Pavo Heart Game: Noctua's Grand Adventure

[cryovision]

When you enter the light, you find yourself hovering weightless in a void, as if caught in a moment of falling inertia. In the distance, you hear a voice that seems to shift and twist, familiar and yet unfamiliar.

"You shouldn't be here. But since you already are, let's make a wager. If you can uncover the truth, you'll find me. If you can't, you may be hopelessly lost... What a shame that would be."

You begin falling, and your vision blacks out--

[OOC NOTE: your goals are "reveal the truth" to "find the true heart". All images in toplevels are for general inspo, please make sure you read the flavourtext cause things are not exactly as they are in the images.]

...All right. Thank you.

[Inside the box is... your vision. When you touch it, you feel your usual powers returning to you.

There's also an oddly shaped tile bearing a map of the constellation Noctua. On the back a message is written in a slightly blocky, runic handwriting:

The elements know the truth of this world.]

I have to say, you vision bearers sure are lucky. Fighting aside, Elemental Sight makes life a lot easier.

Speaking of which... There's something I think you could help me with, if you don't mind.

[Aha. Settles his vision at his belt.]

Certainly. What do you need?

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

Uh... This switch over here won't turn on. Without it, we can't open the front door, so...

[He walks away a few steps, gesturing at a small, round plate on the wall. Around it are seven elemental symbols, and in the center is a light that's currently dark.]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[pyrodelusion]

All right. Let me take a look.

[Are the symbols also dark?

Well, regardless, activating Elemental Sight.]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[cryovision]

[With Elemental Sight, the state of the room seems to change a bit. There are a few cracks in the walls and floor, and you can hear a distant, strained creaking like a tree branch close to snapping. Elemental trails lead faintly to all the exits.

The symbols are indeed dark.]

Re: START: KNIGHTS' HQ

[pyrodelusion]

Hmm. I'll need to do more looking around.

[aaaand immediately going for the FAVONIUS CREST door]

[cryovision]

it goes exactly where you think it would.
