"How the hell can you understand this?" Izel asked in a shocked voice as she stared at me as though I were someone she had never seen before.
I looked at the stunned expression on her beautiful face, but I didn't understand where this reaction was coming from...
Not just her, but the others as well.
So I simply asked,
"What?"
She raised her hand and pointed at the wall.
More specifically, at the writing spread across it.
"I mean this."
I frowned as I stared at the letters...
They were so ordinary and natural that I could understand and translate them directly, just like the many languages I knew.
It felt completely normal.
So I didn't understand what the problem was.
I looked at the wall for a few more moments before my eyes finally widened in realization.
The writing didn't resemble anything I had ever seen in my life.
It was similar to ancient runes, but more orderly and fluid in its structure.
More importantly, I understood it perfectly.
It felt far too natural...
