A man, wandering in the mountains alone, came to a pass guarded by a huge warrior. Having no weapons, or indeed any other possessions but for an empty rucksack, he decided that the best course would be to frighten the ruffian away. He called out, "What are you afraid of?" The other haughtily answered that he feared nothing. How did the man get rid of the guard?

He said him, "I have nothing in my rucksack."

... A simple riddle, when you know the answer. An old one in Airyglyph; it's a dragon in the version I learned.

Too simple for you? Hm...

I start with the letter e, I end with the letter e. I contain only one letter, Yet I am not the letter e! What am I?

[OOC: If you want Albel to guess right, the answer is 'an envelope' :P]

Contain one letter?

I can only think of a particularly empty messenger's bag, but that doesn't end with e...

Hm... Same idea. I'll just say you are right this time.

Impressive! So you got it after all. Hm, not that I'm surprised, of course.
