After packing up camp and heading up, they reach their destination only an hour north.

The tomb is just a little off the road, a massive door with intricate carvings around the frame in an unknown script. The characters in the script are made up entirely by straight lines. Given that straight lines lend themselves well to carving, it may indicate that whoever created this script was used to carving in stone. The door looks like it will open, as the hinges are intact, but it's ridiculously heavy and will need a lot of people to pull on those big carved handles.

Heave ho?

How strange. Maybe the deeper we go in... we can get some of our powers back.

I hope so.

[she looks around, frowning.]

I have so many questions, and I feel I'm going to get many more.

All we can do for now is move forward.

That's right. I must admit... even if it is a bit scary... it's kind of exciting. Back home, I never left my town, but here, I keep going on so many adventures.

I've been on adventures before. Never without my magic, though.

I recently got my magic back. The castle changed what I had to lose. I was hoping I could be of more help now that I got it back, but it looks like I still have to wait to be able to help.

Perhaps you can help in non-magical ways?

I have been trained in how to use a sword, during my stay here.

At the very least, it'll give any enemies a surprise.

That's something.

How about you? What are your other abilities?

I'm very good at solving puzzles.

Oh, that's wonderful! I'm glad we have a genius on board.

[beams] Thank you.

You're welcome, dear. I'm certain we'll need your smarts to get through this.

I'll do my best!
