They walked off towards the school building and I opened it.

She had her phone out, and she scrolled down the screen a couple of times while she examined them one by one. Nine ridiculous riddles. Each referencing some important moment in Rinaldi's relationship with his fiancée, Alyssa Berry. Each, theoretically, leading to a piece of the fortune. The Set had a handful of Rinaldi's old journals, and his well-loved atlas - which had proven to be an invaluable resource - but it wasn't enough. To people who knew little about Rinaldi's relationship with Alyssa, these were only pieces of clues.

I rushed to answer. - Yes… - Well, I see you got my riddle. - I did, what is next? - If you know Rita that well as you claim you do you will solve this and discover a place.

Answer that correctly and Rita gets water to drink, answer wrong, and…well you will find out at the right moment.

The stage was set for the final confrontation as the duel reached its peak. Thane's eyes locked onto Axel and Kieran. "Here are your three riddles. Answer them, and you may leave with your pride intact. Fail, and you will never bother Lunar pack again." “Riddle One.” Thane began. "I am always coming but never arrive, I have a head, but never hair, I have a bed, but never sleep, I have a mouth, but never speak. What am I?" Axel's confident smile faltered. "A river?"

We rushed to the keyboard on the desk, typed a few keys, and a drawer popped open with another note. "'The more of me you take, the more you leave behind.'" I frowned. "A burden?" "No." "Debt?" "No." "Childhood trauma?" Creed gave me a look. "…Footsteps." "Okay, Mr. Genius, go on." --- The riddles just got worse. By the 30-minute mark, we were lying on the floor. "This is stupid," I groaned. "Who has fun doing this?" Creed leaned his head back. "People who like puzzles. Problem-solving."

Dustin tried to comfort his friend. “OK, you gotta promise me you won't laugh.” Aiden spoke. “I won't,” Dusty promised. Aiden sighed as he told his friend about the twins and losing a bet because he couldn't solve a riddle. Now he had to be going out with some chick he doesn't know. “What was the riddle anyway?” Aiden grunted, still couldn’t believe he was unable to solve this simple riddle. “"What comes once in a year, twice in a week, but never in a day. It also comes at the beginning of the end and also at the ending of time?”

THIRD PERSON POV He quickened his pace, stopping in front of a heavy steel door. A keypad blinked beside it, demanding another code. His phone buzzed again. Another message from the unknown number: “Final test. Solve this, or she dies.” Attached was a riddle: “I’m taken from a mine, and shut inside a wooden case, from which I am never released. What am I?” Mason’s mind raced. The captors were toying with him, but he didn’t have time to waste. He focused on the riddle, breaking it down.

Finally, he thinks of one. “I choose nothing between the two,” the prince replies. The strategist stays quiet maintaining eye contact with the prince. “The two signifies a contradiction. If there are contradictions, then there are lies. If so, then one or both weapons are lies. This riddle is not a matter of choosing the right weapon, but by thinking outside the box and from another angle.” “Splendid!” the strategist nods in agreement. “That was to test your judgment. You have fine judgment, my prince.”

I can’t spend an hour in school every day after it ends! “No, no. He has to be joking,” I muttered to myself just as Mr Mason lifted his eyes from the papers he was grading and smiled at me. I frowned in response and glanced at my surroundings. The other people in the library were Brett Martins, a guy who loved to tell immature jokes, and a guy and a girl I didn’t recognize.

“He would be more useful to us alive than dead. Now we have to spend hours solving a dumb riddle.” “The sun is coming up already,” Sebastian announced. “We don’t have enough time.
