E-E-E-Excuse me?! Are you asking, a pious priestess of the Divine, actually asking us to desecrate a sacred structure as this by removing the windows?! Lorelai could not help but scream in shock, frustrated beyond any reasonable measure with the sheer heresy of it all. The reverberation of her own voice off the stone walls did much in quelling her, replacing the outrage with embarrassment upon realizing the rudeness of her actions.
Just do it for Lady Eleonor...just do it for Lady Eleonor...Lorelai could have been praised for having perfect posture once upon a time, but there was a noticeable slump in her shoulders as she turned about to get a good look of the cathedral, forcing herself to perceive it purely from an architectural standpoint and within the context of the riddle.
Think of it like an enemy held fortress. Yes, a fortress you must breech to reclaim it, but do so in such a way that it is still standing when taken.Okay, what do we know here? First, we can't take everything literally. If we had to wait for the longest day of the year, we'd be waiting months on end for the stars to align, so...it must refer to the windows themselves.Like with most stained windows in places of worship, they served to convey the narrative of the faith as much as the holy texts and priests did, each pane a depiction of the Divine's legend etched into the glass.
"Perhaps we are looking for the glass pane depicting the longest day for the Divine herself...the slaying of the Great Beast perhaps? The creation of the Tomes and legend relics?"The knight scratched her head heatedly as teeth gnashed and mental gears ground together. She wasn't the most apt of person's with puzzle solving and were it not for the circumstances as well as her present company she'd have left this to Solanne and Eleonor.
"And...ummm...oh! You pray towards the alter so we should move the window to the front of the cathedral...I think."Lorelai felt like she should be walking into the confessional and sobbing out her sins against the Divine after the week she's had. The mental gymnastics weren't helping her situation when her forte was smashing obstacles with explosive force.
The abyssal knight hung her head and dropped into one of the front pews, holding her heavy brow in her gauntleted hand before lamely muttering.
"If this is all nothing more then a light puzzle, one could likely judge the trajectory without need to move the towering glass anyway." Without looking up she thrust a finger off to the side, picking a window depicting a benevolent Divine smiling down upon a world held in her hands while a life giving orb of fire and light rested behind her head like a crown.
"And look at the size of these panes! With but the three of us and no equipment, we'd surely fracture the wall length glass before it could even be used!"I wish Durgan was here. He'd have solved this for Lady Eleonor... She grumbled internally before slumping over in the pew, a bundle of misfiring nerves that struggled against the strain of the incessant blasphemy.
