"Oh my Irene! "

I jolted awake, "Hyria, what's wrong!?"

"I've just realized... Well, you see, the witch here works with Lord Aphmau. She'll be hunted because of this whole debacle. "

I groaned, "We should have been more careful. This can't be undone. "

"That's what rattled me, because, on the contrary... it can. "

Before I could say a word more, I heard Hyria pull out her staff, starting an incantation.

"ጎነነሁክ ክጎ ዘጎፕጎጕቿ ክዐሁዪ ዘልጠቿ "

Now go

I put my eye to the cracks in the crate. From Hyria's box, shiny bubbles were streaming out from the openings. All of the colors of the rainbow moved about in the glossy orbs as they drifted up through the ceiling, heading nearer to the sky so far above.

"Wow, " I breathed, "What will they do, Hyria? They contain a sort of memory potion, correct? "

"Indeed they do. They will float above, and beyond to the island. There they will drop onto the villager's heads. This will erase all memories of us. And in doing so, save the witch's reputation, " She said, mischievously, "Some hundreds of years ago the bubbles were used as a method for sending messages."

"Incredible... "

I was so memorized that for a moment, I didn't even realize what I had done.

"Hyria," I started, "the language in strange tongue, how can it be that I understood every word of it without ever learning the language? It's just the same as the lettering on the orb. Surely, a language such as this could not be passed over by alternate universes. Right? "

"You understood? Hm. Yes, well sometimes this sort of thing can be passed on. It is rare. It usually depends on the person from this land. "

"Could it be possible that my friends can speak it as well? Am I the only one with such a close connection? "

"I will admit your connection does seem to be unusually strong," Hyria began, " but there is a high probability that the altars of the Divine too have this ability. This language...very few fluently speak it and even less use it as their conversational language. Its name is long forgotten. Nowadays people refer to it as the Witch's Rune.

"Instead, those here mostly speak English, although they call it 'Regional' because of how far the language spreads. "

Witch's Rune... Funny enough Hyria's a witch and the High Priest was not, but it was still passed to me. Although, his power must have been near a witch's level. People of power probably know forgotten tongues.
