Wait. 'Slow yet fast' is a general description of the character, you say?


In that case, I know who Small are, and I believe I know the answer as well. Just need to find the Red.

I believe Hobbits are 'Small', in which case, the answer could be Quickbeam, who is quicker than most, but slow still, as is his race. But who are the 'Red'?

Bing! Correct, the answer is Quickbeam. He was friend to the hobbits, but also to the red-berried Rowan trees. He was an Ent, so slow, but notoriously hasty - yet, when trying to catch Saruman, he wasn't quite quick enough.

Back to you.

Brother mine, up above
Brother mine, down below
Sundered are we
Till everything crumbles to dust

Our father's pride
We awed many
Till evil took us
Into the darkness

Brother mine, up above
You had been freed
Yet so were we
Though much later than you were

Brother mine, up above
Brother mine, down below
When the world is remade
We shall meet again

Oh yeah. This might be my best riddle yet.

I try to be patient, but being patient is hard.

If the answer is what I think it is, this is indeed a great riddle. Is it the Silmarils? One in the earth below, one in the sea, one in the sky above.
