Morose, k1ng trudged into the next area, meek and quiet and unlike himself. Who are you, he'd asked. Who are you.
Not good enough. That was the answer.

Staring up at the cat, k1ng half-heartedly shrugged his shoulders. Truthfully, he answered:
"I don't know."
It smiled like another version of himself did, empty and wide and all teeth and no bite, and told him in the sweetest, dulcet tones, how he was wrong.

"What breaks when you say it?" k1ng asked, remembering the sort of riddle used by teachers to instil silence into class.
The cat laughed, and guessed with ease: "Silence, of course. Next."

For k1ng's convenience, with obvious mockery in his yellow, slit-pupil eyes, the cat repeats the same riddle.
"Death," the dormouse said. "It's always death."

k1ng fidgeted, uncomfortable with the way the Cheshire Cat looked at him.
There was a long, awkward swath of silence.
"What goes up, but never comes down?"
The Cheshire cat howls with pleased laughter, extending a singular gleaming claw. "Your age, dormouse. What else could it be? Next!"

This time, the Cat asked: "What can I hide but always find?"
"I don't know," k1ng replied, and with every failing riddle, his demeanour further quieted.

"How many months have 28 days?" k1ng chanced, expecting the cat to guess it.
"All of them. My, my. You're a dull one, aren't you? Next!"
This wasn't a world of escapism. It was a world that did nothing but remind him of all his failures, one by one.

Perhaps the cat took pity upon him, this time, because he got it.
"What is flat but sharp at the edges?"
Clutching his tail, k1ng chanced his guess: "A knife. It's just a knife."
"Correct."

"Which weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?"
The cat looked at him, baffled, and it was his turn to say: "I don't know."
"A ton," k1ng said, collecting his rewards. "A ton."

How big was this forest, anyways? How many times could he think he was heading one way, towards one destination when... no, hadn't he just passed that tree? Or did it just happen to look like a tree he'd seen a little while ago? It was... a tad difficult to tell at this point. All the trees looked the same. Each rock, each step... it was as if someone simply took a single section of a photo, then duplicated it countless times to form this neck of the woods. He pressed on, sure the strange section of the forest would fade away into another strange scene. For a time though... it did not.
Till he spotted the different tree. Signs? He peered at the strange, twisted tree. Were the signs pointing to... the ground? Was that a clue for something? As he began to take a closer look at the ground... he tensed up, hearing a voice above him. Straightening, the Gryphon stared upward. Did... the tree speak? Wouldn't be the first. Was it waiting for him to... respond then? This tree? Yet it sounded almost higher than that, the voice. "I'll take either, whichever you'd give."

The AI, bless its heart, thinks it is capable of outsmarting you. Linguistics and word games go together like peanut butter and jelly, and so before the Cat can even finish saying "What is flat but sharp at the edges?", Via answered:
"A knife."
She was exactly the correct amount of smug.

Required him to back up a few paces before he could see the figure slowly forming above the sign. Or at least what was visible of the feline. When it introduced himself, the Gryphon gave a snort. There were a lot of Cheshire Cats around, though this one... certainly seemed much more genuine. Being an actual cat. When it proposed a game, a riddle, he'd nodded in agreement. Why not? Best to see where this would lead at any rate.
"What can I hide but always find?"
Frowning a bit, he gave a shrug after a moment. "Your breath?" He wasn't one for riddles, but he gave it a shot.

"The answer is your shadow. It follows you everywhere, and hides anywhere. Quite tricky, that shadow." Burn scowled lightly to the answer, yet was... oddly intrigued by it. Perhaps he should look into riddles another time. As it was, the Cheshire moved the conversation right on along, opening the floor to him. He rose a pale brow. Ask the cat a riddle?
For a while he stood silent, trying to figure one out. Then, carefully in how he placed his words, he began. "It burns you when touched, yet finds our air cold. It runs when inside, yet grows still when out. What is it?"
The feline remained silent for a spell of its own, longer than his own silence, before finally speaking, "Hot water?"
Burn had the dignity to look a tad bit shocked that the cat had gotten it wrong before bowing his head. "The answer is lava." The cat did not seem overly pleased to have been stumped, but it was polite in its loss. Inwardly, he couldn't believe he stumped the cat. He wasn't good with answering riddles, how did he manage to stump it? But as he glanced down to the treasure chest, and looked back to thank the Cheshire, he noted it'd already vanished.
Well. Least he got his loot.

"If you throw me out the window, I'll leave a grieving wife. Bring me back, but through the door, you'll see someone giving life. What am I?"
The cat laughed, unimpressed by how clever Asimovia thought she was.
"The letter n, dear. Next!"
