The Runic Rainstorm

A dark cloud has settled over the region, raining droplets etched with glowing runes that briefly burn into whatever they touch. The symbols rearrange themselves into prophetic phrases that predict small misfortunes—and people are starting to act on, or try to outsmart, their fates. Decode the shifting runes, find the ritual that summoned the storm, and decide whether the prophecies should be silenced.
