| Two brothers, a blanc facade, and an open door. Three is two is one is many. For the record, "blanc" is not a typo. Okay, it's been a day and I've had no responses so I'm going to start feeding you clues. You can ignore the second line, it doesn't give you any new information. Think of fairy tales. Time for the next clue. Blanc is french for white, so a blanc facade is- actually I can't say more than that without giving away the entire answer.

| Correct, but you have to narrow it down a little. There is one more fairy tale reference, and it should give you the answer. | |

| I think I've more or less brought this form to a standstill by this point, and I have a feeling that my original riddle was a little bit too challenging, so I'm going to end it here. I would have done this a couple of days ago if not for some technical issues. Â The correct answer was actually Ursa but since Wrecker was the first one to get Grimm I'm going to give him the point. Here's why it was Ursa.
First of all, the two brothers were the brothers Grimm, meaning it was a type of Grimm. You guys got this one. Secondly, the 'blanc facade'. This represents a white mask, meaning it was a Grimm with a white mask. Thirdly, the 'open door' was a reference to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. While this could have led to Yang, the fact that you had 'Grimm' and 'white mask' should have instead led you to the bears, meaning a bear Grimm- an Ursa.
The second line was unimportant, more a filler than anything else, but I'll explain it for you anyway. The three bears, the two brothers, the one mask, and the many Ursa. Three is two is one is many.
While I still believe that most riddles on this thread are far too easy and it seems like a quiz forum more than anything, it looks like my attempt to change this went too far in the opposite direction and I created one nobody could answer. I might make a new thread for more challenging riddles but until then this is me stepping away from riddling before people start to hate me. | |

| Hahaha!
Well, does anyone wanna write a riddle or should I do one....again?
And I'll be happy if you made another riddle like that, which is the 'hard' version, so to speak. | |

| Ima guess the giant spider thing from the black trailer, as the lyrics say "[i]take back[I] what you stole", so I'm assuming it's something that is protecting the stuff, rather than Adam taking it back, and it is black and red, and it climbs down from the shadows in the train. | |

| No. Ima write it again, but change the words slightly. I had thought putting it this way would make it too easy, but by the looks of it I didn't make much sense. "Many different colours, white, red, yellow, From darkness we bring, and much returns." | |

Is it the Schnee Dust Company? | |

| Yes!
The first line was indeed about dust. Then, in the second line, "from darkness we bring" means they get it from underground, in the quarry. Then, much of it returns, as it is either destroyed, or stolen by the White Fang, who I guess you could say are an "underground" organisation, working in the shadows.
Anyhow, the scores:
DrGustave - 1 MrManix - 1 Wrecker - 2 JL - 2 Shortstop - 1 Ziplock80 - 1 Swordslinger - 1 evilparsnips - 2 Daemonblade - 1 Psyrencalling - 1 | |
