Challenge page : http://www.ancientsocieties.com/fireplace/

The Challenge text says Cue the challenge!

Cue means the challenge is linked to billiard.

On the challenge’s picture, we can see colored flames and 5 words.
fireplace

The words are : Where?To?From? and Friend?Describing?

We can associate these words to the week challenges’ answers :
Day 1 : Where to Alice is WONDERLAND
Day 2 : To to Caterpillar is BUTTERFLY
Day 3 : From to Werewolf is MAN
Day 4 : Friend to Candlewick is PINOCCHIO
Day 5 : Describing to Power Ranger is MIGHTYMORPHIN

We can use billiard balls’ colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard_ball) to extract numbers from the flames’ colors.

Here are the flames colors :
Blue Red Orange Purple Yellow Orange Purple Green Yellow Blue Orange Yellow Purple Yellow Red Blue
And the billiard balls’ values are :
2 3 5 4 1 5 4 6 1 2 5 1 4 1 3 2

We can use the numbers in pairs : 2/3 5/4 1/5 4/6 1/2 5/1 4/1 3/2

Then we can extract letters using the numbers’ pairs as this : 2/3 : 3rd letter of 2nd word,
BUTTERFLY , the letter is T
Then :
MIGHTYMORPHIN
WONDERLAND
PINOCCHIO
WONDERLAND
MIGHTYMORPHIN
PINOCCHIO
MAN

The sequence is : THE COMPA

Let’s search for compa, we can find that it’s a short name for the spanish compañero (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=compa)

The solution is the translation of compañero : thecompanion
