HOL Ravenclaw

The search was intense with excitement and nervousness due to the mystery of it all.

After a few hours of looking around together, you finally found it. The group looks at the artifact in awe as you hold it in your hands carefully. It’s difficult to process that what you have all been working hard for the past weeks is now here in your grasp.

The committee has done it.

Task:
Create a collage of the artifact. The artifact is up to your interpretation, so feel free to choose any! Please keep your images within 600x600 px.

Alternatively, write at least 100 words about the artifact that you found which managed to solve the problem. What was it? Where did you find it? What does it look like?

This task is worth 10 beans. You can earn an additional 10 bonus beans for completing all Week Four tasks by Friday, May 31st, at 11:59 PM (HOL time).

The artifact I found was a sort of crystal prism with strange markings. It was in the most unexpected of places, in a cavern wall wedged in a crack. It was hard to see at first and I only managed to notice it when one of my mates had shined their light on it accidentally, and even harder to obtain because of the height it was sitting at. I had to jump on my friend's shoulders to try and pull it out and after several attempts, I managed to pull it out. It was quite a sight, pretty like any gemstone, but what was quite cool about it was the fact when light was shone through it, it created a projection in the room around it of the solar system and constellations you can usually see in the night sky.

The artifact is a small, intricately crafted sphere that fits comfortably into the palm of your hand. It's made of a smooth, translucent crystal that shimmers with an ethereal glow. The orb's surface is cool to the touch and has a faint, ever-changing light that pulses gently, mimicking the rhythm of a heartbeat.

Embedded within the orb are tiny, star-like specks that sparkle with various colors, from deep blues and purples to bright whites and silvers. These specks are arranged in intricate constellations that seem to shift and realign themselves whenever the orb is moved.

Encircling the middle of the orb is a thin, silver band engraved with ancient runes and celestial symbols. The runes glow faintly, illuminating the symbols and adding to the artifact's otherworldly appearance.
