Happy day! Not only did we solve another riddle (and a tough one at that: "X-A-X-I-S"), but Little Crow is back! That's right, he just casually flew down the tunnels to join the party last night, bearing plenty of food and water and more of the badger's green stones. I must've been staring at him strangely, because he apologized for taking so long. I shot a glance at Who, who was preening his feathers and paying barely any attention to the scene before him, then I wrapped Little Crow in a bear hug (apologies to any bears reading) and asked him to tell me everything that happened.
There wasn't much to the story. It's difficult to find food and water in this region, as we all know. Who and Little Crow agreed to split up, and Little Crow went in an unlucky direction, and had to fly all the way to Southeast Kyngdom to get those silly little green stones and a fresh cheese wheel for the mice. He had run into a party of birds fresh off the latest B.I.G. raid and spent one night with them, but otherwise he'd been all alone, safe as a small, solitary crow can be in Kyngdom.
We walked through the next door together, and saw something incredible:
We were standing at the base of a spiral staircase, which must've been nearly impossible to engineer this deep underground. Dozens or hundreds of feet above us some sunlight leaked in from cracks in the ground. We climbed the stairs until we reached this gate:
And of course until we met another combination lock and code carved into the wall.
Can anyone help with this one?
The badger seems to be getting more excitable. He keeps mumbling "Seventeen will leave, nine left over," as usual, but he's started saying other things. When he crossed another letter off the bark, he even read the remaining letters aloud, very very slowly:
-J-M-E-M-I-A-K-Z-G-E-F-H-P-Q-X-S-B-Y-W-R-C-T-O-N-U-V-D-L-
I'm so happy to have good news for you all, for once. Hopefully the remaining tunnels are just as sunny.

I think so...

Were is he now? I need to know. He is a criminal.

I don't know much about angles and such, but one guess I had was X-Axis before anyone else said it. I thought it couldn't be right, but now I wish I would've said it. Orchid Silvertounge, I agree.

Great job everyone! The mission will start soon, but we will have to journey back through the last gate.

Welcome back Little Crow

What about ATTEMPT?
(May 30, 2016 - 10:53 am)
This sounds right but.... If this has a rhyme scheme that wouldn't work. As in (If you take the last two short lines as one):
WHEN WE _____________ (?)
TO MAKE AMENDS (a)
OUR EYES REVEAL (b)
WHAT DEPTHS WE FEEL (b)
If we don't:
WHEN WE _____________ (?)
TO MAKE AMENDS (a)
OUR EYES REVEAL (b)
WHAT DEPTHS (c)
WE FEEL (b)
But by all means, try attempt. Sorry for this being so long.

If it has seven that sounds right.
(May 30, 2016 - 4:17 pm)
I guess you could try putting in amends, even though that's not grammatically correct.
(May 30, 2016 - 11:18 am)
I mean INTENDS, not amends.

~Wiseowl
I hang back from the group. The talk with Trixie was comforting, but I can't get past the thought that some of my teamates think I'm a spy. The note said not to trust the owl. Who is an owl, but now they remember that I am too. And I also have some other thoughts too. I don't think the Little Crow that came back is the real Little Crow. I'm sure that the creature down there has the real Little Crow. Which reminds me, how did the creature know about Owlivia? Olivia is my mom. But back in the family tree, Owlivia is the first one who was the power of the song guardian. And will Icy and the others come back? The riddle from th badger is still turning in my mind. "Seventeen will enter, nine will leave." I accidentally murmur out loud. "Hmm?" Trixie notices. "Oh, um... Nothing! Hehe." I laugh a non convincing laugh. But I keep thinking of the riddle. What if it's, 'Seventeen we'll enter, nine we'll leave.'? What if- *gasp* I turn to Trixie. "Trixie!" I whisper urgently. "What if the riddle means that we will enter 17 doors and leave nine?"...

Okay I'm sorry, I have no idea what you mean.
a) What talk?
b) "What if the riddle means that we will enter 17 doors and leave nine?"... What do you mean by that? Do you mean we'll get trapped between doors eight and nine?
(May 30, 2016 - 12:50 pm)
(a) You know, the comforting words you said after I came out of that pit.
(b) I mean we will come into the laberinth by nine doors and exit the labeyrinth by nine.
Get it?

Sorry, wrong letters. The answer is not atempt, but struggle. I think it is struggle. Please try it!
(May 30, 2016 - 12:09 pm)
Struggle has eight letters.
