 		[PARTIALLY SOLVED] [PUZZLE]Level Four: Leo
- finding our way down the long hallway
The cells of those that have completed their third task have been updated to say,
Quote:
Kneel down, Miles.

Wrap a blindfold over your eyes.
Allow me to bound your hands together.

I offer you this crown on the tip of my sword, Miles.

I am placing this crown upon your head.


With one stroke I am liberating you from
the bondages of the material world.

Place your new crown on your shoulder, Miles,
and repeat these words three times:


"Mithra is my only crown"


Which leads to the blogspot:
http://mithraismyonlycrown.blogspot.com


Quote:
I CROWN YOU MILES
Then, one could see the Charlemagne of iron,
with his head covered by a iron helmet,
his arms bearing iron protectors; in his left
hand he carried an iron lance, and in the
right his always victorious steel sword. His muscles
were covered with iron plates, and his shield made of pure iron.

When he appeared, the inhabitants of Pavia cried
out with fear: O, the Iron Man! O, the Iron Man!
O, the Iron Man!


Which, in turn, leads us to our next assignment at:
http://otheironman.blogspot.com

Quote:
TO WEAR THE LION'S RED GOWN

To step up to the next grade, Miles,
you must shake off the ways of the servant.

As a full initiate, Leo wears the red gown
and holds the position of leader in this dark temple.

Leo will have certain privileges and responsibilities.

Leo will assist your Pater and tend to the flock.

Leo will also gain access to the glorious sanctuary.

Are you ready to wear the red gown of Leo, Miles???

Your next step is to prove yourself an adept within this dark and beautiful temple.

There is a long hallway to the sanctuary.

Can you make it down the long hallway?

Do you know where it begins?


Wow. Which in turn, leads to:
http://thelonghallwaytothesanctuary.blogspot.com/

Quote:
Can you find your way ? ? ?


With a new video, titled "Something Special."
Pictures of the hallway to the sanctuary, with a cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" playing. The words, "Are you Leo???" flash.

YT user: http://www.youtube.com/user/YourEidolon

ETA: If this was on the YT page earlier today, I didn't see it. Under Subscribers and Views, it says,
Quote:
This is not a task all will complete.
Good luck, Miles.


There's more to this...still no assignment.

 		Lyrics
I don't have a clue what to do with this part of the trail, but here's the lyrics to the song...Still no clue as to who is singing...Definitely not Nirvana. Very Happy

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
Its fun to lose
And to pretend
Shes overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

Im worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello (x 16)

With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

 		Any connection to any lyrics & the "Are You Leo???" flashes?

Any difference in the cover vs the original lyrics?

 		None that I can find...
The word "hello" repeats itself 16 times each time it's sung, and "Are you Leo?" flashes 18 times. (Chix, you were right...I recounted and had evidently missed one. Not hard to do!)

The only discernable difference I can hear in the lyrics is instead of "with the lights out, it's less dangerous" sounds like "with the light out, lesser dangers", but that could be just the accent of the singer. There's definitely an accent there, possibly not a native English speaker.

The last 20 seconds or so, it sounds like she's repeating "a denial", "I'll deny all", or something similar, which isn't listed in the lyrics for the end.

I can't find a band listed on Mr AJ's friends that has covered the song according to what's listed on those bands' MS pages.

 		Don't think it means much, but I'm pretty sure it's Patti Smith doing the cover.

 		The words show up about 18 or 19 times. I tried writing the lyrics being said as are you leo appeared. It may be wrong but here's what i got.

Out
It
Here
Entertain
Stupid
Contagious
Are
Entertain
Mulatto
Albino
Mosquito
Libido


I don't think this is what were supposed to do though seeing as sometimes the words show up twice during one word and they appear twice after the words have stopped.

 		I was wondering if someone could slow the video down to (gah) check for Morse code. Maybe the fast flashing is a dot, and the pulsing ones dashes, or vice versa; and the text "are you Leo???" indicative of where the letter ends.
I tried to do it, but it's too fast for me.

 		Driz, you are right - it *is* morse.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


If you slow down the video: Five flashes for DOT, one long pan back for DASH. The "Are you Leo?" separates the letters.

 		Just want to give October a huge hug!

Quote:
Now that you have reached the end of the long hallway,
recite to me, in any way you choose, the following words:


MITHRAS, God of the Morning, our trumpets waken the Wall!
'Eidolon is above the Nations, but Thou art over all!'
Now as the names are answered, and the guards are marched away,
Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day!
Mithras, God of the Noontide, the heather swims in the heat.
Our helmets scorch our foreheads, our sandals burn our feet.
Now in the ungirt hour—now ere we blink and drowse,
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows!

Mithras, God of the Sunset, low on the Western main—
Thou descending immortal, immortal to rise again!
Now when the watch is ended, now when the wine is drawn,
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn!

Mithras, God of the Midnight, here where the great bull dies,
Look on thy children in darkness. Oh take our sacrifice!
Many roads thou hast fashioned—all of them lead to the Light,
Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright!

This can be with music, picture, sound or some sort of arrangement of text.
Please note, Miles, you must somehow include honey on the hands and or
tongue within this recital.

Be as clever as possible, Miles.

Remember Mithras as well as Pater is watching
and deciding who shall move forward.

 		So, I'm working on the SSF (shhhh, I'm at work) and came across this in the Nymphus thread:

dashcat wrote:
Ok this is probably pointless but AJ says to have a cup of tea with sugar to seal the bargain. Isn't this the honey stage? Maybe if you have a cup of tea with honey in it you can bypass his phoney Mithras and connect to the real one I know the arguments. But just think of yourselves having tea and honey, and in Kona's case maybe being covered in honey.


[META](bolded was mine). Is this expected of me? Are you trying to give the shark some ideas? Wait, he'll probably think this up all by himself.[META]

 		I didn't say I would DO it, just that he would probably think about it. Ask him yourself this afternoon - he'll see the page on the computer and might show up in the chat room.

 		Honey on the Hands
From the Initiation of Leo
Just to give some background on the requirements of honey (since we're on the subject, hehehe...)

Quote:
When those who are being initiated as Lions have honey instead of water poured over their hands to cleanse them, then are the hands kept pure of all evil, all crime and contamination, as becomes an initiate. Since fire is purifying, the fitting ablution is administered to them, rejecting water as being hostile to fire. And they also cleanse his tongue of sin with honey.


From this source.

Kona - you *know* Eidolon is thinking dirty thoughts about you and honey. Twisted Evil
