Chapter Text
You gaze down the hole of Mount Ebott. Legend has it that two children have fallen down already. While the second one was never found, the first one apparently came back. Granted, they were dead, but that isn’t what interests you. You’re more excited by the other part of the legend; that what carried them back was a monster.
If something like that is true, then that must mean there are more monsters out there. Somewhere deep inside Mount Ebott the monsters wait. If you can jump down and come back with the monsters' heads in your hands, you will be hailed as a hero. No one in your village will have to fear for their return ever again. Your blood is already pumping at the prospect of getting to fight.
You tighten the knot of your bandanna, and bring it up from your neck so that it covers your mouth. There’s no telling what kind of airborne substances are down there, but you won’t let them get to you. Unlike the other two that supposedly fell down there, you came prepared.
With one last tug at your gloves to make sure they are secure on your hands, you jump feet first down the opening of the mountain. You make sure to keep yourself positioned correctly so you don’t hurt yourself on the landing.
You sigh when you finally reach the bottom. You were expecting there to be something waiting for you at the bottom of the fall, given how terrified of this place people seem to be. You were also expecting some sort of difficulty that made it impossible to leave. As it stands, the inside of the mountain is also full of crooks and crevices. You can climb back out anytime you want, so problem.
This adventure is going to be a walk in the park for you. As far as you can tell, the hardest part is going to be deciding if you should take out one, two, or all the monsters down here before dinner. Not a bad decision to be stuck with. You may even make this a regular excursion if it ends up being as fun as you think it will be.
