A pretty nice person who got into writing fan fiction through the fandom, inspite of school. If you want to commission me for a story, give me a PM and I'll be more than happy to talk to you about it.

Marcus was just a young man who was just going along with his day when he suddenly found himself in the middle of the desert. As he traveled to find a way to survive, he is discovered by a sphinx who decides to challenge him to a game of riddles. If Marcus wins, than she will allow him to leave unharmed. But if the sphinx wins, then she may do whatever she pleases with him.

Pretty funny One-shot
Happy New Year
8638902
Happy New Year to you too! Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to see this continued and not as a One Shot.
8638956
Well, this sadly was planned as a one-shot. But, I'm not opposed to the idea of making a sequel if there's enough of a demand for it.
Happy New Year.
You know... I second the notion of creating sequel. A slice of life or an adventure would fit.
I'd likely read it. Good luck, if you decide to write one.
Lovely story to end the year.
That last remark from the sphinx was priceless
Good jobb i liked it.
"The One Ring," the Sphinx answered, then choked. "WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?!"
The human then claimed the Ring as his own... "ASH NAZG DURBATULUK..."
And so Equestria fell under another Dark Lord... after all of the other humans who became Dark Lords in Equestria because of various plot-convenient reasons.

So long as you keep it away from volcanos and sickly looking hobbits
Funny and cute
8639711 What about healthy-looking hobbits selling dubious nutritional supplements?
8639809
YOU STAY FAR AWAY FROM THOSE!
I really enjoyed this story. I even added it to my library as a favorite.
But, if I may ask:
Can the cussing that’s in this story be taken out?
It’s not just that I don’t like cussing, but, I know for a fact that there are better words and phrases to use than the terrible words put here.
8638956
8638964
One correction:
“I mean, master, may I have some water.” Needs to end with a question mark.
My Muse pictured a slightly different answer to one of the riddles.
8640095
Did you know "pants" was once considered a cuss word? Cuss words are "bad"because people wanted them to be "bad" and the only reason people continue to think they are is because they were taught to think so
A pity she didn't get an Old English nerd in her cave. That would have been epic. (Where do you think Tolkien got his inspiration from?)

If I recall, Cuchulainn impressed his girlfriend with a riddle game and got her to marry him, even though he had previously knocked up Aoife (and by some accounts, Scathach too) which came back to bite him.
I got the girl with the pot riddle
I had a story about it when i was little.
8640311
Ha, jokes on you, somebody already seconded the motion. Muhahahaha...you know, now that I think about it, I guess we can have to people second the motion.
8640367
Ah, thank you.
Sequel! This was amazing.
8639815 Alondro takes a dubious nutritional supplement... 2 weeks later he needs a liver transplant.
WHY DOES HE NEVER LISTEN TO- wait, now who the heck am I?
(You're the narrator.)
Oh, I don't recall volunteering for the job. Who does that make you then?
(I AM YOUR GOD!!)
I feel like there needs to be some paragraph and word editing.
8640723
I'm sure private messages to the author would be appreciated.
8640900
8640723
Yes they would, actually. All constructive criticism and grammar corrections that were missed by either me or my friend/editor is welcomed.
Edits for only the first three paragraphs, because marking them up is a pain:
Sand, rocks, and dunes were all that Marcus could see for miles on end. This wouldn’t have been an alarming fact for the young man, if he had lived anywhere remotely close to a desert. However/But As far as he knew, there wasn’t a single desert in Virginia, just mountains and forests.
He was a fairly tall, thin young man with short brown hair and beige skin. He
was wearingwore a black t-shirt, white shorts, and tennis shoes. Just five minutes ago, hewashad been tiredly shuffling around his apartment making sure he had everything he needed for his classes that day. Needless to say, finding himself falling through a hole that suddenly appeared in the floor, and face planting on the hot desert sand, definitely woke him up.He got up on his knees as he spat sand out of his mouth. As he looked around, panic began to set in. “What the hell happened!?”
Hehe (lower case because it is the same sentence) wondered out loud as he looked around. “How did I get here? Where even is here?” He then cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled out, “Hey, is anybody out there?” only to be met with silence. Of course, thereisn’twasn't anybody out here. He thought as he began to look around again. Alright Marcus, calm down. Panicking is going to do you more harm than good right now. Now, let’s see if I can find anything out here. Eventually, he noticed a rock formation out in the distance. Maybe I can find some shelter over there until the sun goes down, then I can start looking for someone out here. Hopefully the walk over there won’t be too bad.And one particular later one that stood out:
beckon callbeck and call8641026
Huh, never thought about the lower case 'he.' Show you what school teaches you about writing...or rather what they don't teach you. Thanks for the inputs.

I "TOO" would love to see this continued and not as a One Shot.
Not bad, but this means I have to keep waiting for people to treat that one like an actual riddle. It literally works on the same principle as 'What part of a chicken gets wettest in a rainstorm?" Answer: The Outside.
So, treating 'What have I got in my pockets?' as an actual riddle, the answer would be "The Insides".
Ok, not bad, but i seriously thought she was going to f*** him.
Also, heres a good riddle.
A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
What is it??
Answer: Egg
The human's eyebrows raised in surprise before he tilted his head and gave her an amused look.
"If that's some sort of sexual entendre, we can skip the riddle game," he shrugged. "I don't know about powerful, but you're right about the beautiful part."
The Sphinx's face turned red and she pawed the ground nervously.
I know that it isn't only me that thinks this...
This would do really well as a full fledged story.
It was written really well (apart from a few minor grammar mistakes), it flowed nicely and the characters worked well together.
I'm following you and up voting this.
Congrats, dear author.
I love the part where the Sphinx gets Marcus to come over to her so that she could hold and cuddle him like a teddy bear. It’s really cute, and it made me smile and laugh as well. They should sleep together more often.
Oh, and please make a sequel soon. I would really like to see how the relationship Marcus and Sphinx now have continually develop between them.
what has four wheels and flies?
Answer:a garbage truck
I bet he would've won If he used that one.
Is she reading his mind?
In that case the only way to win is to ask the question, answer for which he doesn't know but that answer could be easily checked. Like restore RSA private key from public key (he needs to remember that public key of course).
You. You're going to write more stories like this, and you are going to like it!
Here's my favorite riddle that I just had to memorize
You are locked in a room where there are two doors, one of them leads to death and one of them is your way out. There are two knights on either side of the room, one always tells the truth, and one always lies, you can only ask one question to only one of the knights, what is it?
8641732
Miss Haley Starshine has provided us with the definitive answer to that question.
I have an equestrian riddle:
"The softest of beds or the hardest of stone.
Seizing the day, or the wind, for our own."
8641802
How did she know?
8641732
ask what the other would say the correct door is and choose the other
8641802
Well, you still can't figure it out just by asking a question. And what if you deal physical harm to one of them and neither says anything, then you still can't answer it. Though even if you punched one and got a response, there's a low chance they're just gonna say what did or didn't happen to them. You'd have to ask if they were punched, and that would be your one question. I suppose some variation of the situation depicted in the comic could lead to the answer, but I can't think of anything right now.
8641371
If not a sequel, then, please at least change this from a one-shot to a story with multiple chapters.
that's weird that he only had that much in his pocket. mine are usually loaded with a ton of stuff i'll need. wallet, phone, keys, ID, ruler, tape, pencils, lighter, pocket knife, pocket sized sewing kit, and a few rubber bands at minimum.
8641936You would ask one of the knights if the other knight would say that the door (I dunno point to one of them) leads to the way out.
if the one you ask is telling the truth then he would know the other always lies (and the other way around) so whatever answer is given, the other is true.
there are a whole bunch of different variations of this problem. I remember one being on an island with natives that don't speak any language you know, one only says 'yes' in his language one only says 'no' in that language and the third randomly says yes or no in that language....I don't even know how to begin solving that one.
8642229
That's a very clever solution!
8641802
The 4th Doctor did it long before the Labyrinth chick. Still one of my favorite serials.
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramids_of_Mars_(TV_story)
I gotta find a book like that. Excellent story! And happy new year!
8641892
>:( u got it right.
8642303
I'm bored so i'm going to point out that if you clicked his link it leads to a web comic and a character named haley shot one of the 'knights' in the foot causing humor and the answer and had nothing to do with labyrinth. Though I didn't know they did this riddle in doctor who either so..the more yo know (shooting star)
