They follow and lead, but only as you pass. Dress yourself in darkest black, and they are darker still.  Always they flee the light, though without the sun there would be none.

A secret it is....

And the final riddle is:

It was the final riddle as they were all from a game called Baldurs Gate, a cracking game that is based on the Dungeons and Dragons game.
