefer remained stoic, Zenith's eyes gleamed with excitement, and Hannah... she looked terrified.

Yennefer leaned in, her gaze unblinking. "Are you certain about this?"

I remained dumbfounded as her scent engulfed my senses.

Damn, she smells nice.

I swallowed hard before replying, "You can try it on your own if you don't believe me."

"Me! Let me try first!" Zenith practically shouted, snatching the paper before summoning her staff.

Perhaps Yennefer didn't believe my words; she kept quiet.

Her gaze solely on her daughter, ready to intervene if needed.

"Alright, what should I try first?" Zenith mumbled, squinting at the rune.

 "We already know about the six basic elements… Maybe I should attempt a conceptual rune—"

"Try the rune of Sound and the rune of Order," I instructed.

"Why those?"

"They're the easiest to control," I replied, looking at her. "And yeah, keep the sigil short so you don't blast away the room."

She pouted. "I'm not that stupid."

With a dramatic toss of her hair, she turned her focus back to the runes.

Her free hand idly playing with her staff—a habit I'd noticed before.

'I remember Yenna doing the same,' I mused, glancing at Yennefer.
