“Can’t say I do, though mine may not be as obvious. Given how both your powers are applicable to this problem though… I hope I figure it out soon if I have one.” While Rena went about identifying more objects, Valair instead stood still and tried to puzzle out what he might have been given on the way here. He didn’t really manage to get anywhere with that line of thought before another discovery by Rena seemed to give the three of them the final piece of the puzzle. It wasn’t a particularly hard one with Rena’s powers, but he shuddered to imagine how long it would have taken someone without that very specific ability.
Nonetheless between him and Adam, the two of them managed to shift the statues around until they sat over the matching sigils. He handled the lighter of the three; boron, titanium, and iron, and only just managed to move the iron rifleman statue in place as Adam set the heaviest of the six in place.
Yet when he opened the door, it was to the same result without any change. Valair tried a few times from either side before he stepped back with a frown and examined the piece again. Evidently somewhere along the way the three of them had messed up. “Huh…” he muttered as he approached the door and examined the top of its frame. He wasn’t sure how he had missed it the first time, but there was a distinct imprint that looked like one of the sigils would fit in just right. That probably meant that one of the sigils was supposed to go in then, but how to figure out which one? “There’s a slot for one of the sigils to fit inside on the door,” he called out to Rena as he returned to examine each statue in turn again.
It wasn’t immediately obvious, but he noticed the symbols on the floor just in front of each statue after a few moments. “Hey, Rena. Think you can match these to the big chart over there? Might tell us which statue belongs where.” Afterwards he walked around the room and touched each statue again on a hunch. He must have missed it the first time around, but with the mindset that he likely had a power that could contribute to this puzzle, Valair could feel it if just faintly. It was subtle and barely noticeable, but he could feel a slight tug within himself as he touched the cold surface of each carving. Eventually after a few cycles, he placed his hand on the statue and nodded. The tug he experienced with the other statues definitely wasn’t present with this one. “I think I’ve found the sigil that goes in the door,” he called out to the others again, “any luck with those symbols Rena?”
