Upon entering saw a great set of black stone inscribed with a circle recess See rubbing "Rubbing",
Above this recess was the symbol of a smiling women: "Smiling Women Rubbing"
With no way of opening the door they decend down into the silvery mists.
Text taken from second level hidden on the wall (First appears to be a well written prose or puzzle, but then the same phrase appears over and over again in increasing less legible scriblings)
Looking at my serpentine greatness, you might wonder, which?
First, set the darkest scales of night
Second, the one that’s not just an itch
Third, trusting the safest of bites
In the maw of my darkness is the switch
Red against yellow kills a fellow, Red against black, safe for Jack
...
Red against yellow kills a fellow, Red against black, safe for Jack

O Rudius, grant humble chorus leave To sing the song which hails the zenith of Your accursed, thrice-blessed Apotheon; Remember'd best by deeds of war, and yet Whose acts were driven oft by fate most foul.
His kindly brow bore gifts form gods of change, And art, and moon, yet in his soul was pain, The suffering of your vermilion light Drove the paragon to a desert realm Bestrewn with blades and drenched in crimson blood.
So bear, O moon of cursed deeds and fates! The song of he who rose above your great And mighty pow'r, to save Exandria From flames of war fanned by the Ruiner's blade.
