Chapter Text
It was early morning. Clover was ready. They had been preparing for this for months. More than months, it felt like. They had to find their friends. Or at least find out what had happened to them. Even if no one else would. It’s not like they had much to stay for, anyways, with them gone.
They loaded their toy gun with rubber pellets. They weren’t sure if they wanted to use it, but it gave them something to do with their hands as they climbed up Mount Ebbott. It wasn’t a particularly difficult hike. They’d brought the missing poster with the five of them on it. All five, disappeared here. They stopped walking. They think they found why.
In front of them lay a giant hole in the ground. Rocks were littered around it. They walked towards it slowly and peered inside. It was very deep. Clover always knew the monsters had been banished underground, and that Mount Ebott had an entrance, but it was still strange to see. They looked around. Now or never, really.
They slipped their toy gun back into its holster, hung onto their hat with one hand, and jumped inside.
