The High Mountains, Part 8


Nerdy_Raichu

Me: *following frim above; whispers* Are they trying to get off the mountain, too?


Nightmare shrugs. "Who would want to stay on a crumbling mountain?"

The group travels along the side the mountain for a long, long time. All while watching parts of it disappear into the abyss of the clouds. For a moment when the clouds part, you see that despite the smell of the forest there is actually nothing below the mountain. If they were to stay, there would be no hope for survival.

Tired and bones aching, they eventually reach a cave. The leopards roar for them and dash inside. As this happens, the entire mountain quakes violently. The three skeletons bolt after the leopards.

They come to a great archway that hummed with an active portal. The leopards point to it with their noses.

"A way home!" Horror exclaims.

The cave around them begins to crack open.

"We don't have much time! Get going!" Nightmare barks.

The three skeletons run towards the portal. Just before Geno goes in, he is stopped by the leopards. The parents hold their cubs to Geno, a sad look in their eyes. Geno pauses, then takes the cubs. The parents give their cubs one last lick, then bound out of the cave. The cubs cry for their parents.

Geno holds the cubs close, then escapes through the portal.

Crow hangs chained to a cold, stone wall. The room is dark and empty, except for a throne. FC sits on the throne, legs crossed and looking a bit bored. Standing beside her it Entity, who is just snacking on some cookies.

"Are you satisfied now?" Crow growls. "You've just taken three lives. And for what? A game?"

FC chuckles. "Crow, Crow, Crow. You wouldn't understand my intentions." She smiles widely. "The game has only just begun, old friend."

FC snaps her fingers. The chains holding Crow vanish and she falls to the ground. As she stands, flames light around her hands and she glares at FC.

FC sighs. "Dear me. Don't you know I control this world? What you do, what you say? What you think. Put away the flames."

Crow stares for a good few moments. Then the flames go out. FC stands up.

"Everything here is planned. Everything has gone exactly how it's suppose to. Do you think you can stop me now?"

Crow blinks. "What horrible things are you planning next?"

"Something...interesting."

Lights flash on beside FC's throne. Three cylinder pods full of a greenish liquid are illuminated. Three familiar shadows float inside them, but you can't quite make out who they are.

Crow's eyes widen. But before she can say anything, the ground under her opens and she falls through, disappearing.
