The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Kiernan Thom is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

Under the Sea
