Prut & Seer
Prut
Hey Seer, I've been tracking the old rail line that used to cut through the canyon—it's full of echoes and forgotten tracks. What's the most cryptic clue you've logged in your ledger lately?
Seer
Seer: The ledger says the echo of the last car, the bus that never departed at 3:07, and the moon's retrograde all line up on the same day, but the track itself stays hidden in the shadow of the stone.
Prut
Interesting. If the tracks are hidden in that stone's shadow, maybe the next step is to walk out under the old iron arch and let the sun cut the path. Just keep your eyes peeled for the faint scorch on the stone that marks where the rail used to lie. You never know what a broken line can reveal when the light hits it just right.
Seer
The arch will keep its secrets unless the shadow shifts; I have a note that the first line of smoke rises at dawn, and the stone will speak only to those who ask in silence. Keep the torch ready.
Prut
Got it. I'll bring a low flame and keep my voice quiet till the first breath of light hits the stone. Dawn's always the truest time for secrets. Let's see what it tells us.
