Submitted by diggorius rex on Thu, 10/09/2025 - 12:00 PM

Welcome back—unlucky thirteen,

Where shadows stretch and clues grow lean.

The veil is thin, the air is brisk,

So tread with care… and maybe risk.

A nod to last year’s final scene

Eileen’s stone in twilight sheen.

The Coldest who found her resting place

Unlocked the path with ghostly grace.

Before you dive into this year’s spell,

Here’s where past secrets used to dwell:

Then fertile paths rise toward the flame.

A shadowed star in foreign light.

A hero so small yet so bold,
He waits beneath a numbered street.

His box hums with beats old and new.
This one guards a hidden door,
While dreaming of his own debut.

Above the green, the elder stones stand,
Its bones of brick, its breath of flame.
It holds the weight of many hands,
And whispers still the builder's name.

A shadowed wing beyond the core,
Where echoes hum in tempered grace.
It lends its shape, but asks no more,
An extended limb that guards the space.

A traveler strange and profound,
his scarf a trail through shifting light.
He offers sweets where clues are found,
then vanishes deep into the night.

past drums that echo through the skies.
The leaves conceal his winding maze —
but which key hides where truth lies?

A violin's notes through midnight's hum,
Books lean like minds that never slept.

Where stories turn yet none are told?
A whisper caught on autumn’s breeze—
Where they converge, you'll find the doh.

He spun from wheels that once were stealed,
A solo path, his sax revealed.

A foggy lane beneath the moon.

Now name the link beneath his beat.

One gripped a blade with a deadly show,

And breath escapes on quiet breeze.

Clue 10

Branches hum a magickal tune,
A heavenly stairway beneath the moon.
Kindled roots in shadowed swoon,
Echoes whisper what’s opportune.

Real prize lies not where children cheer,
Rackets clash with nets and spin.

Courts below, where brine meets grin.

Past cukes that sour and echoed calls,
A wooded seam, half heard, half seen.
Reading breath where silence sprawls
Know the page where truths convene.

The official meaning of the clue.
