Four Riddles

Lots of inspiration made me want to write this post for a long time. Riddles take time for me to write! The answers, of course, are hidden as white text on a white background: highlight them and they shall appear!

Players in my games, don't spoil these riddles for yourselves! I promise you'll encounter them all eventually ;)


As long as my jailors live, so do I
If they choose to set me free, then I die
a secret

I dream of the day I'm so tall

I tower over the world

All winter I slumber

In lightless cell curled

a seed

I am a painter

Although my fingers are stiff as daggers

Strong enough to break rock

I paint delicately

Soft enough to trace a dandelion clock

So quiet I can paint your whole house

Without you hearing the swish of my brush.

But be quick if you want to see my work!
A jealous rival scours it all away.

Ice, frost (jack frost)

I am a dancer,

Getting faster and faster

My partner doesn't move her feet

She sashays so sweet

Her dress is of colours bright as the day

But my suit is grey

I strive to get close to her

Although her touch is the finisher

of both myself and my dance

A moth and a candle
