Nick dug around the snow in search for a small piece of the mysterious black stone. He ocassionally rubbed his hands to remove the cold that came with burying fingers into the frost.

It took a while before he found something. He was about to give up when he got his hands on a black stone. "[color=skyblue]Yes![/color]" Nick congratulated himself. He then-- Wait. This was not the same as the mysterious stone. Taking a closer look at it, he found that there were slight differences to it. Whereas the black stone was... stone, this one was more like glass. It was flat and shaped like a diamond. Inspecting it some more, Nick found a hole carved on top and an unknown letter in its center. It was of the same alphabet as the ones on the monuments but that gleamed little information.

Other than that, there was nothing to it. Except that Nick felt safe holding it. He should bring that up to whoever's an expert on this.

Nick heard [u]Augusta[/u] and made his way towards her and the black stone slab. Indeed, the swirling patterns engraved on the slab had glowed with a radiant blue color. "[color=skyblue]Whoa. Well, isn't that something.[/color]" Nick was getting excited too at this development.

"[color=skyblue]How'd you do that?[/color]" Nick asked. "[color=skyblue]Whatever it is, keep doing it. Maybe it can tell us something.[/color]" Hold on, Nick checked what he was feeling. No strange, anxious feeling. Alright then, this was probably safe.
