Standing with Kahlua at her side, the game of riddles did not seem quite as daunting as it had when she first arrived. Maybe it was the infectious attitude of the bubbly mare – but it certainly felt more like a game with her dear friend. Though she didn’t understand why they were playing this game – perhaps it would come in time! It seemed that many were told to leave but among those that were allowed to stay were the two painted mares.

She nodded in response to Kahlua’s look, a smile showing that they were hearing the voice at the same time. Another riddle! She felt lucky about the last one and wondered whether she would be quick enough for this new challenge. The mention of demons sent a chill through Alysanne, one she did not quite understand but which was peppered with a flicker of a memory she did not know she had. But she could not chase it now… or rather, she would not. The rest of the riddle would not wait for her to wonder why the word ‘demon’ had been a trigger. She wondered about poisons but realized that would only fit with the last bit.

What then could kill you if you ate it? Well, if you didn’t eat anything… But Alysanne felt unsure about saying ‘nothing’ in response. It felt like a trick.

Doubt was shed when she heard the whisper-soft voice of her friend at her side speaking the same thing as what had been bouncing around her mind. A smile appeared once more in those summer-green eyes – surely it was a good sign that they both came up with the same answer! Not speaking the answer first did not bother the black and white pegasus; if not coming up with something original would count against her she did not mind – but she would eagerly take the opportunity to use her thoughts to back up her friend. “I think Kahlua is correct, you are ‘nothing’.” She spoke softly and apologetically, of course not thinking that the creature before them was nothing - it was just an unfortunate set up of words.
