We stop infront of an old wooden door.

Queen juniper snapped her finger then the old wooden door open on its own. Sinilip ko ito at wala akong maaninag sa loob. Tila walang katapusang kadiliaman lamang.

"Where's the guardian?" i asked.

"Inside, makakalabas lang kayo kapag nakuha niyo na ang mapa. Ready na kayo?"

"Uh. Yeah." walang pagaalinlangan kong saad.

"Okay then! It's just a riddle young lady!" after she said that she pushed us.

Napasigaw ako sa sobrang pagkabigla, nagpatuloy kami sa pagkahulog. Wala akong makita, sobrang dilim!

Agad naman akong napapikit ng masilaw ako sa sobrang liwanag. I covered my eyes with the back of my hand. Pagkamulat ng aking mata'y nasa gubat na kami. What kind of place is this?

"Avs? Nasaan tayo?" Teagan asked.

"I don't know either." iginala ko ang aking paningin. Tila isang normal na gubat lamang ito.

"Guardian?! Hello guardian!! We are here!"

"Shh..Thalia quite."

"He he soory."

"Let's go."

Nagsimula na akong maglakad, ramdam ko namang nakasunod lang sila saakin.

Ilang oras na kaming naglalakad ngunit wala parin kaming matagpuan na guardian.

"Master avs! Hindi ba paikot ikot lang tayo?" ani ni Teagan. My forehead creased as i examine the place. Parang kapupunta lang namin dito a?

"Oo nga Avs napansin ko din, naka sampung balik na tayo sa lugar na ito."

Punyemas. Bakit ngayon ko lang napansin? Napaupo ako sa isang malaking bato at napa buntong hininga. Ano ba ang kailangan naming gawin?!

"Master avs, natatandaan mo pa ba yung huling sinabi ni Queen Juniper?"

"Oo naman.O-okay then.. it's just a riddle young lady. Anong meron 'don?"

"Analyze it master avs."

"Okay then it's just a riddle young lady..." paulit-ulit ko iyong binigkas ngunit wala akong makuhang clue.

"Why don't you just tel--" agad din akong napatigil sa aking sasabihin ng may ma-realize ako.

"Wait. I think i get it."

I stood up then motioned them to stay silent.

I actually love this game.

"With pointed fangs i sit and wait; with piercing force i crunch out fate; grabbing victims, proclaiming might; physical joining with a single bite, what am i?"

*poof!*

A little boy suddenly appeared. There's a bunch of colorful flowers above his head. He's a cute brown eyed boy!

"Stapler!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Missy let's play!" he jump multiple times then he clasp his hands while looking at me with a pleading eyes.

"Why not, i love riddles!"

"Let's start?!" he excitedly asked. I nodded while beaming.

"What do you cut, mix and serve but never eat?"
