"Well Shit??" Chan cursed.

"What happened, hyung??" Changbin asked.

"I lost the crystal while running away from the shadows."

"Nice job." Minho said. "You had one job, hyung. One job!!"

"It's this one." Hongjoong said pointing to the right path.

"And how do you know, it's correct??" Chan asked.

"We once went to meet the old man, but failed miserably." 

"Okay,"

All of them went to the right path. It was a very long trail, with few snow covered trees. 

They kept going but eventually stopped due to a valley. There was no bridge for the boys to pass.

"I remember we had to solve a riddle here to pass this valley." Yeosang said.

"A riddle??" Jisung wondered.

Suddenly, a voice spoke in their ears.

"What are you doing here...?? Here.. In my territory.." 

"We need to cross this valley." Chan said. 

"Solve my riddle and cross this valley."

"Tell us the riddle," Minho said.

"Confident, huh..?? Let's see, till when this confidence lasts. 16 people. 4 person per riddle."

"Okay then."

"My first riddle: I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?" He said. "Think quickly, you have 60 seconds. Tick tock."

"What speaks without a mouth and hears without ear?" Chan thought.

"A microphone?? No no.." Hyunjin guessed. 

"30 seconds left~" The voice said. 

"Has no body but comes with wind." Minho thought.

"Echo!! Echo is the answer!!" Chan said. 

"Correct!!" "You can pass the bridge." 

"The second one: I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I??"

"Seriously?? I heard these in primary school." Seungmin glared. 

"Answer then, smart pants." Jisung said. 

"A map. Easy." 

"Correct!!"

"The third one: I come from a mine and get surrounded by wood always. Everyone uses me. What am I??"

"I KNOW IT!! I KNOW IT!!" Wooyoung shouted. 

"Then tell the answer dumbass." Mingi said. 

"Wait- I forgot." 

"Idiot." Jongho glared. 

"PENCILL!! I remember it."

"Quite chaotic. But it's correct."

"The Last one now: What belongs to you, but everyone uses it??"

"My bathroom essentials"

"Seriously??"

"My snacks,"

"My PS5,"

"The answer is my name."

"Correct!!" "You all can pass the bridge."

A man suddenly appeared. He had a long beard was very short, like an elf. He had pointed ears. He whistled and a wooden bridge appeared.

"Hey, Changbin hyung is not the shortest anymore."

"Kim Seungmin!!"

All of them got on the sledge and passed the bridge.

"They gotta face challenges now." The man and vanished in thin air.

They travelled for a long time. It was almost dark. They suddenly came across something unexpected.
