I asked out of curiosity, I really want to know the next line. “Hmmm… I don’t really… remember as it… was just song… by the bards… but it goes… like this… “Easy comes, easy go's. A flower bed, a garden rose. Tress are dancing, wind is gushing. Birds are singing, snakes are grinning.” That is a weird poem, it doesn't seem to have any meaning.

It was surprising our Alpha and Luna had let her move there, considering she was very much human. Mrs. Juniper absolutely adored poetry, mostly the classics. I’d never forget the endless headaches I suffered trying to decipher what Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and Alfred Tennyson were trying to convey. Why poets had to make such simple lessons so confusing was beyond me. Why did they have to use pretty words to convey truth? ‘This doesn’t seem to be so hard.’ Rayna countered, murmuring the words to the poem in my head. ‘It mentions beasts twice, which has to be the bulls, right?’

They would require a deeper understanding, a connection to the mysteries of the universe. The Goddess gestured to a figure cloaked in shadows, who stepped forward and spoke in a low, melodious voice. "Here is your first riddle, Liam: What is it that is blind, yet sees? What is it that is silent, yet speaks?" I closed my eyes, focusing my thoughts.

“Good evening, Kai, you have 20 minutes to solve the riddles and escape this room.” The screen of the tablet opened with the first riddle and I read it. “You measure my life in hours and I serve you by expiring. I’m quick when I’m thin and slow when I’m fat. The wind is my enemy.” There was a space at the bottom of the page for me to type in the answer. “Real funny, whoever this is, I’m not playing your stupid game anymore,” I said out loud, and the walls moved closer towards me. I looked back at the tablet and typed in ‘candle’. The next question appeared on the screen and showed two of five.

“First point goes to Prince Gerald and Princess Adelina.” “Yes!” Prince Gerald ran back to Princess Adelina who hugs her and twirls her around. The two blonde duos were a bundle of joy.
