Riddles of Death...

I went to an opera yesterday. Our landlord's daughter sang in it and gave me a ticket.

First, the said opera was the number one coolest story that I've ever heard, comparable only to Braveheart. It was the best representation of the gospel I've ever heard. It made me so happy.
Second, there were riddles in the story that I wanted to see if anyone could figure out. I answered all of them wrong in my head but got kinda close on two of them.

If you're going to play, please DON'T CHEAT. Cheating includes previous knowledge of the answer used as if you figured it out and using any type of search engine.

The stakes are high... If you get all three right you get right to marry the a cruel queen and if you fail, you die.

Here are your riddles....

1. What is the name of the phantom which spreads its wings at night over the black infinity of humankind, which is invoked by all, but which disappears at dawn? What is this thing which is born every night and which dies every day?

2. It flickers like flame, but is not flame. Sometimes it rages, sometimes it is languorous. When one is defeated, it grows cold, when one is victorious it is hot.

3. Ice that sets you on fire, but which becomes icier from your fire. One who, setting you free, makes a slave of you. One who, taking you as a slave, makes you a King. What is this frost which gives off fire?

Once we figure out the answers I'll give a link to a great synopsis on the plot if you're interested.

Peace friends,
