Hi again Manwë!

I'm not sure about your other riddle.

Quote:
I am dangerous,
and yet can save your life,
not harmed by sword,
not wounded by knife,
I eat man and house,
but am a gift,
keep an eye on me,
for I am swift,
what am I?
But I think it might be Water. You can drown in water, floods can destroy houses, yet you need to drink it to live. It cannot be stopped by sword or knife - in fact water will rust them. Water is the source of life - a gift. Swift moving rivers are dangerous.
