Um...I didn't think the riddle thread went by turns. I thought you just posted one when you had one.

Thanks SGH. Duddun is right, but I'll go anyways.

Oops! Sorry. Getting this confused with the quote game. But in the closed thread, I saw Mirahzi figured out the last one before I closed it. Silly me. Never played the riddle game before.

I'm back. See the return of the TLA thread for my Very Sincere Apology.

I can't read all of the riddle game that was posted in the six monthes I was gone, so I will just post the riddle I had going when I left, and you can post your guesses!

Shadows feed on only light
After darkness naught can be but bright
A calling to the lady might
Brings joy and happiness in sight

Not a very good riddle, but I was already in the last stages of Neopets Addiction.

Very close, but none of these are right. I will now post the hints I had posted before I left:

Very abstract symbolism.
The first two lines are bogus, I threw them in for rhyming purposes.
The "Lady might" means "lady of might" means Galadriel
Joy and happiness are only "brought in sight", not gotten, and they are soon out of sight again.

Nope.

It refers to an event, not a thing.

Frodo's being captured in Shelob's lair? After invoking the Star of Eärendil?

I think TC is right, and it's Frodo in Shelob's lair.

No and No. You can also make up a riddle whenever you please, there can be more than one riddle at one time.
