The Mountain: The Cliff of time
         by Brandy
Page 2 of 6

Thus, the people that cast such magic has never been found according to some ancient myths has been discovered. What had happen when the magic was cast? Are they still alive? The cliff of time was never discovering until a great mountaineer was able to find the secret. His name was Hickuson. An unknown name to many people and the reason is simple. He became missing. Where did he go? He just accidentally slipped off the mountain. And they never found his body ever since. They claimed that only the chosen ones are able to go in the past. What is the secret? What can people do to find out the secret? Is it a myth or the truth? Nobody will ever know.

Then I jumped back to reality. I shook my head in disbelief. Can it be true? I asked in my own thoughts. That Thomas had gone to another world. Maybe the part about the mountain is just unreal. Maybe it's real... My thoughts clouded with more questions that I would have to wait and see.

"Andrea?" I asked for the first time.

"Yes?" She asked as she looks at me.

"I feel something is a missed here." I said softly. And I'm not kidding... I can feel evil.

Not any kind of evil. Evil of the past is what I feel close by the cliff.

"I feel it too." Andrea said as she looks at the cliff. "I bet you know the cliff's name."

"Yes. The Cliff of Time." I said. "I read it in a book once."

"I know. You had a flash back about that part just now." Andrea said.

I gaped at her strange. "How did you know?" I asked confused still having my mouth opened.

"Hehe. Close your mouth. You should know that when you're an angel you know everything." Andrea said with a chuckled.

"Oh." I said closing my mouth embarrassed. "Sorry. Didn't know angels has such powers."

"Well, at least you get to learn more about angels today." Andrea said with a smile.

"Uh... yeah. Heh." I said and look at the mountain. "The Cliff of Time is the highest cliff."

Andrea looks at me suddenly... well... I am able to tell she was looking at me. I took my eyes off of the cliff and look at Andrea.

"You must know, of course. You're gifted around mountains." Andrea smiled.

"Thanks. I know." I said with a smile and start to climb the mountain.

"Uh... Are you really sure about that Margraut?" Andrea asked me.

"Yes. I'm sure about this." I said. But... Am I?

I shrugged the question off and keep climbing the mountain. I got up higher and higher... then it happened.

"So! I got another visitor!" A voice boomed out from of nowhere.

I looked around for the voice.

"Time to fall! And be my prisoner!" The voice said.

I gasped, as I felt limped suddenly. The rocks suddenly slipped from my hands and I was falling and falling... I heard Andrea shouting my name but then there was no more.

I woke up and I noticed that I landed on something... I got up and checked... I gasped. It was Thomas.

I heard him groan suddenly.

"Thomas? You alright?" I asked him... and I knelt down beside him.

"Uh... yeah..." Thomas said has he rubbed the back of his head. Then he gasped. "Margraut? What are you doing here?" He asked me. He was confused.

"Uh... I knew that you were sent to another place." I said. "Plus... I read about the Cliff of Time from a book about mountains."

"Ah." He said has he sits up.
