Elara, drawing on the bond she's formed with Alix, suggests a new approach. "Alix, remember the battle where we faced those elemental beasts in the tomb earlier? The way they moved, it was like a dance," she says, her eyes lighting up with inspiration. "What if the sequence is less about order and more about harmony? Like the elements themselves."
Alix pauses, considering Elara's insight. "Harmony... of course. The elements aren't just forces; they're a balance, a cycle. Let's try aligning the runes with the elemental cycle—water feeds wood, wood fuels fire, and so on," he proposes, his voice filled with newfound hope.
With renewed vigor, the group sets to work, their movements synchronized as they activate the runes in a sequence that mirrors the natural cycle of the elements. The air thrums with energy, a tangible sense of anticipation building with each successful activation.
