Um..okay, wasn't prepared to win. Lemme think...


"All four elements combine by me."





[And no, it's not Captain Planet. ]

The World?

[em_idol_twins]

The magician ?

[ShinyAeon]

Neither World nor Magician, but good guesses!

...at what point do I give another clue...?

I tend to give them every time I log on if there hasn't been a correct guess.

[ShinyAeon]

Very well! And thank you.


Clue two...continues on from the first...

"All four elements combine by me,
Though one in my hands is all you'll see."

[nisaba]

The Fool.

He holds a Wand.

[ShinyAeon]

No, not the Fool...though you're right in that those clues could apply to him as well.

Third time's the charm?

"All four elements combine by me,
Though one in my hands is all you'll see
After the end but before the fall..."

[nisaba]

<mystified> Judgement? The trumpet representing Air?

[ShinyAeon]

No, sorry. Also sorry it took so long to reply, I woke up late and didn't have time to check this morning before work...

Well, I think this last line will make it a giveaway, so I'm only going to give the first word of it. (I'd rewrite and extend it, but I'm also afraid I won't be able to make two more lines that both fit and rhyme....)

But I will also give another clue: the wording of the first line is very deliberate. Notice, it doesn't say "combine IN me," but "combine BY me." (And I don't mean as in "nearby," either.)


See if this makes any more sense now:


"All four elements combine by me,
Though one in my hands is all you'll see;
After the end but before the fall...
Caution (...)"

[ShinyAeon]

Okay, no more guesses...so now I'll just post the full poem.


All four elements combine by me,
Though one in my hands is all you'll see
After the end but before the fall,
Caution: remember, proportion is all.
