The two men were able to properly reposition the statues without any noticeable issues,  it was then she really allowed herself to believe they're good as free. All the pieces were in place, the sigils were correct and so were the six standing statues, Vilair had the honors of opening the door for the first time. Yet nothing happened, Rena expected some flair behind their solving of the puzzle, no magic lights, or earth-shattering rumbling? From where she stood she clearly could see there was nothing within the doorway, it was still very well a door to nowhere, guess they really did mess up somewhere along the way. 

There was good news to be had, however, Valair quickly found their problem; there was a missing sigil, but this one needed to be in the door. Whats more it looked like they missed a detail about the statues, a rather tiny symbols that were carved just in front of every statue, how did they miss that? He suggested that she should try matching them with the chart... or something along those lines. Rena shrugged, not like they had any other real avenues to explore. 

It wasn't readily apparent, but close examination revealed similar symbols over a number of the tiles. A touch revealed that the elements were in fact hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, and carbon. Regardless whether the symbols were Aurora's words or numbers, it didn't matter as the realization hit her. After all those were the first six elements of the periodic table. They marked where each statue would go depending on how they were supposed to be ordered. 

Valair almost jerked his hand away from the statue of zinc as a faint whisper slipped amidst his thoughts. Yet he stood firm and tightened his expression to catch every last word the statue whispered to him. They certainly sounded like the information needed to bring this headscratcher to an end, and Valair swore it could have been a boy the statue had been based off that spoke to him. The voice certainly sounded young enough and when it fell silent, he glanced back to check up on Rena. 

To his surprise a ghostly visage that matched up with the detailed statue stood next to her by the wall, pointing out certain things he couldn’t quite see from here. Though curiosity wanted him to walk over, he remained squarely in place. He certainly seemed to be the cause of the boy’s appearance, and he would hate to cause its disappearance before it finished with Rena. He blinked in surprise when the boy seemed to direct a smile directly at him, and nodded at the whisper in his head. Normally concerning, but this whole situation was beyond outlandish to care about something like that. Given the boy's disappearance with the camera flash, Valiar removed his hand and glanced at Rena. [color=a0410d]“So what did you learn? Got told that his sigil is the one for the door.”[/color]

The longer she stayed here, the more convinced Rena was that this place was just... flat out weird. Whatever Vilair did it summoned a ghost? Maybe it was a ghost, but it looked just like Hatboy. It wasn't talking, if it was... well Rena couldn't hear anything, everything was getting weirder and weirder. Turns out Hatboy was extremely useful, and by useful he gave her the solution, at least for how to position the statues. Rena had the order down pat, forgetting it at this point would be beyond frustrating that's for sure. When Hatboy disappeared, just as suddenly as he appeared in the first place, she looked back at Vilair. [color=darkgray]"Well... he told me the order to put the statues in, so real good things here."[/color] 

[color=a0410d]"Finally then,"[/color] Valair muttered in relief as he clenched and unclenched stiff fingers. The cold was really starting to get to him and the others as well apparently, so a solution was more welcome than ever. Under Rena's directions, he and Adam adjusted the statues and sigils to match up with the appropriate symbols. 

He pocketed the zinc sigil first though. As the final statue slid into plate, he let out a tired sigh and trudged over towards the door. Though he had been left with the lightest of statues, they were still quite heavier than what he was used to on a day-to-day basis. The hatboy's sigil slotted into place rather nicely and he grasped the door's handle with a grin at the other two. [color=a0410d]"Now let's hope this works, otherwise I might actually flip."[/color]
