Three doors; old, cracking wood that looked like they would disintegrate the moment you touched them. The left door had a sun to it's left, a star above it, and a moon on the right. The middle door had a moon to the left, the sun above it, and the star on the right. The right door had a star on the left, the moon above it, and the sun to the right.
((So, for reference:
Left door = sun, star, moon
Middle door = moon, sun, star
Right door = star, moon, sun))
"Hmm, stars, suns, and moons. Focus, do you think this has to do with the 'east of the sun, west of the moon' thing?" She stopped in front of the left door. "The star is east of the sun and west of the moon on this door...and the sundial's shadow points to this door. Could this possibly be the door we're looking for?"

Focus shrugged. "I'm not really sure. Are you sure, though? Maybe it means the actual sun, seeing the sun is over there." She pointed w/ a wingtip. "The left door wouldn't make sense if the riddle meant the actual sun."

"Yeah, but it didn't really make sense when taking it literally...since east of the sun and west of moon could be anywhere." Iist knew that there was weight to Focus's doubt, but if the kingdom was real, the door had to have been real too. She gripped the mage's key in her hand, looking towards the east past the warrior's feet to see if there was anything more in the distance that could hint to an entrance.

There wasn't anything, really, to see. The three doors kept on existing, waiting for you to make a choice. You then remember Uje is still waiting for you some way back.

"Oh gosh, I hope Uje is okay..." Iist approached the left door, unable to shake the feeling that it matched the riddle well. "Please let this be the right door..." she said under her breath, pressing her hand to the door.

You pressed your hand to the door, and nothing too serious happened. What did happen, was that the door suddenly sprouted spikes, but you were fast enough not to get impaled. Also, ninja stars began shooting out of the stone cracks at you.

"Crap!" Iist dodged out of the ninja stars' way, getting out of the door's reaches. "How is this "nothing too serious"?!" She huffed and stared at the other doors. "What if I try them all?"

"Uhm..." Focus lifted a talon as if she was going to ask a question. "I suggest you don't do that. You might not be so lucky with the other doors. Come here, and I'll see if I can test them with my magic."

"Good idea," Iist said warily, coming out of hiding behind a rock. She hid behind Focus while approaching the doors again.

Focus put her talons down again and chanted some sort of spell. Simultaneously, the middle and right doors all sprouted spikes, while the middle one then burst into flames and the right one shot spears. "Seems like none of them are safe. Or, maybe it's just a safety precaution." Focus said as the middle door continued to burn, although suspiciously the wooden door was perfectly fine under the fire.
