Albatross Riddle Novels & Stories

'—With my cross-bow I shot the ALBATROSS. The Sun now rose upon the right: Out of the sea came he, Still hid in mist, and on the left Went down into the sea. And the good south wind still blew behind, But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariner's hollo! And I had done a hellish thing, And it would work 'em woe: For all averred, I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow.

“We’re with you.” Arla closed her eyes, repeating the riddle silently: "I rise from ash but do not burn." That’s rebirth. "I lead the lost, yet never turn." A guide… always moving forward. "My wings are seen in sky and flame." Wings in the fire, the air... "Speak my title. Speak my name." She breathed in deeply. Then she placed her hand over the tidepool and whispered: “Phoenix.”

The oracle stood from the seat again and faced the audience. "Thanks for your patience. There were several great answers, the correct answer to the riddle is -" “A eunuch who did not see well saw a bat perched on a reed and threw a pumice stone at him which missed." There was pin-drop silence then the sounds of conversations began to emanate through the hall. Anbir's hands gripped in anger. "The correct answer was given by Prince Aditya of Lorna." The oracle announced amidst applause from the audience.

Alban went on the boat with a few suitcases and his bodyguards. Then, the small naval ship departed from the Jones Island. Nathan kept paying attention to Hilda, but she seemed normal today. There was not much of a change in her. Nonetheless, he was still very worried. After Alban got on the boat, he kept looking through his telescope. A moment later, he seemed to have discovered something as he looked at Hilda and said joyously, "I see it!" She hurriedly asked, "What is it?" He gave her a dubious smile. "This area is called Shark Bay. There are a lot of sharks here."

Open the doors and put them down like the sick dogs they have become! The troop activated the firing mechanisms on their weapons, the corridor alive with pops and clicks, faces blanched with rapture and ignorance. Marcus smiled as the kids stood outside the hall doors, waiting for their comrades inside to let them in so they may fulfil their devout, yet despicable, duty. *** The Albatross was tousled upon the raging ocean, its prow lifting high into the air and then slamming down into the water, a fan of spray rising before being whipped away by the gale.

I fed her water and wrapped the blanket around her to keep her warm. The air suddenly shifted. It was like we were being watched. When I raised my head, I saw flocks of Ravens in the sky right above our boat. These ravens were no normal ravens. They were black with yellow eyes and ten times a normal Raven’s size. Something felt wrong, but I couldn’t tell what it was. These birds were not the type to be found easily on sea. Perhaps their habitat had been compromised, and they were immigrating. But that thought changed when night came and there were bats almost my size hanging down while I was about to drift off into sleep.

Rowan stepped in, his glare pinning Livia to the earth even more than Thalia’s hand had. “She made it through. That’s what matters.” Next came the riddles, delivered by Bryndis with a tone that could freeze sunlight.

Bryndis’s eyes glittered. “First riddle: ‘I am not alive, but I can grow; I don’t have lungs, but I need air; I don’t have a mouth, and I can drown. What am I?’”
