Mit yawned, "An obvious answer would be... Carbon, or energy, or oxygen... But riddles are typically more obvious than that... The beginning of end... End of time and space... Essential for creation... Surrounding every place... question... should this be thought of in a scientific manner, Artistic manner, or... Grammatical?"

"Maybe," Violet said. The longer he thought about it the better.
((fyi, grammatical))

"Okay... I've already given a scientific answer... An artistic answer would be The colors black, white and grey... But that's too out there..." Mit sighed, "The only other thing I can think of is E."

"I've had years of practice..." Mit said, "In the valley you have to think about every possible meaning of a person's wording, before you make a response, and you never assume they're talking about what you think they're talking about."
Lennox held up a hand, signaling he need five more minutes.

"well, let's see if you can get this one," Violet said. "I never was, am always to be. No one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all, To live and breath on this terrestrial ball. What am I?"

"Tomorrow." Mit answered without thinking very long. "Can I go to sleep now?"
Lennox shook his head, and held up three more fingers.

"What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, and yet never grows?" Mit asked, sounding annoyed. He looked at Violet expectantly, "Lennox, no helping..."
Lennox had opened his mouth the respond but snapped it shut.

"Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters. What is it?" Mit said, not caring how easily or how hard Violet managed to understand the questions.

"It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter." Mit said bored with this child's game. "What is it?"

Lennox sat down on the edge of the bed, "Mitica, will you answer my questions?"
"Fine..."
"Where did you learn these Riddles?"
"Grandfather, when I still looked younger than you..." Mit said sounding tired.
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"Before you woke me up," Mit yawned.
"What was the first question we asked you?" Lennox gestured between him and Violet.
"Do I like Riddles?" Mit said.
Lennox looked at Violet, "He should be fine after this amount of time." He stood and walked over to the sofa, "Belladonna isn't known for being a slow killer."
