Master Riddle

To begin locate a three-digit door numbered between 100 and 650, ending in 4. The first digit should be half the value of the third digit, while the second digit is the sum of the first and third digits. The old man waits. Within the quote find the four word title of a debut novel published in 1977.

Next, isolate the two letters between the first and last names of the books’ author. Combine these letters and search for them @ Paradise123. A single listing will appear. Navigate to the page describing the door.

This page contains a pair of words that form your subsequent clue. Find them using the riddle below:

I am not a star in the sky, yet I shine bright in many an eye. Artists’ hands often capture my flare, in paintings, logos, and everywhere. Though I never actually rise nor set, my presence is a sure bet. In form, I vary, yet I am one; what am I?

Search this answer on YouTube. At or near the top you should find a 9-second video with less than 4 views at the time of posting. The uploader’s name corresponds to a business in California. Locate this business on Google Street View, where beneath the business name, four digits are displayed. Ignore the first digit and reverse the order of the following two.

Discover the memorable door and scroll to its bottom to find a four digit year. Enter this year on YouTube.

In a realm where time is key, I exist for all to see. Not too long, nor too brief, I hold a tale beyond belief. In minutes three and seconds forty-four, find a story in the digital video sea. Two titans clashed. One, a beast from tales of old, fierce and fearsome, bold and cold. The other, a warrior of silver and red, battles for peace, it’s often said.

This battle is between?  __________ vs ___________
