The stark difference between the first two steps into this project and the final one really threw them off. So much so that they didn't know where to start.
Cedric didn't give any further clues either. In his opinion, he already said what he had to say; the rest will be up to them. But before leaving them to their own devices, Cedric reminded them that they're not on a time limit; they never were since the beginning of this project.
They can take as much time as they want. If the end result takes them to the path of Ancient Chaos, then all of that time was well spent no matter who you ask.
Yet, while he reminded them of this in hopes of bringing them some comfort, it's debatable if it truly sounded that way to them, or to anybody who's participating in this project, actually.
