Click on the key symbol (2nd from left) to reveal the riddle then click on the iPad to get the form.

To be in with a chance, solve the riddle at altarofbones.co.uk

Blood flows into the sea
The sea touches the sky
From the sky falls the ice
Fire melts the ice
A storm drowns the fire
And rages through the night
But blood flows on into the sea
Without end

- Gold, Palladium, Platinum, Rhodium, Silver, Brass, Tin
- Ruby, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Diamond, Fire opal, Iolite, Onyx
- Water, Wind, Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal, Aether

I'm inclined to think it's the second one (Ruby - blood, aquamarine - sea, sapphire - sky, diamond - ice, Fire opal - fire, Iolite - storm/water (blue) and Onyx - rages/night (black)) but would welcome any other suggestions or confirmation :o

    The Riddle:

    Blood flows into the sea
    The sea touches the sky
    From the sky falls the ice
    Fire melts the ice
    A storm drowns the fire
    And rages through the night
    But blood flows on into the sea
    Without end


    I was thinking the last one: Water, Wind, Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal, Aether

    Blood flows into the sea (SEA - WATER)
    The sea touches the sky (SKY - WIND)
    From the sky falls the ice (FALLS FROM THE SKY - EARTH [falls from the sky onto earth])
    Fire melts the ice (FIRE melts - FIRE)
    And then I'm lost haha.
    :beer: Thank you to everyone! :beer:

    I went into the Australian website for the actual book, and they seem to have the same comp running. They actually have a clue "Ruby", so I would assume that your answer is correct, as the other answers do not contain the word RUBY. Link below. Hope this helps

    I get this when I hit submit.

    "The change you wanted was rejected.
    Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."

    Anyone else having problems?
