Lost and found (Discontinued)

The trail of smarts: part two

The ducks, Louie and Marcy were walking for 5 minutes till they got to a wall made of crystals with four keyholes.

"Here we are. The crystal gate."Said Marcy as she flew over to the gate.

The ducks stare at the wall, which does not look like a gate at all.

"I'll give you one key for the riddle before, so there are only 4 more to go."Marcy said politely. Then a key appears and flys into one of the keyholes.

The ducks look at each other and nod. "We are ready."

"Okay."Marcy cleared her throat."The second riddle is: What runs miles and miles never gets tired."

The ducks look confused at her.

"That's it? That's the second riddle? I thought it would be more of a challenge."
Dewey said.

Marcy frowns."It's just the second riddle. Trust me, they're gonna get really hard and maybe a bit to complicated for your little brain."She said, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Dewey got angry at that. Who does she think she is insulting Dewford duck, the son of Della duck and nephew of Scrooge mc duck. But before they could get into an argument, Huey interrupted them."We don't have time for this! Let's just slove the riddles and get going."

Dewey sighed."Fine. But if she insults me again, I can't garantee I won't do anything."He said, the anger clearly in his tone.

"The same, if he insults my riddles again."Said Marcy, glaring daggers at Dewey.

Huey sighed."Okay, back to the riddle. I think it's water. Who agrees?"Everyone raised their hands."Okay, water is our answer."

Marcy looks even more annoyed now. She snapped her fingers and another key appears in one of the keyholes."Okay next one. Without a mouth it can cry, without wings it still can fly, it has no hand or body to touch, but you can feel it just as much. Tell me what that is."

"The wind."Said everyone, without hesitation.

Marcy was stuned by that and didn't know what to say. She just stared at the ducks.

"What? This riddle has been used for fun and brain tests. Everyone knows the answer to it."

"Really? Ugh! I have to update my riddles if they are already used for fun. That's what happens when you meet nobody in 7 centurys."Marcy said, mad that her riddle is to easy and outdated."Okay, next one. This one will be a normal questions by the way."She cleared her throat."Name the 10 elements of magic."

The ducks were shocked."The what?"Asked Della.

Marcy rolls her eyes at that."You heared me. Tell me the 10 elements of magic."

"But how should we know that?!"Asked Dewey.

Marcy groans."It's the trail of smarts. It's a test of knowledge, so you should be smart! It's not my problem, if you're not smart enough, or don't have a brain in your case!"She shouted at him.

"How dare you-"

"Stop!!! We're not getting anywhere with this. So would you two stop fighting and throwing insults at each other, so we can make progress for once?!"Shouted Louie, done with Deweys and Marcys stupid arguments.

"Okay."They said as they look at the ground.

Louie took a deep breath to calm himself."Okay. Now the 10 elements of magic are earth, water, fire, ice, wind, stone, storm, light, darkness and friendship."(I took these elements from remorse, a story by Louieduckfan1347, which is by the way amazing, besides astral)

The others just stared at him."How did you-"

"Well, Fiona tought me the most about stars and magic. She is a magician herself."He answered.

"O-kay. Let's continue."Marcy made the forth key appear and the wall broke, revealing another wall of crystal, which at least looks like a door."Are you ready for the last question?"

"Yes we are."

"Okay. What is the one thing everybody needs, but a lot of people don't return to those who give it?"

The ducks were clueless. There are a lot of things people give, but some don't return. Like kindness, honesty, Generosity and on and on. But then Huey remembered the rhym.

"For the last question a tipp you'll get,
use the heart not the head. It must be something that comes from the heart. And the most impotant thing that everyone knows and wants is love, which not everybody gets or gives, but everybody needs! That's it! The answer is love!"Answered Huey.

Marcy smiled kindly at that."Correct."She made the last key, put it in the keyhole and they watched as the door shatered.

"Finally!"Shouted Dewey with as much excitment as he could, happy to go on and leave the riddles and questions and especially the annoying know-it-all Marcy behind. He just couldn't wait and ran off to the next trail without the others.

The others just laughed at his impatience. Marcy turned to the ducks and smiled warmly."Congratulations. You've beaten the second trail. I wish you good luck for the next trail."She told them.

"Thank you."

The ducks now went after the blue ball of energy.

"Oh! And greet Anne for me!"

And with that the ducks were gone to face the last trail. The trail of bravery.

Finally! Finally done. It took me so long to even begin with the second part. But now it's done. Just consider it a Christmas present. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
