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!
Luxinia
Sorry Nyx, I’m a little lost. How does combining colours help us get through this chamber?
Tavi
Wait a second… the lock!
Nyx
Exactly! Tavi’s got it.
Tavi
Take a closer look at the letters repeating across the lock! That’s what clued me in.
Luxinia
ROYGBI… Is that another kind of code?
Baelia
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet… They are all the colours of the rainbow!
Nyx
You all catch on quick! I think we can open that massive lock around the pillar by mixing our colours correctly.
Baelia
I’d like to help with this one!
Tavi
Ha, look at you, B! What’s got you so fired up?
Baelia
I think a colour puzzle sounds fun is all. Reminds me of the novas flying through the sky back home…
Tavi
Well, I’m just happy to see you excited. Let’s solve this together.
Luxinia
I can try to lend a hand too! I’m pretty good at matching colours, although I’m not sure if that will help much here…
Juni
Yip yip!
Nyx
Thank you, all of you. Together, I bet we will solve this puzzle just as fast as the last one!
Passage Puzzle
The second Passage Puzzle was a colour mixing conundrum. This type of puzzle involved mixing the colour splotches to discover the answer to the pillar lock mechanism. It also served as a test of strength (that Nyx cleared nearly single-handedly)!
Answer: Mixing the colour splotches correctly revealed they were Violet, Indigo, Green, and Orange. By taking the first letter of each colour in the order they appear around the pillar, Nyx and the group were able to determine that the code to the lock mechanism was “VIGO”.
