Team Rider's Blade - Sigurd, Pyrrha, Lucus, Krystal, Delsin
The team from Rider's Blade proceeded into the second room. They knew this would be an easy task since Lucus and Sigurd had spent most of their early lives studying, Krystal knew a little this and that and could put two things together, and Delsin learned a lot in his travels as a bounty hunter. The only one they worried about was Pyrrha, who was more of a warrior then a anything else, and didn't really like thinking things through. With this ine mind, they were not surprised to hear the same voice as they entered the second room.
Two bodies I have, though conjoined as one. The more I stand still, the quicker I run.
"
So an object, likely with three parts, one of which moves, possibly between the two bodies that are joined together. It just has to somehow move while standing still." Lucus said.
After a few minutes of thought, Krystal snapped her fingers.
"
An hourglass. It has two bodies of glass joined together and sand travels between them while it's standing still after you flip it." She said. In response, the door in the room opened up and they were allowed to proceed to the next riddle.
This thing is a most amazing thing.
For it can be both as sharp as a knife,
Or as flat as a floor.
And yet, for all that it can be,
It is as natural as a bee.
Once again, Lucus was able to piece this one together easily.
"
Music, since it has sharp notes and flat notes. How the bee ties in, I do not know, but music is a natural part of life." He said, causing the door to open and let them on through to the next riddle.
What starts with an E ends with an E but only has one letter?This one actually stumped everyone. They had no idea how to decipher it. Sigurd and Lucus began talking about ideas with each other when Pyrrha spoke up.
"
Doesn't an envelope carry a letter?" She asked. The room seemed to accept this since she did say the answer, causing the door to open and everyone on the team to look at her in shock"
What... what?!"
Laughing, the other four led the way into the next room and to their next riddle
I am a strange creature,
Hovering in the air,
Moving from here to there,
With a brilliant flare.
Some say I sing,
But others say I have no voice.
So I just hum - as a matter of choice.
What am I?
"A hummingbird." Delsin said instantly, causing the door to unlock."
Funny little critters those things. Do you think they actually make any noise without their wings constant humming?"
"
That's like asking it fairies really exist. No one really knows." Sigurd said, leading the way into the next room.

If you look on my face you will find many numbers but you won't find a 13 any place.[center]
"A clock." Everyone said at the same time, even Pyrrha, who managed to smile at this and find it rather amusing.
"How many do you think are left?" She asked
"
Should've be that many more. We should be out of here soon. Least I hope so." Krystal said just as the voice spoke again
The 8 of us move forward not back. To protect our King from the foe's attack.
Sigurd got this one after a few seconds of thinking
"
Chess Pawns. There are eight of them on either side of the king and they are the first to charge forward and defend him." He said.
"
You must play a lot of that game." Delsin commented, leading the way this time.
Listen closely,
I'm hard to understand:
I'm as elusive
as a handful of sand.
Even if you perceive me,
you know me not
before you can tell me,
what I have forgot.
What am I?
This one was another one that stumped them all. They took their time to solve this one. In fact, none of them could get it and began just saying things that came to mind. Pyrrha began burning up and had to be help back from kicking the door at one point.
"
The hell are we supposed to answer a riddle, when the riddle makes no sense!" She shouted
"
Maybe the answer is a riddle." Lucus said calmly. When the door opened behind him, everyone face palmed themselves before proceeding into the next room.
You have me every day yet I am never done until you die
Everyone found this one easy and gave the unanimous answer of "
Life" before going onto the next room, hoping they all would be this easy given how the one before had been,
I have always been there, and I am ancient, yet I am always
new. You hold me only once a day, then I change once more.
What am I?
"
Time, it has to do with time. What part of time changes everyday?" Lucus muttered, trying to think.
"Hours, minutes, and seconds never change. Maybe the date?" Pyrrha said.
"
The date can get repeated every hundred years or so, depending on how you right it. It might be something different." Sigurd said
"
Not to mention the date didn't always exist. It has to have always been there. Like a tomorrow or a yesterday." Krystal said.
At the last word, the door sprang open. Expecting another riddle at the other end, the team walked through and found themselves outside the tower and in the middle of a crowd. They spotted a few teams nearby.
"
Wait... if those are some teams there then that means..." Pyrrha started.
"
Then we passed. Question is whether we made it into the actual games or not." Delsin finished, looking around and raising a hand anyway. Might as well soak in the moment while it lasted.
