chapter 3: in which a deal is struck between heart and hearth

foxglove jamjar was in an unusual predicament. the puzzle before her was to translate images on the four pillars into any spoken language. the images on the first pillar began with an image of the world, followed by three human shapes around a simple fire. next was three lines stacked together, and some kind of wand. the final image of the first line of the pillar was a strange bowl shape—a flat line with an ovalled bottom— in the center a four pointed star.

looking at the second pillar fj saw the strange bowl repeated, and paired with a chalice on the second pillar. on the third pillar the chalice and bowl was seen next to a simple candle. the fourth, the previous three images were completed by the common symbol for salt.

“salt,” fj muttered to herself, and witnessed as the fourth pillar shimmered with the blue light, illuminating the symbol for salt all over the pillar.

fj gasped with surprise, and let out a laugh, “ahah! i got one!”

“you got one, you can get the other three,” the tongue responded, “ two and one half hours left.”
