I protected secrets, but also swim in the water in cold lands. When all of us are removed, to the sound of trumpets, they say the world shall end.

I am born from a plant, but I do not come from above it. You feel me when you dig in the dirt.

I am an animal named with two words, a place, in which I am not from, and another animal, in which I am not related to.

I flicker soft in twilight’s grip, a tiny dancer on night’s lip. I wear a lantern on my back, to guide the dark along its track. Though not a star, I briefly shine, what am I? A tiny glow divine.

you can trust my approval; I'm elite when I fight. I am cute as a button; I close things up so tight. I'm swiftly independent; and I frequent the port. I will guard all your secrets; still I'm hunted for sport.
