Words...
No. To be precise, there was a combination of symbols and pictures before Kieran.
The blood formed two big circles, one inside the other, an inner one and an outer one. In the middle, there was an abstract drawing that looked like a scorpion.
Kieran was not completely sure that it was a scorpion. As a matter of fact, he could not even tell if it was a real symbol or picture that was formed by the blood stain.
As for the words?
Kieran had never seen any words like these before. At least not that he knew of.
"What are these?"
Kieran looked at the gap between the two big circles. There were even more symbols there.
The line started with a pentagram and ended with an upside down pentagram. By Kieran’s calculations, there were about 41 of them.
