Not quite certain if this topic fits in this section, but here are those riddles I found in an rpg game. I've been thinking about it a few days now. (and i don't know the answers)

1.
I am as cold as death, and not breathing air.
Never thirsty, but ever drinking
Covered in mail, but never clinking
What am I?

2.
A warrior amongst the flowers, he bears a thrusting sword.
He uses his life to defend his golden hoard.
What is he?

3.
We capture light, and yet we don't.
We reflect rays of sun, and yet we don't.
Without us all the world is gray and dull.
What are we?
-- my guessed "sky"

4.
Until I am mesured,
I am not known.
Yet how you miss me,
When I have flown.
What am I?

5.
Never tired, never still.
Moving quietly from hill to hill.
Does not run or even walk,
life it gives and sometimes take,
when its hand is gone you feel the chill it leaves behind.
What is it?

6.
I make you weak at the worst of times,
but iI keep you safe from hights and crimes.
I make your hands sweat, and your heart grow cold,
I visit the weak, but seldom the bold.
What am I?

7.
What can run but never walks,
Has a mouth but never talks,
Has a bed but never sleeps?
What am I?

8.
White bird featherless flyin out paradise
flyin over sea and land dyin in my hand
what is it ?
