The cave sits almost hidden against the rocky face of the cliff. If not for the moldy sign on that thin winding road, you would have missed it completely. Standing at the entrance, you see nothing but darkness.
"Hello?" You call out, shuffling uneasily in front of the creepy cave. A sign hung crookedly from the top of the cave entrance: "Eevee's Cave of Riddles and Trials".
What would you find here? You gulped as you thought of every possibility. Was it a mistake coming here? Who would you meet? And image of an old hag with warts on her face, wreaking of old laundry who was also fond of hugs and getting into your face made you shudder in fear. Maybe you should leave...
Something in the darkness stopped you. A tall figure, thin and graceful, walked out towards you. They held a lamp in one hand and was donned in a dark grey robe. When they got near enough, you could see that it was a woman, about in her 20's (maybe she just looks younger?), with dark straight hair and the palest eyes you have ever seen. You looked away, unnerved by her eyes, but her gentle voice calms you.
"Come inside," she said. "Let me show you what I have."
She lead you deep inside the cave, past a multitude of rooms blocked off with thick doors of wood and leather. Some were bolted with heavy iron chains, a terrifying sound coming from behind it. What lies behind those doors? What is this woman going to show you?
Finally, at the end of the long, winding tunnel, you come to a large cavern filled with...
"Cured Wajas?!" You gasp. She nods slowly.
"Each one was brought to me by individuals like you, as well as my...superiors." Before you could question her, she continues, "Each one is up for grabs, provided you can solve my riddles. Everyone can only get one." She turns towards you with her pale, challenging eyes. "Do you have what it takes to solve my riddles and obtain a cured Waja for yourself? Or will you fail and pass your prize to another person's hand? It is up to you."

Do you have what it takes? There will be riddles for Waja and trials and contests for other things, so step right up, polish your noodle, and prove yourself in the Cave of Riddles and Trials.
