Peterson then entered the café in plain clothes and saw the partners. “Just the people I want to see,” she said.

“Have you heard more about the critic?” Quinn asked.

“I’m afraid not,” Peterson said. “In fact, another of Lawndale’s radio personalities has gone missing.”

“That isn’t good news,” Daria responded.

“And who was this?” Joey asked.

“Oliver Langford. He’s Z93’s general critic,” Peterson said.

“So, he disparaged the play to?” Daria asked.

“Actually, he praised it,” Peterson said.

“But he mentioned it,” Quinn pointed out.

“More than once,” Peterson said.

“So, it may be someone who doesn’t like the fact that the Historia is being run by teens,” Daria said.

“So, Beck isn’t out of the woods yet,” Quinn said.

“Or it might be a competing theatre,” Daria said.

“That has been proposed,” Peterson said. “Not only the others in Lawndale, but also in Oakwood, Middlebury, and Cumberland. I’ll reach out to my friends in the departments there.”


“Probably need a private investigator to check out the other towns,” Daria said after Peterson had left.

“That would be expensive too,” Quinn said.

“I’ll talk to Mom about it tonight,” Daria decided.

“You mean, Peters, the guy who found Jenna’s mother?” Quinn asked.

“Yes,” Daria answered.

“I’d say, go for it, Daria,” Robert said.

“Normally I’d say wait,” Joey said. “But there’s a lot riding on this. Go for it.”

Freya and Alexia came out of the lecture. “So, what was that about an ancient manuscript, again?” Alexia asked.

“A history student came to me in the studio…” Freya started again.


“This obfuscation is obviously sophisticated,” Alexia said when Freya had finished.

“There’s a lot I’m missing.”

“Of course. I’ll help.”

“Really?” Freya asked.

“It’s still early in the semester,” Alexia responded. “Let’s go to the Library now.”

Freya nodded and skipped briefly as she lead the way.


Olivia was looking up references to the rune in Aurora’s history. “There is still a lot!”

“These things take time,” Talia said. “But even so, we need to know where the manuscript was taken.”

“Maybe there’s a clue in the rune map,” Janara suggested.

“Or maybe it’s a misdirect,” Olivia said. “That it’s in a building that was built during the Nordic Era or afterwards.”

“That’s a possibility,” Talia said. “Are you writing these ideas down?”

“I am,” Janara said.

“I’ll record them later,” Olivia said.


Freya lead Alexia to the area in the Ancient Section. “Here we are!”

She found Janara and Talia looking over several print outs.

“Morning, Olivia.”

“I’m Janara.”

“Sorry,” Freya said. “It’s that I didn’t actually see her yesterday.”

“How’s that?” Alexia asked.

“My usual visual overwhelm, and she wasn’t here when I did the actual investigation,” Freya answered.

Alexia nodded

“Speaking of. We have found something,” Janara said.

“What is it?” Freya asked with her usual bounciness.


Freya examined the rune and the overlaid map, both the visual and tactile versions. “I have seen this rune before.”

“Where?” Alexia asked.

Freya glanced at Alexia. “It was in a history class in high school.”

“Do you remember anything else?” Janara asked.

“I probably need to look it up again,” Freya said.

“I’ll come with you,” Alexia said. “Just as well we looked at the information Science Section last week.”

“We’ll go there first, but the information is certainly in the Nordic Section,” Freya responded.

“So, we go around and around the Library, that’s fine,” Alexia said as they left the area.


Janara sighed. Freya’s energy was slightly overwhelming. “We’re still not getting anywhere.”

“This will take time,” Talia said.

“Hopefully not too long,” Janara said.

Olivia then returned. “Where’s Freya?”


Freya and Alexia entered the Information Science Section. “Where would the directory of the Nordic Section be?” Freya asked.

“We find the outline of the Library’s expansion again,” Alexia said.

“Then look at what’s in the Nordic Section!” Freya said excitedly.

“Exactly.”


They soon found the book they had looked at the week before. “Here is the Nordic Section,” Alexia said, “marked in yellow.”

Freya looked. “Nordic Languages, Linguistics of Auroric. Nordic Runes…”

“There,” Alexia said as she took out her tablet. “Row 13, Section Brynjar.”

“Got it,” Freya said as she jumped up.


The amount of shelves on the ground floor of the Nordic Section were intimidating to Alexia. There were far more than thirteen.

But Freya wasn’t. “Come on!” she said as she bounded into the area.

Alexia quickly followed her and could hardly keep up without running. “You really are full of energy, aren’t you?” she asked in a friendly way.

Freya giggled in response as she came to a brief halt. “Here it is.”

Brynjar – 13: Nordic Runes “No doubt there are lots of runes,” Alexia considered.

“True, but there are certain to be books about runes in general.”


It didn’t take Freya long to find such a book. “Comprehensive guide to Norse and Early Auroric Runes, Auroran Edition.”

“You can get an Auroric edition if you want.”

“I can translate it, but I’m sure it’ll be the same as the Auroran.”

Alexia shrugged. “Maybe it would be slightly more in depth.”

“I was going to get it anyway,” Freya added as she grabbed the Auroric version.

They found a reading table close by. Freya gave Alexia the Auroran version, while she opened the other.


“Here it is,” Freya said after a few moments. “It says that it’s said to offer protection.”

Alexia looked at it too. “So the question is, why a protection rune that matches the layout of the university at the start of the Nordic Era?”

“No idea,” Freya answered. “But I’m seeing it with a green tint here. Green has always represented Aurora’s land.”

“Like on the flag?”

“Exactly.”

“But there was no way they would know a synesthete would see it that way,” Alexia said.

Freya stood up and fidgeted. “That’s true,” she sat down again. “It could have been any colour, tone or texture.”

“But the green of Aurora’s land may be important.”

“Still, the rune and the map.”

“I may need to look at the plans of those buildings,” Alexia said.

Freya jumped up. “Let’s go,” she said as she grabbed the book she had been looking at.

“But maybe we need to check in with the others.”

“Sure.”
