The puzzle was perplexing, all the more so because Maea couldn't actually make out all the letters of the cipher. Between her poor vision and near illiteracy, it was only with Kristopher's vocal aid she could discern the word written on the wall.
She flinched at the sizzling sound when electricity discharged from the pattern, and though she remained wary of the man - especially after the encounter a few nights ago - she still felt a pang of concern that he had been hurt.
"Are you alright? I think..." Squinting at the pattern, she only saw the faint outline of a circle at the outer edgesof the pattern. With trembling fingers she reached out, bracing for lightning to eat at her too... and traced quickly along the outline of the design. A circle to connect all the snakes, as efficiently as she could think of.
_______________
Maea traces a circle around the outline of the pattern.
