Michael's Riddle

Michael's Riddle is the name of one of the most perplexing and famous riddles invented by Michael Gray and his two companions, Luke Anderson and Kevin Smith surrounding mysterious events in Boston Massachusetts.

Riddle
"Melted, red rain that flies up and birds that crawl on the ground. Snakes that fly around and dragons that leap and bound. The fire that consumed the city of Pompeii, the forgotten prophecy. Tell me, my enemy's friend, what do you see?"

Possible Meanings
The riddle was invented in the late 1900s and still hasn't been solved. Though, several meanings of certain parts of the riddle have been created for the purpose of understanding what it meant.
 * Snakes that fly around was thought to be referring to Cyrib and her wish to fly around the earth with the bats she commanded that all fell on the very night she tried to take over the world, possibly Zheud and Tantibus's ability to fly, or Rotonah's prowling that is taken to the air.
 * Melted, red rain and the fire that consumed Pompeii was thought to be referring to the lava that blew up Pompeii and destroyed the ancient Roman city, red rain being the lava. Rain that flies up was probably the lava that was "flying" up out of the volcano. Soon after, this was thought to be talking about Aashthyn, whom went to watch Pompeii explode himself.
 * The forgotten prophecy was never fully figured out, could have been talking about the prophecy with Alyx and Atarev's names, since the prophecy of names was forgotten for thousands of years.
 * Birds that crawl on the ground was also never understood. A theory of its meaning is an avian animal that couldn't fly, but its relevance to the rest of the riddle remains in doubt.
