Mythran's Master Of All

Aimus got to the bottom of the ladder and turned around. “Ren!” Aimus unhooked his bow and quiver. “REN!” Aimus shouted, but there was no response. “Dammit, this is a bad idea.” Aimus said and went into the underbrush himself.

10 minutes later Ren passed between a couple of trees and felt some kind of energy crawl down his spine. It felt like he should run for his life. Something was going to get him! He stopped walking and visibly shook. “No.” Ren said and activated Serene State Of Mind. A calmness filled him and he could think rationally again. Ren walked back through the same couple of trees and activated Enchanted Eyes. All the trees glowed with enchantments. Ren activated Read Rune and Decipher and looked at the closest tree. A glyph unlike anything he'd ever seen before was burned into the tree. He couldn't make heads or tails of it; but, he knew that it was the cause of the irrational fear and need to escape that he suddenly felt. Ren used Dismantle Glyph consciously, reached out and touched the glyph on the tree. It shattered, but Ren didn't learn a new rune from it. He touched the nearby tree and dismantled that glyph as well.

With Serene State of Mind activated, he couldn't tell if destroying those glyphs had made any difference in the fear feeling, but he didn't want to take the chance that it didn't and kept Serene State Of Mind on. His mana fell at a much quicker rate with 4 abilities going, so he took out a mana potion and drank it. It refilled his bar, but since it was a constant drain it didn't help much. Ren jogged among the trees and touched each glyph in turn, cutting a path through the dense cluster of Terror Trees. Some were absorbed to keep his mana up and others were destroyed so he could try to learn something from it. At the 23rd tree, Dismantle Glyph finally worked to it's potential.
