Lilith opened her mouth to speak, but instead was left in awe, watching exactly what Evaris had just mentioned.

In a few seconds, they had been transferred to a land with dinosaurs, rocks and another forest. Then someone approached them.

“Hi, everyone. I had been waiting for you. You are 5 million years early. May I please know the lady’s name?”

Lilith looked at this animal. It was a large green dragon, very pretty, who did not throw any fire when he spoke, at least until now. Lilith was always afraid of dragons.

“Hi, I am Lilith. What is your name?”

“Hi Lilith, nice to meet you. I am Galdorin.”

“Hi, Galdorin, nice to meet you too. What does your name mean”?

“I am an ancient sorcerer and I guard arcane secrets. Now, as I understand, you need to finish your strange journey. So in order to do so, I have just one question for you, Lilith. If you answer correctly, you will exit safe and sound, if not… I don’t know what will happen.”

“Ok, you seem to know too much about us and our journey. Please speak the final question”, Lilith replied with an awe.

“Which is the creature that has one voice, but has four feet in the morning, two feet in the afternoon, and three feet at night?”

Lilith thought about it for a moment, then suddenly remembered.

“Ah, it is the first riddle of the Sphinx. I know the answer, I read it in a book. It is a man! It crawls at four as a baby, then walks in two feet as an adult and needs a cane, so walks at three feet in old age.”

“That is correct, said Galdorin”.
