Riddles :)
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 7:19 pm
As per request, here are the riddles from the quiz I held a year or two ago in EQ...about three of them related to EQ so obviously they aren't included here 
.
If you want to guess some answers, best to e-mail them to me or something (ekky84@hotmail.com), rather than post up here and spoil it for anyone else who may want to guess.
1.)
Winter's gift upon the land
Does not linger in the hand.
2.)
Constant compass in the night,
Helps the sailors in their plight
In formations or alone,
Different patterns, some well-known.
3.)
Feathered but wingless,
Sent to flight,
Its prey required
In line of sight
4.)
All the colours
Band together.
Want to see them?
Watch the weather.
5.)
End of the journey
Taken by all.
Some just fade,
While others fall.
6.)
He dwells alone in open net,
Awaiting prey that he can get.
7.)
Running free across the plains,
Flashing hooves and flowing manes.
Yet "horse" is not the name I seek,
For these are dark and light, and meek.
8.)
Not death, or night, not underground,
But a dark where weird images are found.
9.)
Strongest out of all its kind,
It loves, it breaks, but has no mind.
10.)
Largest of the mighty nine,
Also bears a name divine.
A myth about a happy face,
Yet storms rage all about this place.
11.)
Mighty essence of the world,
At least, in any myth unfurled.
Dragons born and battles fought,
Opposite of science thought.
12.)
Tears may flow
And cheeks may glow.
Although not a disease, observed,
It seems contagious, when it's heard.
13.)
Dead...or not? It's hard to call
When this comes drifting through the wall.
14.)
Who is it that has your voice,
Your eyes, your ears, your every choice?
Who goes, like you, from womb to grave,
And also, as you, does behave?
15.)
What follows you in any light,
But disappears in blackest night?
16.)
Spotted, striped, or simply plain,
Most of them dislike the rain.
Well-equipped for their usual task,
Stealth's their usual, cunning mask.
17.)
Ugly guardian, made of stone,
May sit with friends or sit alone.
Although they never move, they may
Gush water, each and every day.
Have fun, and remember, please don't post up any spoilers.
