Yoral blinks. This was getting a bit more complicated than she had imagined it might. And creepy. Let's not forget that. ~I would guess the markings tell us directions. Either of you recognize them?~ she eyes them, but they appear to be foreign... or maybe upside down...? She walks around, but doesn't feel she understands them any more than the first glance. But she couldn't really read, either. Not that she was about to admit that...  Maybe she'd be more help over by the torch... She walks carefully in deeper towards that end. |

*Mina senses Yoral's worry and gets from her eyes the writing. She says only to her:*
~The symbols are in Shianta. Oso is east, jeai is south, dela is west, and banai is north. You're looking for the one that most resembles large chunky humanoid sunglasses.~
*When the other two look closely, the object appears to be a large piece of flint in the shape of a blazing sun. Perhaps they should strike it with something?*

Soran tilts his head from one side to the other...
~erm, i don know these symbols... maybe they're in Origin Tyshiri? i only know the Gl'Mystican Tyshiri... either of you know it?~
he says after a moment; not having heard Mina's mental send to Yoral.

Mostyn gives a confused glance to the symbols as well, then looks up at Yoral with a shrug.
As for the object, he walks over to it and cautiously extends his muzzle to sniff at it.
~Hmm,~ he ponders, and then slowly extends a fore-talon up to it. Leaning his face back a bit, he flicks his talon a bit, scraping it (fairly lightly) across the object.

Soran flinchs expecting maybe a fire ball instead of a spark type of thing to happen... ~this place gives me the creeps... all this mystery and magic creeping over and under and on top of us... i think we best go lightly and keep sharp.~ |

Yoral thanks Mina silently and pictures sunglasses in her mind. She had seen them once, and thought they were quite odd, especially when Cynther tried to fit them on her head...
Anyways. She looked and found the one Mina had mentioned. ~Hey, guys, I think we have to turn him to face this one.~ She points at the symbol with a hoof.
~One of you want to help me?~

*if Mostyn flicked his talon fast enough, he would see a small spark fly from the sun shaped flint.*
*and when they go to move Sparrow, they find that he moves surprisingly easily for a huge chunk of ice.*

Soran nods and comes to stand beside Yoral ~whenever you're ready to pull/push give the signal.~  |

~Okay then, Soran, on the count of three... one, two, three,~ she pushes on one edge, and almost falls over because it moves so easily.
~Whoa...~
Yoral blinks a bit and then eyes Mostyn. ~Hey, what're you up to...?~

Soran has to scramble not to fall in a heap on top of Yoral when the block moves unexpectedly easy.
~oof~
~well...... that was easy... need any more help getting squished?~ ^_^;

Mostyn turns to look as they move the ice block, having been rather distracted with the object.
~Well.. hmm, look, I made a little line on this stuff and... it reminds me of...~ he mumbles slightly, obviously still meandering around his thoughts. ~Oh! I think I've seen something like this.~ He raises his fore-talon again. ~Watch this!~
He strikes more quickly at the object, and ducks out of the way of the spark. ~See? Fire! We have something like this back in my realm. Hmm...~
He reaches out for the torch with one talon, and brings it close to the flint, striking at it in a few more attempts at getting it to light.

Yoral looks quite surprised. ~And here I thought we were going to have to run off somewhere to find the 'sun' to bring the fire to the torch...~
She eyes the object. ~Looks kind of like flint. But its definitely sun-like, anyways. I hope this works!~
She watches Mostyn intently, wondering if this will be the move that completes their challenge...

*The torch blazes into life, but nothing seems to happen just yet.*

Yoral watches and notices all the stuff hasn't worked yet... and thinks back to what Mina said once again.
Turn him around to face the North
Find the sun to light the torch
Bring back life to what remains
Then shall you see the world unfold'
So they'd turned him to face North, lighted the torch... how were they gonna bring back life to 'what remains.'
~Hey, guys, we've got to 'bring back life to what remains' and then we should be done... but I'm not sure what that means, really. Any ideas?~

Mostyn shakes his head. ~I'm not sure... perhaps we just need to wait a bit? Or... hmm.~ He glances from the torch to the symbols to the block of ice, before walking over to the block to poke it gingerly, before shrugging. ~Dunno...~
