Standing atop the platform leading to the Gate, I crossed my arms and examined it thoroughly, putting on the act that I was merely checking the authenticity of my translations.
One of the few things that weren't broadcasted about the Gates themselves was the fact that if you were fluent in reading runes, you could basically figure out everything about what lay beyond the energy barrier by simply reading the near living etchings printed on the Gate's Metallic exterior.
It was by no means an easy feat, though, as even I struggled to do so, thanks to the fact that the runes were not only tiny but also constantly shifting and moving around, making it damn near impossible for a normal person to read them.
