Flyra's Riddles

Flyra's picture
I am NOT trying to contend Silence, he's still the best riddler and magician with words. I am just wanting to have my fun, as he thought I would. ;D I just want to take track of them here, since I think I have some nice ones to share.
Made the solved solutions invisible, so everyone who wants can try and find them out themselves again. :] Just mark the stuff between the | with your mouse and you can read the solution again!

#1
This riddle is not by me.
SOLVED BY ASBJORN
German:
"Das Kalte mache ich warm,
das Warme mache ich kalt.
Es hat mich Reich und Arm,
was lang mich hat, wird alt."

My Translation:
"I make the cold warm,
And I make the warmth cold.
Rich and poor have me,
If you've got me for long, you're getting old."

HINT: You're using me right now.

|It's "Breath" as Asbjorn correctly guessed!|

~~~~~

#2 I thought of this one myself yesterday. :]
SOLVED BY TERABETHA
"You are a a tall man,
But I'm just as high as you.
You are a small man,
Yet without any troubles
I am at the same eye level as you.
I am not that far away
But you will never reach me."

|Alright, Tera, it's the horizon!|

~~~~~

#3 This, again, is not by me... Rather easy I'd say... ^^
SOLVED BY SHIMMYSHIMMY / SILENCE
"What does the human like more than life,
what does he fear more than death,
what owns the poor one, what is the rich one missing,
what do wish these, which are satisfied?"

|Silence was right, it's "Nothing".|

~~~~~

#4 By myself.
SOLVED BY SHIMMYSHIMMY / SILENCE
"You gave birth to me,
But as soon as you're gone, I'll die.
I am you
But I am another one, too.
Can you name the two?"

|Their names are water and ice, as Silence revealed.|

~~~~~

#5 By myself. Rather easy. ;D
SOLVED BY SHIMMYSHIMMY / SILENCE
"Every animal is awarded to one of the elements;
Fire, Water, Earth or Air.
Some in two, but tending to one.
There's only one species
That masters all elements
At the same time."

|These are the humans, right, Silence.|

~~~~~

#6 By myself. Try specifying here, please, to make it easier for me to say "True". ;]
UNSOLVED YET
"If there is only one of him,
He's getting kicked
And is in the way.
If there are many of him,
He's getting kicked
But he is greatly appreciated."

HINT: Many of him are not natural actually; someone put them together...

Silence: Don't be too strict

Silence: Don't be too strict to yourself! It is sometimes indeed not easy to break some riddles. Practice will help you getting the "thoughts" you need to riddle them out. :]

Tera: Indeed, that was a quick right answer! Guess my own riddles are not too good. ;D Or maybe you're just too clever!
I will be putting up the next riddle now. 8] This is fun!

"Nothing" is the correct

"Nothing" is the correct answer, Silence!
There will be a next riddle now.

It actually was a good

Shocked It actually was a good riddle! I wasn't sure at first, it's just that a horizon is the only logical thing I could think of that you can never reach xD

Still, I think you are a

Still, I think you are a little hard on yourself Silence!

Take it as a challenge, Flyra is a perfect match for you. Don't think of it as something to put you down, but something to motivate you to become better at your profession.

Some birds just fly higher than others, but it doesn't mean the others can't fly.

Tera: Well thanks! 8D I

Tera: Well thanks! 8D I firstly thought I wouldn't add the last two lines, but that looked just TOO hard for me without. xD

Aww Silence, I am sorry if I were causing this feeling in you; I am highly ashamed now. I never doubted you were the master of riddles; since your riddles were trickier than tricky, they were funnier than funny and it was a great idea of yours to bring them into the Forest. <3
Like Avani/Fenqua said, do think of it as it can just make you better. Even IF there were birds who couldn't fly, they could be very intelligent instead!

Avani: Perfect match? Not really. But thanks for saying so. ;D

This is not what I mean actually, Tera, but it's a good thought. Smiling

curses lol the translation

curses lol the translation is a bit off, but I'm sure I could figure it out if I had time *has to go* D:
I hope you and Silence continue posting these riddles, they're very challenging! Smiling

Flyra's picture

Awww, do tell me what's

Awww, do tell me what's wrong! I am sorry about that! My english is sometimes a little too-translated from german so I have german grammar in it. xD If you know what I mean...
I tried to find the mistakes myself, hope it's better now. 8o
Oww, byes, Tera! :] See you later!

I do hope Silence will, too, and also about myself, since I don't know when my riddles will be all shared and there's none left LOL. ^^ But I don't think this will happen too fast and Silence will keep his ones up, too! <3

I am glad we could calm down

I am glad we could calm down you a bit, don't forget to see it all as a fun thing to do. c:
Interesting that I could bring you up so much. It was not my intention to do so. I hope it won't confuse and depress you too much and makes you not making riddles yourself anymore!

Have fun riddling this. Laughing out loud I bet you will make it, my clever riddler. <3

Indeed, water and ice is true! 8D Congratulations! I thought of them two as ice in a mountain which is melting and creates a river down the mountain. :] Your first one was a good thought too. You are wise as well, do believe me! ;D
Now, up to the next riddle!

Humans are right. It seems

Humans are right. It seems like they are, but in fact they are destroying nature with trying to master all elements. It's such a shame... *sigh*

Up to the next riddle. These are going quickly, actually, yes. 8o

Is nobody going to riddle

Is nobody going to riddle here anymore? If this new one is too difficult, just tell and I'll give some hints, if you aren't interested anymore, do tell and I'll delete or I'm having false hope...

Sure it is alright, dearest

Sure it is alright, dearest Silence! You were diligently with all the other riddles; my request was also going to all the others, but you seem to be the only one who still seems to care and it's making me happy, so no need to apology. (: I'd rather apologize for making you work so hard!
Maybe if I put out a hint, you will get a next chance, and others will see this and come up again. :]
