Nygma Riddles Novels & Stories

The guardian stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the scrolls. "The next trial is the Trial of the Mind," he said. "You must solve the riddles within these scrolls to unlock the path to the Nexus." Marietta, Harley, and Seraphina exchanged determined glances. They approached the altar, each taking a scroll. As they unfurled the parchment, the words began to shift and change, forming intricate puzzles and riddles. Marinetta's scroll read: "I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have nobody, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?"

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. Then go to that place and there you will find, you will figure it put where, the million-point question. Answer that correctly and Rita gets water to drink, answer wrong, and…well you will find out at the right moment.

“What do you mean by that?” Nyra clicked her tongue and stepped back. Good. She had the spotlight on her now. “I don’t know. A slip of the tongue, I guess.” She shrugged slightly, but her eyes said otherwise. “Tell me,” Rheya hissed. “Don’t think I’ll let this slide.” “If I tell you, it won’t be a secret anymore.” “You–” “No.” Nyra cut in, daringly. “You’ll hit me? Seriously?” She blinked, feigning innocence.

The real trail vanished into fog as Nyxara withdrew. By the time the first panicked calls echoed through the consortium’s ranks, Nyxara was already in her kitchen, pouring herself coffee she had no intention of drinking. The ritual grounded her, kept her hands steady. In the room’s silence, she could almost hear the city’s pulse—a heartbeat that would soon skip, then race, as those in power realized something irreplaceable had been stolen.

Nia gasped through her tears, her body trembling harder. She whispered the riddle to herself, trying to think through the panic. Always hungry. Always fed… Her lips shook, her eyes squeezed shut. Then suddenly, she looked up, her voice breaking. “It’s… blood. The answer is blood.” Rowan’s eyes snapped to hers, then to Darius. He didn’t waste time. His hands flew to the other side of the bomb, pressing against another hidden slot.

Her eyes glowed and she called out to Clara connecting to her soul. "Clara wake up, Ragnor needs you," Nyaota said. "I am tired, I want to sleep," Clara whispered. "Clara, Ragnor will die if you don't wake up," Nyota said. "How do I wake up, when I am not asleep," Clara replied looking at her with a puzzled look. "Clara, look up at Ragnor," Nyota said and Clara followed her gaze and saw a small light. "That is Ragnor, if you don't wake up, the next time you look up, there will be no light," she said to Clara.
