Riddles and Puzzles.
Back fresh from a long journey to the deep reaches of Thera, I am pleased and
honored to be entertaining you with a few riddles! Some of them I am quite sure
will be brain busters, and others will be quite simple. However, if nay of you
wish to truly test your wit, scribe to me a note, and if you have answered all
the riddles correctly, your great intelligence shall be rewarded! Have fun,
and good luck.
A metal neither red nor black.
Heavier than mans golden greed.
What you must do to stay ahead
Of friend, arrow and steed!
A man approaches you and says, 'Tell me the Truth and I shall slay you
with a Sword. Tell me a Lie and I shall slay you with a spell'. What
Must you say to stay alive?
Eternal flame renewed
Dust to dust, Ashses to ashes
Arise from from fire flashes
Beauty un-seen and not matched
Ugly when first hatched.
Flowing power, colored of Night
Stalking prey as if Divine Right
Rippling across a liquid death
Claws that draw breath.
Never ending, truly always beginning
Watches the young grow fat, and the old thinning
From the first day to the Last
Future, Present, Always, Past.
Starlight beauty, hellfire scorn
Turns hardened warriors forlorn
Never truly leaves, always a part
Stays in the deepest of hearts.
This is in memory of the Late Umea Tristoc, who taught me so
many riddles of life.
