Riddle Twisted Wonderland Novels & Stories

--- Claire reached the bottom of the staircase, her feet touching cold stone. She blinked into the gloom, letting her eyes adjust. It was some sort of underground passage— ancient and forgotten. She moved forward cautiously, the walls closing in around her. Her fingers brushed against faded tapestries and cold metal sconces. At the end of the corridor, she found a heavy wooden chest. It was chained shut, a thick padlock securing it. Claire’s heart leaped. Maybe the key could open this, too. With trembling hands, she tried it.

Luckily, my words didn’t sound too slurred. He smiled and turned to the bartender… who amazingly enough came right over. Everyone who had been waiting for a drink looked over, jealous. The girls kept looking at the guy holding my hand. There was something about him that made him impossible not to look at. If I hadn’t grown up around werewolves I would probably be staring at him too. Werewolves have this amazing ability to attract all the attention around them when they wanted it, and the older, more experienced ones could blend in like they were invisible if they needed to too.

Twiddling my finger not being able to find it I put my head through seeing a tower of books, pens, gum wrapper, lost toys, fabric, button, cat food, water bottles, and so much more. My eyes glimmered around, seeing that this could be a whole new world, afterwards my eyes fell on the wand that was right on top of the mountain, I stretch my mini body ready to grab it but the wand itself started scooting back from me. I went a little further holding on to the edge of the bag seeing on the bottom was a pool full of water. Wait, where did that come from?

Twillow gave Kendrick an expression of surprise when he told her of the human wizard he had allowed to stay in his forest and whom had made this huge garden possible. Kendrick gestured to his garden broadly, "Fair trade wouldn't you say?" "It's...amazing." Twillow stated, gazing around her. "It's something I've always wanted." He mentioned as he moved toward one of the apple trees to pick the fruit. Twillow landed on the huge leaf of a squash plant which sank minutely under her weight, "There are lots of beautiful gardens in the Parliel Realm. Not like this one though. I like it. It's very surreal."

But it was here that they encountered their first challenge—an ancient enchantment guarding the ruins. The stone carvings pulsed with a soft light, and the ground beneath them trembled as a protective barrier formed, blocking their path. A riddle echoed through the clearing, spoken by an unseen voice: “To move forward, you must answer that which even the strongest fear, yet cannot escape.” The group stood in silence, exchanging uncertain looks. “The answer’s got to be death,” Damien said after a moment, and as soon as the words left his mouth, the barrier shimmered and faded away.

’ “What does it mean; I’m one step closer?” “That’s Tiffany” she hears people around her saying. ‘This is getting weird’ she thinks to herself. Glancing to make sure Katrina was still next to her; the light in the first sculpture goes out and the second one lights up. Tiffany and Katrina move to an ice carving of an old pirate ship. In the centre was an opened treasure chest; revealing another message. ‘Tiffany; your treasure awaits.’ Tiffany became curious; wanting to know what was going on. She moved to the third sculpture when the light came on. It was an ice carving of a unicorn, leaping over a mossy brick wall. In its horn it says ‘Tiffany; mystery and enchantment is calling you.’

The size of the pack shrank to the point where the werewolves could barely even afford to eat. Finally, Andre couldn't take it anymore and came to meet me. When his entourage arrived at the gates of the Bloodmoon pack, they stumbled upon a long line of suitors hoping to win my hand. He tried to push through the crowd but was stopped by the guards. "Sir, please don't cut the line. If you want to take part in the challenge, you'll need to start at the first round back there." Andre didn't quite get it. "What challenge are you talking about?"

She constantly shakes her head and continued counting that almost everyone from our side spouts out returns and replies. “Of course, it is as far as I can. It’s up to my decision.” “Is that an individual query?” “Dump that, it isn’t even a riddle.” “Four… aaand five! Over!” Closing my eyes tightly, I hoisted my right arm in a signal to quiet. “What is the answer?” I asked and the tiny creature giggled daintily, flying forth and back the opened portion of the tunnel. “You can only walk halfway into a forest, after that you are walking out of a forest.”

She stood up and tried to whisk them off with her hands but her effort yielded no results – they flew out very fast before they could get caught. “What’s that?” I cleared my throat after asking. I nearly got choked in the throat. “Fireflies!” she replied. “Their light is too bright, and they fly zigzag. These can’t be normal fireflies.” “That’s nothing strange, grandma. These are just fireflies. You need not be superstitious all the time.”

The house, room, everything looked new and the wide area of place inside it. “How’s this possible? Outside and inside are...” I stammered. “That’s my glamour too. So, no one will enter a place like this by looking outside. I have some advanced devices which are not safe if got in human’s hand.” “Right” I walked, seeing many devices, wires, cables and there’s a big holograph of the whole world. “What’s this for?” I pointed my hands. He touched and scrolled like using the phone. “I needed a world map to explore here.”
