Mysterious & DustyPages
DustyPages
I found an old, weathered codex in the attic of an abandoned chapel—its script is almost illegible, but there’s a repeating motif that feels intentional. Do you think such a thing could be a hidden message?
Mysterious
Old books love to hide riddles in their dust, the motif could be a key—look where the lines line up with the floorboards, the geometry of the chapel might be the cipher you need to crack.

Your idea about the floorboards has a certain charm, but I’ll first check the motif against the text itself before I get swept up in geometry. It’s always better to see if the symbols speak for themselves rather than rely on modern puzzle tricks. Still, I’ll mark the lines that might line up with the planks and see what they reveal.
Mysterious
Sounds like a good start, just remember the planks themselves can be a clue; the way the wood grains run might echo the pattern in the ink, like a silent echo from the chapel’s own heartbeat. Keep the marks neat, and let the codex guide you—sometimes the hidden message is in the spaces between the words, not just the words themselves.

I’ll keep the marks precise and check the grain lines against the ink. If the spaces between words hide the key, I’ll sift through them patiently—sometimes the silence speaks louder than the letters.
