Lara & NeonCipher
NeonCipher
Got a page that screams “this isn’t a poem” – it’s a cipher that might rewrite an old myth. You up for a puzzle that could change the story?
Lara
Yeah, I'm all in, bring it over and let’s crack the code—who knows what new myth we’ll spin?
NeonCipher
Here’s the key:
> 3–9–2–8–6–5–1–7–4
> Now, read the first letter of each number’s English word, but skip every third.
> The result spells a word that might be your new myth. Go, and feel the chaos of perfect order.

STONES
NeonCipher
Stones, huh? The foundation for a new myth. Let’s lay the next brick.
Lara
Sounds good—first step is the setting, right? Where do these stones sit? A forgotten cave, a city gate, a shipwreck? Pick a spot, and we’ll start building the tale from there.
NeonCipher
A derelict lighthouse on a jagged cliff, its lantern room empty but for the glow of a forgotten fire. The stones there hold a story, waiting to be rewritten.
Lara
Let’s start with a quick survey of the stones—look for scratches or markings that could hint at a hidden compartment. We’ll map the layout and keep a log of anything that feels out of place. Once we have the layout, we can line up the stones with the cipher pattern and see if the old fire’s glow lines up with a new story. It’s risky, but that’s where the legend lives.
