The paper says:

A riddle for you,
Here's the clue

I am always around you,
but in a different form.
I come once a year in my real form,
then leave,
I can make you laugh,
I can make you sniffle.

(Oh yea, you get one guess each)

I look at Winter, confused.

"It could be a season? Like fall or winter. It's always around us but it leaves", I comment, not quite sure how to respond to the riddle.

"What do you think it is?" I ask.

Dragon Wisp perks up her ears in curiosity, wondering the same thing.

I quickly copy the riddle down and shove the paper in my bag. "Maybe it's a type of flower or the rain. It could be wind/air as it can carry allergins to make you sneeze and leaves that make you laugh. It also always changes" I rub a hand on the back of my neck. "I'm not the best at riddles," I say nervously. "and the season works too" My earns turn down and my tail winds nervously around my leg. "It also could be a Ryori, I mumble" Pyropis press's her snout to my hair briefly to comfort me.

I glance at my sylesti, seeing if her expressions have any sort of clue.

Dragon Wisp stares back, tilting her head to the side, not giving a clear sign or even an indication of if she really understands what is going on.

I crack a small smile before looking back at the paper.

"What's the clue? I see the riddle... but what.." I look around, seeing if there is any signs of what possibly could be the answer. "It could be love..? Or friendship..?"

(brb)

(Alright see you in a bit)

(you know what I'll take both awnsers It was a hard riddle it could've been both but was looking for snow)

Two things appear: Thing a glowing white stone for feather, and a brass key for Winter

(what do you guys do?)

I hmm as the key shows up. I smile at Feather as I pick up the new key. "Oh my god," I say facepalming. Feather gives me a curious look. "I forgot I had a key ring on my bag this whole time" I explain chuckling as I fish out the gold key. I clip both keys to the ring and turn to Pyropis. "You feeling okay?" I question. "no feeling like you got poisoned right?" I say hugging her leg. This is one of those times I wish I was taller because Pyropis is giant and I'm so short I can only hug her leg, with her on all four legs at that. She normally sits on her hind legs anyway! Wait. I'm so dumb. I have wings. I facepalm again and fly up a few feet to hug her neck as she smirks, "Yeah Yeah girl, thanks for putting up with me" I speak into her neck.
(I decided to make my skin a light gray and changed my ears If you want to see I edited the pic in the post that said this is me)

(O.K thanks, and A question, soo far is it good? it's my first interactive story ^w^)

(back!)

I glare at the stone, with a temptation to pick it up.
"Haha, yea yea...", I respond to Winter, not really paying attention to what she said. Dragon Wisp walks up beside me and rubs her tail against my leg to snap me back to reality.
"Sorry girl! It's just very different", I mumble to her before hugging her tightly.
I release after a couple seconds and look at Winter. Should I pick up the stone?"
