Sonic began to speak up, about to make an observation of the books themselves being traps, but chose not to surround his group in fear, instead opting to look for another way out.

"It is trapped, without a doubt. And you were more likely to pull me back into another trap acting like that." Sweetie said, looking at the cage. "The question is, how do we get the books? Slide through the bars and grab them?"

"Perhaps we could cut through the cage," Sonic suggested. "Or we could use some magic to remove it, and any enchantment that may bind it there."

Nearby the cage, there was a riddle. "The eight of us go forth, not back, to protect our king from a foe's attack. What are we?" it read. There were five square holes underneath it, the letters "H", "A", "K", "P", "W", "N", "G", and "S" engraved on blocks laying on the floor

"Hm..." Sonic murmured. "I believe the answer would be 'Pawns'. What do you guys think?"

"Seems like we have to solve a riddle...and the first thing that comes to mind with said riddle is 'pawns' but I don't know..." Apple bloom says while seeing the riddle. "Sweetie, you know what it is?"

"You're both right, it is pawns. Chess pawns. My sis taught me to play it." Sweetie said, a little depressed remembering Rarity. "Let's see what we've won." Sweetie said somberly, picking the pieces up with her magic and putting them in order to spell out PAWNS.

The torch near that piece of the wall went out, and another grew brighter. This one said, "I'm as white as snow, and edible like it as well. What am I?" This had four square peg holes, with blocks with the letters "J", "Q", "S", "M", "T", "L", "P", "A" in a tray.

"Oh wonderful." Apple Bloom sighs out. "Now I have no idea what it is."

"Come on Bloom, it's salt." Sweetie said. "How many of these riddles are we going to have though? And just what is in those books?" She wondered, staring at the books.

"Well it's probably something special if there needs to be these riddles." Apple bloom says while grabbing the letters and placing in the right spots that spelt SALT.

This torch went out, and another grew even brighter. This riddle said, "I speak no words, and I trick the mind. I easily become trapped. Who am I?" The letters this time were "M", "J", "A", "I", "F", "M", "O", "E", and "Q". Four square holes were present underneath the riddle.

"I would normally say fame, but the question asks who. Mime maybe?" Sweetie said, pulling the six letters out apart from the rest of them. "What do you think it'll be?"

Post by xinrick on Jun 8, 2014 12:06:40 GMT -6
"Mime was gonna be my first guess." Apple Bloom says with a shrug. "Let's try it since I can't think of anything else that would be a 'who' for something that sounds creepy."

"Yeah, it's definitely mime."

Nothing but silence hung over the room before Sonic spoke up. "So... I guess I'm going to be the one to place it in this time.", entering the letters 'MIME'.

The torch went out, and the last one grew brighter. This riddle read, "I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?" Four square holes were ready for the letters "J", "H", "T", "N", "A", "O", "M", "E", "F", "P", "R", "D", "B", "I", and "W"

Apple Bloom had a little thought cross her face...before figuring it out. "It's Fire." Apple Bloom says with a little nod. "At least...I think it is..." She frowns, remembering that things might not be as they seem.

"Without a doubt Bloom. That third one was harder than the rest of them." Sweetie said, spelling FIRE with the blocks and putting them into the holes. She hopped backwards, waiting for it to explode or something.

"Yeah just a bit." The apple nods, getting ready for whatever might happen next as she backed away from the wall.

"Agreed." Spike said.

Spike put the F, I, R, and E in order under the torch in the pegs.

The last torch went out, darkening the room. From the center, a bright purple light came from inside the cage; strange markings creating the light. The cage was no longer there, and revealed the five books. The first book was titled Giant Crabs, the second Chimeras, the third Conqueror of Worlds, the fourth Monster Summoner, and the fifth Hydras. Your party may take two books, and two alone. Which books will you take?

"Why do I have the feeling that we'll probably need all of them?" Sonic sighed, looking around for anyone to make a grab for the books.

I have a feeling we'll need the 'Monster Summoner' and the 'Conqueror of Worlds'." Apple Bloom suggests, finding those two names a lot worse for ware then the other three more generic monster names.

Post by sotn on Jun 8, 2014 19:48:13 GMT -6
"Hmmm... Yeah, monster summoner and conqueror of worlds are probably going to be very useful."

"With something like this, aren't the ones that don't sound so dangerous usually worse?" Sweetie commented. "I agree with the Conqueror book though, but I think we should grab Chimeras or Hydras." She said, grabbing the Conqueror book off its plinth.

With one book picked up, your party may only take one more book. Choose wisely, as these books may hold many secrets for future enemies. "So, basically, their cheat codes?" said a male voice. "No, stupid. Go back to the recording station!" said the narrator. (4th wall breaks will occur, just saying.)

"What?" Spike said, confused. "Who's talking?"

"What the hay was that? And what was he talking about 'cheat codes' or something?" She asks with a little weirded look. "Whatever, but the one thing that seems a little scarier than anything else is the chimera...sure the giant crab and hydra both sound somethin fierce but chimeras...they could be anythin." Apple bloom frowns, still not knowing what to pick.
(Who wants to say the first thing the monster summoner plays is Toon Blue Eyes White Dragon?)
