Fantasy Murder: The Shadow's Grip

[Ryu Keiko]

"What happen here?" asked the sphinx as the direwolf arrived, carried and wounded. He looked to the young female child,
"I can not give you another riddle my dear, but you solve the riddle that sets me free, and I can save you're direwolf's life." spoke the shpinx, its tone monotone and its black eyed stare almost....cold.

Ryu looked at the girl then what he figured was the sphinx. "I'm not sure if there is anything that you need from her to get this wolf help." he says softly. "But if you can't get it from her, you can definitely get it from me." he whispers softly to the sphinx not sure what else to do or say. He looked over at the wolf they were carrying, feeling really bad for both the girl and the animal, they seem to have shared a bond.

Laughing jack manged to outrun Nastu, making to the hospital, dashing through the slide in doors, and into the black abyss that the building seemed to become. As Nastu stood in front of it, she could feel dread, sadness, and a big sense of wrong, whatever was in here, it was evil, and it wasn't to play fair. Does Nastu enter alone?

Son of a bitch!! *Natsu runs in not knowing someone is following her in., She wants to do it alone*

Siegfried Regin

Siegfried looked at Natsu and blushed, damn, he sighed after shaking his head a few times and cooling his shit a little, he decided not to think of tits and wonder what the fuck was going on, he was definitely not going on a futile chase for the KISS reject. Or whatever Demons call themselves. He decided to go find that child he met, she seemed to be worried about her wolf as it was injured, he followed a small trail of blood leading towards them. Before he left he looked back to JoJo and Natsu


"Uh... HEY! I think we shouldn't chase it! Let's think of a strategy for later, and um... Ambush it! Yeah.... Totally!"


I mean if a fucking ballistae can't take the thing down they were gonna need rocket launchers, hopefully his house would supply some type of weapons. The tone on his voice was a total full of shit it was trying to sound friendly but at the same time trying hard to not call the two ignorant idiots, or reckless idiots for the matter.


Siegfried reached the girl and 2 other men, and was that a sphinx?

[QUOTE="Lunar-Eclipse]Minako turned around and faced the hospital the two were headed after. She wanted to know what was going on and figured Natsu would need some help fighting whatever it was they were after. She ran behind them and headed straight to the hospital up ahead.

Son of a bitch!! *Natsu runs in not knowing someone is following her in., She wants to do it alone*

He stopped in front of the hospital, letting Natsu walk in. "So he's in here, huh? This place gives me the creeps for some reason, but we got no choice!" JoJo said to himself. Admittedly, he felt the negative feelings that Natsu had felt, but he did his best to block them out. Of course, before he would walk in, he would notice the footsteps of Minako from behind. Turning around, he saw her and blinked in mild surprise. "Oh, it's you! What luck, another survivor!"

@Verite

Blackness that's all surrounds her, Natsu is alone, and the deep sadness she could feel only a foot from the door was now crawling all over her, as if the sadness was her own. A faint whisper could be heard, and what looked to be far away, was a cracked door, exposing light.

"Answer these riddles correct and I will save you're direwolf's life, One, Poke your fingers in my eyes and I will open wide my jaws. Linen cloth, quills, or paper, my greedy lust devours them all. What Am I? Two, What belongs to you but others use it more than you do? Three, I never was, am always to be, none ever saw me, nor ever will, and yet I am the confidence of all who live and breathe on this terrestrial ball." asked the sphinx.

((Hey guys, Let's not google these.)) 
I think I got 1, I already knew 2, thinking about 3 lol I love riddles))

(So do I! This is why I had to put a sphinx in.)

Siegfried Regin

Siegfried walked in just in time to hear the riddles, he raised his hand as if he were a student and asked


"Can I participate?"
​

 

(So do I! This is why I had to put a sphinx in.)

Yeah the sphinx in Oedipus is a classic so lol, all sphinx are known for riddles in mythology I guess, well most.)

// I actually found the first two by myself yaaay c:

Spoiler

Arya quickly responded.


"The second is your name! You use your own name less than others do!"


She then frowned, her thoughts racing, thinking about the other questions.


None ever saw me... Am always to be... never was...


"The future!" she yelled.


"The third answer is the future!"


It then took Arya a very long time to think.


She came up with answers that never made enough sense, and the right one just wouldn't get to her.


The longer it took her, the more she felt the need to cry.


She had to keep it together... Think, Arya, for Nymeria...


// Sad thing here is that I think the answer is





scissors and I don't think scissors with fingerholes

were invented yet


// Byebye doggeh~

*Well lucky for Natsu he got past the point of rage. Her damned eyes were glowing red with rage. GLOWING!! She had no feeling now. Just anger. She started to feel the sadness, but shook it off as she yelled with her dragoness might. She ignited her hands and looked around. In a low deep tone that if some one came in now would make them scared.* Face me!!

"I do not care, I will be free as long as one of you speak the answers." said the sphinx.

(Non the less, as long as she says scissors, the sphinx will accept the answer, surly they had them to cut cloth?, or am I wrong?)

(Non the less, as long as she says scissors, the sphinx will accept the answer, surly they had them to cut cloth?, or am I wrong?)

// Well I think they existed, but she would never think of that answer because even if they did, they didn't have the "eyes" yet

"You have riddle two correct, and you are wrong with riddle three. You're wolf will die if you do not think, I suggest you try harder." spoke the sphinx, it didn't care for the child's emotions, it just wanted to be free, then it would do what the child asked.

 

[Croissant]

"I do not care, I will be free as long as one of you speak the answers." said the sphinx.

Siegfried Regin




Siegfried sighed as the girl already answered the last two, darn he really wanted to answer more than 1 but it could not be helped.


"First one is scissors, at first I thought it was a paper shredder but that wouldn't make sense. Either way, you still have to tell us if they're correct."
​

 

[RainbowWave]

(@JayJay, someone else will hopefully answer, it will still count.)

 

[Ryu Keiko]

(....Am I the only one not good with riddles? Because I'm trying to figure them out and I don't even have to answer them xD )

 

[Croissant]

((Oh shit, future wasn't correct, thought it was solid man, well scissors was easy as well as the second one but the third one I really thought it was gonna be future xD , seems like I need to think more on the "confidence" part))

@Lunar-Eclipse

Blackness, even with flames Nastu couldn't see a foot in front of her, it seemed the whole world was black, something was clearly wrong here. The cracked door only opend wider, exposing a 6x6 doorway, glowing with light. 
"Correct," spoke the sphinx, its heading lifting from the grass, 'These mortals may indeed free me,' thought the sphinx.

Arya started shaking her head slowly.


She started feeling weak and dropped to her knees in front of the sphinx.


She was trying her hardest, but she couldn't think of anything else.


"Please... Please help me..." she whispered.


She wasn't holding back anymore, Arya was crying.


All other sounds around her seemed to blocked out, she was all alone in her thinking and crying.


// that last line mostly for the sake of not just giving the answers Siegfried gives lel

 

[Ryu Keiko]

Ryu sat there, lost in thought. He had no reason to answer these riddles, but he couldn't help but think of the answer.... But that was the problem.... Ryu was too much of a logical thinker to try and figure out the right answer out of millions of possible answers for riddles. It actually annoyed him. The fact that he couldn't figure out the answer just annoyed him, and reminded him of growing up where everyone said he was stupid. He did his best to keep his anger to himself, but, being lost in thought as he was, he didn't notice the flames that had started to dance around him. They weren't harming anything, but they did act...menacingly.


@JayJay @RainbowWave 
Ryu then blinked....Maybe he had an answer? Maybe...Just maybe? "I think I can help her...sphinx thingy..." he said nervously, hoping he was right.


(I forgot to add that part) 
(Wait I actually think I may haev figured it out! And If I did, I'll be so damn proud of myself lol.)

*Natsu smiled with anger filled glee. She ran up to it then leapt in the air ready to attack* Fire dragon iron fist!! * If the attack didn't hit anything then it'll hit the floor with a force to be reckoned with. Her anger now fueling her flames*

"I had something....else in mind though...." Tyler looked to Adain, almost like a sad puppy dog face

Adain smiled at the puppy dog face, "And what is it you had in mind dear?" Adain wrapped his legs around Tyler's waist

 

[Ryu Keiko]

Ryu looked over at the girl and then the sphinx. "Is the answer to the third one....Tomorrow?" he said nervously, his fingers twitching slightly. "I really hope that's right, I'm no good at these damned things." he mumbled as he stood there awkwardly.
