Miss T.R.E.

Thanks Theo!

Another history lesson. Stories are important, and I suppose you should know something about the origins of the mysteries you will unfold.

There was one day that a man called Emer entered a forest. He wandered along the blue streams and slept under the night sky, always full of stars. In all the world, this forest was (and is) the most beautiful. Emer decided to stay.

The answer to this puzzle is a four-letter word. Letters are provided. This is a Glass Code. This one won’t be difficult, but Theo will appreciate it. Perhaps she’ll consent to a history lesson if written as a puzzle.

Lesson 1.1

C{3}des a{4}e d{5}fficu{6}t to crac{7}, are{8}’t t{9}ey? Th{11}t i{12} the intention of a {13}ode, after all; to kee{14} outsi{15}ers from having access to secret infor16}ation. The most {17}seful sorts of codes {18}ill require e{19}tra information to crack. It isn’t useful if anyone can fi{20}ure out the answer with a bit of work; you need a code that can only be cracked {21}y certain people. Let us call codes anyone can crack with work Glass Codes, and codes where outside information is necessary Stone Codes.

This one is a Glass Code. Everything you need is contained within this post. Solve. If you have the answer, submit it, preferably with a short explanation as to your method if possible.

You’re probably wondering, What now?

All of you have been invited for a reason. If you do not desire to participate at all, reblog this post and write I’m out. 

If you are reading a reblogged version of this post, whoever reblogged it did not want to participate. You may participate if you like; it would be wonderful if you would message me so I can update the list of participants. 

No specific amount of participation is required. I just like to know who’s listening.

If you do wish to participate, you may want to look for the others who have been invited. It may be easier to work together.
