(( … deltora quest rings a bell… squints. was that the thing with dragons and evil rock / egg / stone thingies that needed to be roasted? ))

(Well, Deltora Quest was more for a riddle I got another time, the one you gave was used in Heir Apparent (though I think it’s a common riddle, that’s just where I know it from).

And I… don’t think so… To be fair, it was in three series and I can’t quite remember the plot of Deltora Dragons off the top of my head, but I think? Deltora Quest was the main characters going to the different parts of the land to find the gems that go into a chain that held great power, though, each having a different ability. …And then there’s Deltora Shadowlands, which I remember not in the slightest. :V )
