Cori snapped out of her daydream. [color=598527]Was that directed at me?[/color] She looked around to see a boy with a... [color=598527]A girl[/color] -she corrected herself- A girl with what appeared to be a small box.[color=598527][b]"Hi"[/b][/color] She said, giving the boygirl a warm smile. She had been worrying that it might be hard to make contact here. She didn't know demigods that well. Even though she was one, she still didn't really feel like one. So now she was genuinely happy that somebody talked to her. [i]"Could you please help me with a riddle? I'm afraid I can't make heads or tails of it, and I'm sort of hoping you could help!"[/i] [b][color=598527]"Me?"[/color][/b] she asked, pointing at herself. This was not a question she had expected. It intrigued her nonetheless. [b][color=598527]"Sure! I'll be glad to."[/color][/b] It was actually kinda exiting. She just hoped she could be of any help. Bridging the distance between them with a only a few steps, she looked at the box.[color=598527][b]"Is that the riddle?"[/b][/color] She asked while pointing at the engraved object. With her finger this close to a mystery, she couldn't resist feeling it and subtly she stroked the surface of the box with her index finger. Looking up a slightly embarrased for what might have been inapropriate, she decided to shift the attention. [color=598527][b]"I'm Corinthe by the way. I'm new here."[/b][/color] After introducing herself she looked back at the box. [color=598527][b]"So"[/b][/color] she decided. [color=598527][b]"How can I help you?"[/b][/color] Taking a closer look, the engravings turned out to be words. Words that didn't make much sense to her though. [i] "Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Pedo Mellon a Minno. Im Narvi hain echant. Celebrimbor o Eregion teithant i thiw hin."[/i] was what it read. Whatever that was supposed to mean. Corinthe repeated the words in her head. For some reason, she was stuck on the first part. [i]Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Durin Aran Moria. Durin. Moria.[/i] Where had she heard those words before? She gasped for air a bit, when it struck her. [b][color=598527]"Isn't that from Lord of the Rings?"[/color][/b] She really hoped she hadn't just said something incredibly stupid.
