*Loracius looks gently down at the scroll. His eyes are drained. And he is half asleep. He is idly drawing some characters on a piece of paper.*
*Then a word flashes before his eyes... Turn* *He startles up.* What? Ringget! Come look at this! *He begins writing something frantically* Ringget! I've... solved the first paragraph! Your method worked!
*He stares down at the English verse now before him* Turning around an axis; spinning around a fiery ball; the core is made of hot molten mass, use it alphabetically and the next riddle you'll pass.
Okay, now anyone have any ideas how to solve Ammy's fiendishly complex riddle? He's says your allowed to include any suggestiosn in your post

Well, you can give the answer to the first two sentences, not on how to use that answer for the third .
I rather enjoyed making those riddles thank you ;D.
"Oh my god, Loracius, you're right. That's perfect! What could it be? A star maybe?" He says while scratching his hair, forgetting all about the visitors that seemed to have spurred them on to actually achieve something.
The guide at the door comes closer to the scroll and looks confused at their wit. The weird symbols just keep on coming in his head, making him all dizzy just looking at the scroll.

Star?! The guy that just left mentioned something about a star! I just ignored him! *The colour fades from Loracius' cheeks* Guide! Get him back up here now!

"Yes, get him back right now man! Don't you see this is a general breakthrough, snap out of it!" Ringget yells at the man standing in front of him. The guide is plunged back to the surface of the world and immediately runs after the one that went out.
"Ok, I wonder if he could translate it for us! I don't see star in Paaemsmlhe though, it'll probably be something completely different!"

*Ethan is hauled back into the room by the guard, sipping a plastic cup of water.*
*"What is it?" he says as he notices the agitated faces of the two scientists. The one with the name tag saying "Riggnet" asks him about the translation*
I just noticed the word from a sacred text the elders in an interesting society in an island called Khdarm by the natives. Tiny isle. Oceania somewhere. The elder knew some english and explained me the text, and I just recognized the words.. Not too sure about the "sun" part though, I remember it spelled a little bit different...
*takes a long an thorough look on the rest of the scroll*
Seems like that native language on one of the paragraphs *points*, but I can't recognize any more words...
*accidentally shakes his cup of water and a drop falls mere centimeters from the scroll. Everyone seems very angry all of a sudden.*

"Ok! Thanks, now please step aside, you seem to be very reckless with that water!" Says and aggitated RINGGET () all of a sudden.
"Oh, and you wouldn't happen to know if those elders still live on that island do you?"

"What are you then? A lost warrior from thousand years back! Get out of here and pick up your weapons where you left them! None of us have the time to play some monopoly with you! Get me a drink if you really feel interested!" Ringget practically yells at the kid frequently asking about his weapons.
Sorry , lost track there

Ringget was busy going through some papers and books, looking for other ways of cracking this weird code while Loracius was discussing with the others what the answer might have been.
Eventually he got quite annoyed with their bickering and errupted in fury as he turned around and yelled at them. "You fools! You still don't get it. This is from almost a thousand years ago! People didn't know QUATSCH! from the earth and the sun, not to speak about the solar system. They assumed that hell was below our feet. They knew from ancient history that the earth was round, so they assumed hell was inside. Don't you see. They're just referring to "A PLANET!" How hard could it be!"
Thrashing and waving his hands all the time to give his ideas that little edge over the rest (read: trying to get them to run back home out of sheer fear). The unappreciated amount of saliva that spat from his mouth while talking wasn't worse enough though, for the second Hiyamoto entered the room, he walked in the radius of Ringget's arms, the cups of water were thrown from his arms high up and dispersed their water.
The floor and the occupants of the room were all wet. Not Ringget though, he was seething. You could see the water boiling on his head. He had transformed from a social and friendly person to the most hateful and arrogant s0n of a b1tch (sorry swear filter ).
"You again! Haven't you annoyed me enough yet! Disturbing my every thought, interrupting my every action and now even making me all wet with the water I so needed for my dried out tongue! You people are all insufferable. Go doddle outside if you please, I'll get out of this mystery without runts like you around me!" In the meanwhile, he was drying the books, magazines and papers that had gotten wet. Not much of an improvement though, the saliva was once again running like a raging river, spewn from his mouth.
He pushed them all out of the door, safe for Loracius, who was laughing and smiling at the astonished onlookers. None seemed to want to go up against Ringget, they were afraid of his temperament and anger, they stood there in the hallway. Ringget slammed the door shut and that was that. He sighed and went back to his desk to work on.

That wasn't very nice... *Thinks...* We need more water to cool him down! *Takes the water tank in his hands, ready to enter again to cool down Ringget...* My char is a little tactless maybe, but he just likes to have some fun...

Hehehehe. You think the answer's Planet? The ancients considers the planets Gods did they not? Jupiter, Saturn, Mars. Ancient Greek, Planet means wanderers. Would Earth not be more fitting? Most people saw Tartarus to be on Earth, across the River Styx and underground. Perhaps the answer is Gaia or Terra?
... Unless the scroll comes from a later time period... And silly me, being under the impression that we just named 'em after them That is silly Mar is Mars because it's eerie hint of red made the Romans think it was there war god , I'm assuming that's because war=death=blood=red. Come on, they can't have known ALL the planets... Take Pluto.. or some of Saturn's moons...Well yes, Uranus was unknown to the Romans, as was every planet past it. However, Saturn and inwards were all known. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto simply carry on the naming tradition. All other moons were unknown as well, with the four largest moons of Jupiter only being found by a Christian Gallileo. These moons were also named to fit the Roman idea (except for a few which are Shakesperian characters). But you're right, we named the planets after their Gods, the Romans named them in honour of them. It's one of those things they passed down.

Damn you people, I hadn't thought it out that well, but it HAS to be planet ... I'm sorry, but if you keep on bickering then you'll never get to fight like Solar so dearly wants to .
