Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A fool that wields a power unseen, a hero who stands at the head of his machine, a peasant sits idle bleak in their guise, all involved here may meet their demise. Tell to the vision, who will fail the greatest. Who can't succeed and who's death will be cleanest." Tsunaimei repeated as she searched her mind for possible answers. "Unless it's saying that justice always triumphs over evil then I would say that there are no real victors in war and they everyone involved falls the same." She thought aloud, trying her luck.

Alundra decided to shout a answer. "Courage?"

Yami whistled happily at the jewels...

"Hmm...well the riddle's not a problem...but making away with the rest of the jewels will be the real riddle..."

She sets to work prying each jewel out happily enjoying the hard work of collecting jewels half buried into the wall. She gets to the Emerald Snowflake and leans against it to see if she can pry out the jewel, accidentally pushing the jewel into the wall.

Behind each jewel that Yami prys out is a small glowing ball of red light set further into the wall than her sword's tip can reach. As she leans against the Emerald Snowflake it sinks into the wall first causing the ruby letters of the puzzle to glow a brilliant hue. Projecting the look of blood covering the walls. There was a hint of something along the opposite wall but it looked incomplete. In soft blue letters there was a message along the opposite wall. "I_______________n ant, as big as a wh___________________ze, but can come l__________________ut all have sho_________________though I can't hear. Of__________________ames I have one. I'_______________________ou can't run. What am I?"
Upon closer inspection one would devise that the riddle was being projected by the lights through the jeweled shapes along the wall. And pieces of the riddle were missing because the jewels had been removed.

There was still no response in Alundra's room.

((This may be edited if things don't look quite right...))

As Alundra plunged her arm into the hole, the hole quickly shrunk to keep it. There was a violent pain that shot down her arm as something cut into the top of it.

Suddenly Alundra found herself in a room standing in darkness with only her left arm. In front of her was a tall latter leading to a door, nothing else could be seen.

There was some sound of scraping against the floor some ways behind her, but nothing approached from the darkness... yet.

Once she had reached the door, small demon walked out of the darkness near the bottom of the ladder. Looking up a red glow could be seen piercing the darkness as it gazed curiously at Alundra.

The ladder stopped right at the foot of the door and there was no room to stand on anything in front of the door. It was obvious that this was made to be difficult for someone with only one arm.
