Duels of good and evil,
A fighter of good am I,
Revealed beside watched words,
King of the black night sky.

What am I ?
The moon?
No, keep trying
Darkness: often held to be synonymous with evil and thus fights against good, rules the night sky. Watched words imply deception or lies by omission, something regarded dark behaviour, which are the opposite of truth again referring to the duel between good and evil.

Did I get it right?

I got the impression that "fighter of good was fighting for good, rather than against, but everything there checks out.

Might be my lacking skills in English, but I thought that 'fighter of' means fighting against it. Otherwise should not the words 'fighter for' be used instead?

EDIT: anyways, a new riddle:

A cloud was my mother,
the wind is my father,
my son is the cool stream,
and my daughter is the fruit of the land.
A rainbow is my bed,
the earth my final resting place,
and I'm the nuisance of man.

ok, marathon here. dont try and look up the answers pls, chances are u should know it anyway

1.
What has roots as nobody sees,
Up, Up, Up it goes,
And yet it never grows

2.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still

3.
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

4.
An eye in a blue face,
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
Not in high place"

5.
It cannot be seen, Cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, Cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first, and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

6.
Alive without breath,
Cold without death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

7.
This thing all devours:
Bird, seed, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountains down.

If you have heard these before, don't say anything. I mean come on, its not like these are from a book...
