A scene
The First Age inscription in the vaults of the Atlantis Historical Society had defeated three scholars already. The wizard Andros did not simply sit down and start. He lit incense, washed his hands, laid out his pens in a particular order, and chanted under his breath for ten minutes while the curator tapped his foot. Then he began to translate. His mind felt keen and steady, the odd glyphs a little easier to tease apart than they had any right to be. By evening he had most of the text, and the curator had stopped tapping his foot.
