21 Rune Power and Traps

After seeing that he will have to face a magical beast to finish his mission Adrian was initially afraid but he took courage after he knew he could not win face to face so the only choice is to attract the beast in a trap.

He spent the day looking around the 3 territories, two of them were probably cave with a subterranean lake bringing the particles necessary for the growth of the orchid, the last was located near a lake with a large space open, he immediately dismissed the last for obvious reasons.

Then between the two caves there was one occupied by a bear and the other by a wolf and his pack that were just banal animals. He decided to go against the bear but there remained a problem, the type of particle that the bear has to absorb, earth particles, the earth particles boost his defense and his strength, a big problem for Adrian who had not even not if his arrow could pierce the skin of the bear.

The only way was to test on a non-mutated bear. he searched for a few hours before finding one. A Brown Bear doing at least 2 meters with regard to the weight he made at least 300 kilos. The bear was marking its territory by scratching a tree to leave its mark.

Adrian took an arrow in his carquoi, more precisely an enchanted arrow, he put it in position, he said while murmuring "Feln-Trae" the arrow started to lightly shine and he shot aiming at the head of the bear.

The arrow was so fast that the bear did not have time to react to the sound of the arrow flicking through the wind.

The arrow lodged in the skull of the bear but did not stop and crossed his skull as if the arrow was piercing a sheet of paper, the bear collapsed, Adrian was amazed by the power of the arrows but noticed in Fetching the arrow that it was totally destroyed only the tip was intact, the impact had destroyed the entire structure of the arrow.

He looked at the bear whose head now had a small hole at the entrance of the arrow and a gaping hole where the arrow from the skull sloughing the left eye in mush, his brain completely exposed and the The smell of the blood made him dizzy and a slight desire to vomit, but he restrained himself.

It was not the most pleasant experience, but he had to extract the blood from the bear, the blood of animals could serve as much more effective ink for the construction of runes related to the element such as earth and metal.

He had several small pots with him, he began with the throat by making a small cut in the carotid artery, the blood began to flow but strangely no drop fell outside the pot, the rune "Solrn" (Absorb) was placed at the bottom of the pot so any object closer to the pot to be absorbed by the rune.

After a certain time he decides not to completely empty the bear to avoid being overloaded by the weight of the pots, he ends up writing the rune "Siln"(Preserve)and sealed the pots.

Now that he had seen the power of the runes he needed to place his trap, his father had already taken him to the hunt and had taught him that if you cannot kill a beast in one go you have to restrain his movements and then attack from a distance to finish the opponent with several arrows well placed.

But the question was how to restrain a beast surely weighing several hundred kilograms.
