Can you solve this riddle?

3. A hand?

Adeel · Mon 14/10/2013 22:52:48

#3 is clearly either suggestion or advice.

It's funny how quickly these were answered. Though, Your Escape is wrong. It's close to it though.

#1 is either Fire-Escape or Fire-Exit...

1. Haste

Haste was correct.

1. You will invite him into
Your house,
Yet you know him not.
Once you get to know him,
This thing he will
no longer be.

2. I saw him where he never was,
And where he could not be.
And yet within this place,
I saw a wavering face,
Staring back at me.

3. We travel much yet
prisoners are,
And close confined to boot.
And yet with any horse we will
keep pace,
And always go on foot.

1. Stranger
2. Mirror
3. Horseshoe

Renodox · Wed 16/10/2013 08:09:22

Stranger is correct, the other two are not.

I think blueskirt's number two is really close, is it a lake/stream?
#3: Steps?

CaptainD · Wed 16/10/2013 12:27:02

Or are we thinking too physical with 2, is it more like

Your REFLECTION in a lake / stream

?

I think it depends on what we're looking for, I'm a bit confused:

I saw him where he never was,
And where he could not be.
And yet within this place,
I saw a wavering face,
Staring back at me.

#2 can also be seeing a person in your dream.

Being really picky here

'Your escape' is equally if not more valid than 'haste' for

Inside a burning house,
This thing is best to make.
And best to make it quickly before,
The fire's too much to take.

In line 3 'making your escape quickly' makes a lot more sense than 'making haste quickly'.

Atelier, this is based off a game, while your answer was technically correct, it wouldn't answer the game's riddle.

Sephiroth, while it's been figured out we're looking at a reflection, the answer is where the reflection is found. Read the rest of the riddle for clues on why "mirror" doesn't work.

2. Maybe a picture or a painting?

EDIT: I just saw your post

so.. ummm.. nvm

#2 is Pond to be exact but lake is close enough.

#3 hasn't been answered. You're missing a rather important clue in the riddle. Sometimes phrases need to be taken literally.

That would make sense, but horses don't have toes?
