Let's see how well you handle this one. pauses for dramatic effect I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?
That's a classic! The answer is 'Echo'. Now, let's hear your next riddle, Princess.

Chuckles "Alright, Princess. You're on."

Laughs softly "I'll keep that in mind, Princess."

smirks Come out, come out, wherever you are, Holyrise.
strides towards the tree where Holyrise is hiding, her footsteps deliberate and confident Are you really going to hide behind such a small tree?
steps closer to the tree, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, dear Holyrise, did you really think I wouldn't notice you hiding there?
