The Gentle Cold of Dawn

Rainbow Lights

Chad and Jeremy made their way down the next hall. 

The next thing they came to was another empty room with flaming torches.

"What sort of riddle is in here?" said Chad.

Another message was written on the wall.

"This is your final riddle. If you guess right, you will be free. If you guess wrong, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss" Chad read.

"More like to ghastly to read" said Jeremy.

"But where is the riddle?" said Chad.

They looked around.

"There" said Jeremy pointing to the wall.

The riddle was written just like the message.

"I have color but no picture. I brighten the sky on a cloudy day. What am I?" Jeremy read.

"Blimey. That sounds tough" said Chad.

They thought on it for a second.

"I've got it! It's a rainbow! They have colors and they only show up when it's cloudy and sunny at the same time" said Jeremy.

"Of course! That's the answer" said Chad.

"But where's the door?" said Jeremy.

"We're never gonna find our way out of here" said Chad.

Just then, the floor opened and Chad and Jeremy fell through it.

They didn't end up on a slide, but they did land in a dungeon.

"Blimey! That was our last riddle. What is happening?" said Chad.

"I don't know. Maybe our way out is through this dungeon" said Jeremy.

He and Chad cautiously walked through the dungeons. 

At some point, they found a skeleton on the ground.

"Oh my goodness. What is this?" said Chad.

As the two men made their way further into the dungeons, they came upon an ugly old hag at a cauldron.

"Have an apple, my fine men?" she said.

Chad and Jeremy were too afraid to answer.

"Have you been giving us those riddles?" said Jeremy.

"Yes! And well done for getting them all right. But you still ended up in my dungeon! Finally a little bloodshed" said the witch.

The floor opened again and Chad and Jeremy feel through it into the lake.

"Well, at least we're outside now" said Jeremy.

"Yeah..." Chad agreed.

But before they could have a second of relief, the witch soared after them on a boat.

Chad and Jeremy didn't know how to escape, but then a beautiful rainbow came from out of nowhere and lifted them out of the lake and got them far away from the witch.
