Is the speaker an emotion?

Is the one being addressed a particular person?

I suppose you could call it an emotion.

And no, it's not one particular person.

Thanks, lord of dor-lomin.

I guess, power or greed, to whoever comes under the influence of the ring?

The word "beware" reminded me of something someone said to Legolas (maybe Galadriel said it), "beware of the sea" or something like that. And I also remember Legolas saying something about never being satisfied (or at peace) with the woods again since he heard the ocean birds. So it seems to me that the sea, or more accurately, the sea-longing, seems to fit the riddle fairly well.

So I'll say the sea-longing talking to an elf.

This riddle was supposed to take a longer time than that!!

Go ahead, Mr Phantom.

It's the phantom, not Mr!! Get it right!!

Well, here's mine.

I've journeyed far and wide
with a steward as my guide
he gave me one last breath
then I went unto my death

Horn of Gondor (Boromir's)?

Could be....but Denethor was the steward, not Boromir. Fits though.

Sorry about the confusion. Actually, the horn is exactly what I had in mind. The horn had been passed down, so it had been carried by stewards, so that's why I put in that part. When the next line says "he", it's referring to Boromir, not to "a steward" in the line before. It's a riddle, so I didn't want to make the wording too easy (but apparantly, it was anyway).

Go ahead, raci!

Raci? Are you there? Well, if Raci doesn't go by tonight, I guess I'll post a riddle.

Let's try to get this started. I'll go again.

Sometimes I'm a house, sometimes I'm used to fight,
Sometimes I am dead, sometimes I give light

wood?

people build with wood for houses
wood can be used as a club for fighting
wood can be dead
You can use wood to create a torch to create light

Correct, Tigerlily! (I would've accepted wood or trees)

Go right ahead.

A fate that cannot be denied
Some crave me though they can not have me
Others despise my existance for what they can lose in time
For things that you love can just pass before your eyes
And be gone before you can stop it

I know it doesn't ryhme or anything, but it really fits the music I am listening to right now.

Death?
-obviously a fate that cannot be denied
-immortal beings may crave it(?!) but cannot have it
etc.

I know, I'm so not good with these... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Close, but no pipe [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Close to death? I've turned it on its head...

Immortality?

I cannot see what else would be a fate.

how about life?

I dunno....thinks...hurry up and tell us!!

Whoa! OK [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The answer is immortality [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Next...

That's actually what I had in mind when I said life (I was thinking eternal life).

Dang it!!

Sorry phantom [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Anyone have a new riddle yet?

I'm sorry; I've very little time just now and can't come up with riddles very quick. Someone please take my turn!

May I, may I, may I??? *hears someone clearly say 'Yes'*
Try this one out:

There are two
within us two
and still we are like one.

Wow, I am stumpted. Is it LOTR related or general?

Er.....(really has no idea)

Twins? Quadruplets? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

It's LoTR related. I'm looking for some specific names...
Samwise: sooooo close! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ February 23, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

Siamese twins?

Gollum and Smeagol?

Not that literally meaning that they are like one. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Uh....Faramir and Boromir?

Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul?

You were really close earlier, Samwise...
They are persons so you can leave all unanimated things aside. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And they are like one meaning that they look very much like one (and this reads in the books).

Elladan and Elrohir... the sons of Elrond???

Samwise! Nice to see you in this thread... long time no see indeed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And here we have the winner! Tigerlily, my congratulations! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And if someone didn't get what I meant by the first lines: Elladan&Elrohir were half-elves as you remember, so they had both elven and human blood in their veins.

[ February 24, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

Oohhhhhhhh........ [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Tigerlilly? You have a new one?
Here´s one from me:
Powerfull without a sword
Caressing and sweet without a hand
thin air filled with life
and magic fills the land

I'll post a new one as soon as this one is discovered...

Are we speaking of an inantimate object? It sounds like it... I was going to guess the light of Earendil... but that doesn't exactly fit I don't think.

Er...as who remembers? 'Fraid I never heard of 'em. Oh, well. Elves haven't been my study, so to speak, I've had other buisness.

Is this the wind?

I MUST say 'love' for it's the thing that comes in mind every time I see Manardariel's sig and avatar! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
