Chapter 9: Light at the End of the Tunnel
The gang tries to find a way through the mysterious door within the tunnel, but it seems to be locked by some kind of ancient device. This shortcut may not turn out to be as short as they were hoping!
Tavi
Lux, how did you do that? Was it your power?
Luxinia
Yes, this probably wasn’t what the creators of this puzzle had in mind for solving it, but I should be able to tell where these items came from.
Nyx
Should? But you just got that one! Why not the others?
Luxinia
As far as I can tell, my power only works on objects that have strong emotions tied to them. There’s no guarantee the rest of these do.
Luxinia
Plus, what I saw with that item was incredibly grainy and hard to make out. I’m guessing due to how long ago the memory came from. I honestly wasn’t a hundred percent certain I was right…
Nyx
Then why did you do that? We could have talked it over first!
Luxinia
I saw a storefront with sand all around it, so it seemed like a pretty safe guess.
Luxinia
Plus, we need to get out of here as soon as possible to save your brother, right?
Nyx
…Lux, thank you.
Luxinia
Well, also to save Altador, and maybe the world, and get out of the dark…there were a lot of factors behind my decision.
Tavi
Hahaha, well either way it worked out! But, don’t do that again!
Baelia
Yes, please don’t ever do that again. You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Luxinia
I won’t. I’m mainly worried if there can even be a next time. The other items seem a lot worse off…
Tavi
Even if you can’t make out much from them, I’m sure if we work together we can figure this out!
Baelia
It’s really the only option we have…
Juni
Yip, yip. Yip!
Nyx
I'm not sure... These could be hundreds of years old for all we know. Will we really be able to identify these based off Luxinia's visions? Tavi already mistook one land's item for another.
Tavi
True, but even if the items are from before our times, we’re a pretty well-travelled group. If we put our heads together we can determine where these items came from! There has to be some resemblance to what is around today!
Passage Puzzle
The third Passage Puzzle involved matching relics to the corresponding lands they come from. Although this puzzle seemed to be a test of worldly knowledge, the items had heavily deteriorated over the years, making them barely recognisable. Luckily, Luxinia was able to use her abilities to catch glimpses of where the items came from to help identify the correct lands.
Answer: By reviewing Luxinia’s visions and perhaps even glancing around Neopian maps, the group was able to align each relic with the land it belonged to.
