Question

If the first of me is lost, than the battle can't be won.

If its arrived at, than the fighting is not done.

It is where the waters have begun.

My second is not much, I will confess.

The smallest things that you could ever guess.

All of those and still my second's less.

If my whole is had, than surely you are dead.

Else much of you in legends will be said.

After a lot of thinking and rereading it, this is what I come up with (nicely put together btw)

electric charge? Or something to do with the electricity

"If my whole is had, than surely you are dead"- when you close the electric circuit you are dead (well if you are connected to it somehow)

:huh:

Iceberg? :D

Nope. But I'am curious how you got to that. :)

Groundzero?

I can understand the zero part, although ground doesn't fit very well.

The second part of the word is not "zero"

;) .

Thank You.

No. Not electricity. You need to break the word down into it's two parts.

Nope. But I'am curious how you got to that. :)

was fishing for answers. :lol:

But on a serious note, I thought of that answer mainly because of the following lines.

If the first of me is lost, than the battle can't be won.

If its arrived at, than the fighting is not done.

It is where the waters have begun. - Rivers are known to originate from Glaciers.

My second is not much, I will confess.

The smallest things that you could ever guess.

All of those and still my second's less.

If my whole is had, than surely you are dead. - I was thinking of the Titanic ship.

Else much of you in legends will be said. - Again Titanic.

Doesn't agree with all the lines, again a beautifully worded riddle. :D

headless

Bravo.

If the first of me is lost,the battle can't be won. "don't lose your head"

If its arrived at, than the fighting is not done. "come to a head"

It is where the waters have begun. "headwaters"

My second is not much, I will confess.

The smallest things that you could ever guess.

All of those and still my second's less. "it's less!"

If my whole is had, than surely you are dead. "dead and headless"

Else much of you in legends will be said. "like sleepy hollow et. al."
