Status Updates From The Tale of the Obsidian Ma...

I like that they are different from the normal superheros.

Starting to get somewhere in our book

Reading with my kid

Translation work is very slow going. At least now that they're fighting skeletons I am mostly only translating "freezing spell" or "exploding spell" which are easy to figure out. The hard ones are the tiny writing on the maze walls, which talk about these mythological figures I don't think we've been introduced to yet.

Decoding everything takes so long...but it's worth it. I've been getting more subtle details about Bruno's story. Something more about the bird and the stone. And now I understand some of the old ones that got repeated in this volume.

I am translating the runes as I go and it's hard work. Some of them I almost need a magnifying glass. At least all the super important ones are big and easy to translate.
