"It seems that Professor Babbling, in addition to assigning readings she feels are necessary to grasp a deeper understanding of ancient runes throughout different civilizations and time periods, has given each group a complex transcript to translate. Funnily enough when I compared our transcript with Theo’s, I noticed the slight variation of the rune for serpent, the x crossing over the straight line sat higher on his transcript than ours, so we quickly determined that his transcript was more Anglo-Saxon in nature, while I believe ours is Germanic using the Elder Futhark alphabet."
