After a moment of silence, I spoke up. "Footsteps," I said, the answer coming to me in a flash of inspiration. The voice chuckled, its laughter echoing off the labyrinth walls. "Well done, traveler.

Now she turn to me and begins with a melodic rhythm: ‘Born in fire, but I’m not hot, I can be written, yet I’m not a jot. I’m a secret revealed through ancient art, Unlocking the mysteries hidden in a heart. What am I?’

My heart pounded as I gazed upon the ancient riddle, silently mouthing the words over and over again to myself, a million questions whirling through my head. I knew that the correct answer was the key to my very survival, but what riddle has the key to my room? I was familiar with the language, but the words were elusive, and nothing made sense.

When I finished, the room was silent. Finally, one of them cleared his throat. “Do you… know what it means, my lord?” I slammed my hand down on the armrest of my throne, making several of them flinch. “If I knew, do you think I’d be standing here asking you?” Heads lowered immediately. I pointed at them, my eyes blazing. “Find the answer. Whoever solves this will be rewarded beyond anything they’ve ever dreamed of.”
