Page 1 of 6

Back for an all-new adventure I'll say.

Dedicated to Harry, Juan, Patrick, Thomas, and Jeff. Hope you understand the meaning of the story sometimes. Life not only counts. Time does.

The Mountain is only a dream that I had once in my life and still it bothers me at some times that I never thought I would have. Well this story is different. What am I trying to say? Well, the story is always different but there's something that is going to be different in this story. Where's the book that Margraut written? Uh... the book no longer exists, well, that's just another story. Oh, well. Onto the story of a new lifetime and hope you like it.

I should have always known that there be another adventure soon. Well... it happened when a new boy came into town... His name is Thomas, I heard Andrea say one day... Well... I told him about my life one day just to be friends with him. He seemed... not surprised.

"I know... I heard of you before." Thomas said.

"What? What do you mean that you heard me before? I am only famous here in this county. My books didn't go nation wide. " I said

"I know." He said with a smile.

"Huh?" I said, as I look at him strange.

"Heh... hello, Thomas." Andrea said walking down the hallway.

"Why, hello, Andrea. How are you today?" Thomas asked her with a warm smile.

"Oh, gods. You two going out or something." I asked them.

"Uh... no... maybe you should get an update about what's going on." Andrea said.

"Uh... yeah." I said confused.

"Remember your book called The Mountain?" Andrea asked.

"Uh... yeah..." I repeated.

"Well, the book didn't intend to change over time didn't it?" Andrea asked.

"Change?!" I asked confused more.

"Uh... yeah. Changed." Thomas spoke at last. "You see... the cliff of time is in the book now."

"Mmm...? This I'm interested in." I said with a curious look.

"I'm afraid that only you hold the information about the mountain called Time Age Mountain." Thomas said.

"Me? Time Age Mountain? Huh? I'm confused." I said to Thomas.

"Your adventure will start soon." Andrea cut in.

And she was right. My adventure started the next day when the most shocking news that I never knew would happened. Thomas had jumped off a mountain. What's more shocking is that I knew the mountain all too well. Weird. I guess I would say it's a new adventure all right. For me to see the mountain, Time Age Mountain, in order to solve this mysterious happening, and what's so weird... Thomas's body is not found.

"Margraut! Margraut! Where are you?" Andrea yelled, as I was getting ready for school.

"In the bathroom, Andrea!" I yelled back.

"Oh." Andrea said.

"Well... I'm ready to go hiking." I said as I went outside to where Andrea is.

"Cool." Andrea said with a smile.

"Well, then, let's get going." I said with a smile.

"Something tells me that you have a crush on Thomas." Andrea said with a smile.

I gasped. "I do not!" I said quickly. Well... maybe I do.

And that became a secret for a long while. I didn't told Andrea as we were transported to Time Age Mountain.

The mountain was not too big as Angel Mountain. That is something that I didn't expect to a mountain. It's more likely to be a cliff more than anything. I then had a sudden vision about this cliff.

It was from a book that I had read in the past. It had said:

Through and through, there was only one cliff. Ancient magic was able to make this cliff go back in time.
