As you set off toward the Muffin Mountains, the air dances with the scent of freshly baked treats. Vibrant muffin-shaped peaks rise high into the sky, dusted with powdered sugar like a snowy cap. You feel a sense of excitement; perhaps the fluffy mountains hold the key to understanding the lurking threat to the kingdom.
Upon reaching the first summit, you're greeted by a wise old Muffin Sage, whose blueberry eyes twinkle with ancient knowledge. "Ah, a brave soul!" he exclaims. "The stale force you seek has been causing mischief in these parts. But I can’t share all I know unless you pass my riddle: What rises in the oven but falls in the rain?"
Deep in thought, you ponder the riddle, feeling the weight of the kingdom's fate on your shoulders. Will you solve it and gain the Sage's wisdom, or will you search the slopes for clues elsewhere?
The choice is yours.
