Posted this in the Once Upon A Paper Forum, but since it's kind of empty there, it's going up here as well. I'm very interested to see what people think of, the answer itself seems kind of cheap to me. If you give up, e-mail me at ajahn73@web.de and I'll send you the answer - do not want to spoil it for everybody else.

Okay, this is a very popular subject - don't worry if you don't guess it, it seems strange even when you know what it's supposed to be.

The first sister speaks:
"I am the first, I am one
Always growing, never changing
I torment people, bringing back
What can never be had again
Yet I comfort them, gently reminding
Of lessons learned, of friends far gone
The hammer or the feather, both are me
You cannot destroy me, I would come back
In less than the blink of an eye
Who am I?"

The second sister speaks:
"I am last, yet I was first
I am many, always changing
Splitting into a thousand faces
I do not comfort, I draw people on
Beckoning to their ambition and drive
I create hope, to feed the desperate
I am the goddess of plans and schemes
I nurture dreams, ideas, possibilities
Who am I?"

The third sister speaks:
"I am one, I am nothing
Ever-changing, never there
You don't notice me until I am gone
And when you do, I am not me
My sisters are all, I am nothing
Yet without me, they could not be
I am the destroyer of plans, of hope
I am the one who brings chaos, disorder
I am the witness to the dirtiest deeds
Yet before they are done, I am no longer
Who am I?"

Okay - guess http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

umm, since i already know the answer can i guess?

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

You can continue, if you want. As I said, I was interested in knowing what else they could be! But don't post the real answer or http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/zzwhip.gif

No, I think the first sister is memory or something.

Btw Tiamat, what happened to your dragon?

Traded it in! I decided to have 2 animated gifs in my sig! I reduced the text so that it wouldn't be as big.

Hey, I don't know the answer, at first I thought the first would be memories, but thinking along those lines, is it past, present and future?

Yep seems like past, future, present in that order.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? For what it's worth I've never seen that riddle before and thought of the answer before I read any other posts.
