The Unknown Message
The Seekers of Knowledge found themselves on another quest. This time they had to enter the great wizard tower of Vanya. She was to be caught and brought back to the city of Raptin for justice to be served.
Within the tower, the group had encountered many deadly traps and a few roaming monsters. These monsters had been altered using alchemy and were no longer natural. The group had taken many injuries and was having a hard time reaching Vanya.
They had entered a room that had a wooden chest in the right corner. It was a fancy chest with engravings and pictures on it. On the top of the wooden chest was some writing. Unfortunately, some of the letters were worn smooth and the message was unreadable.
Sid, being one of the smartest, realized it was a clue as to where they might find Vanya. The group secured the room and began to work on the clue message.
Can you help find the missing letters indicated by the *'s to complete the message and help the group find Vanya?
The wooden chest had the following written on the lid:
*h**e *o*r *e*r* i*, t***e i* yo** tr*a*u*e, w**re **ur *re*s*r* *s, t*e*e *s *o*r **ar*.
Missing Letters:

I want to thank Zonahobo for helping me correct the grammar of this teaser. And all of the editors for their input and help making it a better story and teaser. Many thanks!!
OK nice teaser NOOOOOOOOO GREAT TEASER
Great teaser sunrose I had fun *trying* to work it out
Great teaser! Another good one from sunrose, what else should I expect?
A lot of fun, but why "mystery" and not "language"?
It was recommended mystery by the editors.
this sonund like sumten you would hear in D&D (Deungons and Dragons)
Wow, I got it correct. Very fun, true,
and very creative.I really loved it. Great Job Sunrose! A+

Sniper, I supose you would find it there. I do play D&D, and have for about 11 years or so.
Oh yeah, thanks for the comments
it looked too comlicated
i really like this taser it was hard to figure out wich iam all the more grateful for. it was fun.
after 10 mins i quit trying it. but it was very fun!
Nice one!!!!
Great teaser, sunrose!! Once I had figured out the spacing between words.... I worked it out without using the letters given. Fun!!
This was pretty good
I was expecting more after such a good build up. Only 'word candy'.
i loved it!!!
i really liked that
If the letters were missing because they were worn smooth, where did they come up with the letters to replace the missing ones? I'm confused. . .
that was beautiful, thanks
cool!!!! it took me a while but i got it(my username doesn't describe me at all, lol). good job!!!
awesome teaser! this one is definetly going in my favorites!
I liked this riddle a lot. Not too hard, not too easy. Took me a while to figure out, but I got it right. Once I realised the first word isn't there and was where, I got it.
I found this very easy to solve, partly because of all the repetition. I didn't find it necessary to refer to the list of missing letters.
What I found unsatisfying here was that -- after all this atmosphere of mystery and fantasy had been created -- the resolution of the quest is wrapped up in the briefest, most perfunctory way.

nice one, easy too!
easy one, quite fun though
very clever, a bit easy
i can never figure out hardly any of these, but i got a pen and paper out and actually tried and worked ten minutes into it, had half of it done, and got aggrivated and looked at the answer...lol

Rather than try to "solve" the message, if you just look at it for a bit, you can pick up most of it. I had to work on the last word, heart, but the rest just sort of came to me. I guess it's like when you stare at optical illusions with your eyes out of focus. Anyway, off track here...
I enjoyed your teaser!
I enjoyed your teaser!
Good One.
Still, as with other teasers, this doesn't sound like a mystery teaser
But, for the actual atmosphere and storytelling, it has a mystery air...

very nice......only that i misunderstood the message.i thought you meant that the heart is in the CHEST(part of the body), and the treasure is nin the CHEST(the one they found)......doesnt it make sense?.....
the teser only gives us 1 "o" to work with and there are like 4 or 5 "o"s. it also would have helped if there were spaces.
mystery teaser?
I liked it and didn't find it too difficult or too easy. Just right. Good job!
Haa, this was verrrry trickky. But, someehow i figuredd it out.
I found it impossible, cause the answer has 2 W's, While the letter selection only has 1.
Great teaser, Sunrose!
Viper and McBobby, look again. To fill in the *missing* letters, you only need one O and one W.
This is a language teaser not mystery
