Yes, I did mean that second one, though your answer is still incorrect.

Well, there seems to be a rule that (last riddle answered+ten days pass)=open thread, so I guess I'm free to sneak in here... I accidentally wrote a series of four riddles while pondering this thread, so I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to post one. ^_^
Last of all but first among us Strong and bold and named there-for Took my hand in glorious springtime Ere we saw the starlit shore. His the strength to help the helpless Mine the grace beneath the trees Young and strong we run together Who am I? And who is he? There are two valid answers to this riddle. Well, there may be more, but I can think of two. Each answer, of course, consists of two names. hS |

Hmmn. Does this mean we have to guess both answers? I believe "You are Nessa, he is Tulkas" must be one of them, anyway.

Now, I'll bet you are going to be much trickier with the second answer, and so I should look for something more abstract/metaphorical- that is, "you" and "he" are not actual people this time. "Run together" suggests rivers to me, so I will guess "'You' are the Esgalduin, 'he' is the Sirion".

Nessa and Tulkas are indeed the first meaning, and I can tell you that they were supposed to be the only meaning. The original second line was 'Crowned with gold and named there-for', referencing Tulkas' Valarin name - but I changed it.
No comment either way on whether I'm being tricksy ( ), but I'm afraid Esgalduin-Sirion is not an answer I'd thought of.hS |
