Hail, Isferon!
Congratulations, first, on your success!It cannot have been easy to find someone to solve my riddles for you!No, do not scowl! Written in jest, and with love, Isferon.Why did I leave you these boxes? You must understand by now, surely!Into the first box, I placed a handful of earth.I wanted to remember the feel of that earth between my fingers forever.You will understand someday.Into the second box, I placed this letter.You refused to speak to me today, but with this letter I can speak to you.The third box is empty, for I leave its contents up to you.When the time finally comes for you, too, to sail West...I have gone on too long.This, then, was my last gift to you, Isferon, though it is as much a gift for me.I wanted one last riddle-game with you, Isferon.I hope you enjoyed it, and I will see you again. Good-bye, my friend!
