The Mountain: The Cliff of time by Brandy
Page 3 of 6 "Ow... but did you have to land on me?"
"Sorry..." I said as I smiled.
"You already know about the mountain before you even seen it... one of signs
had came true." Thomas said almost to himself... I looked at him strange.
"Signs?" I asked confused.
"Uh... ancient wizards and witches." Thomas said.
I looked at him weird now. "You think... that I am one." I said.
"Well, yeah." Thomas said.
I looked away from his face confused... How can I be the chosen one? I
thought
to myself... but even if I am, how can I use my powers?
Then I heard Thomas throw in his breath. I turned toward to what seems to be
the spot he was looking at. Then I gasped. A dragon.
"Ack! A dragon! Run!" I manage to say.
"Uh... yeah!" Thomas said as he got up and run. I ran after him.
Then I noticed that Thomas tripped. I stopped and kneel by him... but I then
notice something was not right... why isn't the dragon chasing us? "Thomas."
I
whispered. "The thing is not after us."
"Huh? Really?" Thomas got up and looked at the statue of the dragon.
"Whoa."
"Didn't notice that before." I said as I got up and looked at the statue.
"It seems so real."
"That you are right, young one." A voice said behind them. I jumped and so
did Thomas. The person laughed a little. "I am one of them who made this place
come to life."
"Really?" Thomas asked the woman behind us.
"Yes, I am." The woman said with a smile. I finally turned around I think.
"My name is Delia."
"My name is Margraut Midpoina." I said as I bowed my head.
"And I'm Thomas Yokishu." Thomas said as he bowed his head also.
"You two should not be here." Delia said.
Thomas and me looked at each other and looked at Delia with confused
looks.
"I see that you are confused. It is because of Agus." Delia said as she
bowed her head as if she is afraid of the name.
"Agus?" I asked. "I never heard of her."
"Of course, it's Agus... Agus the Witch of hate had finally came true."
Thomas
said out loud but I heard him and shoot him a looked of confusion. He noticed
me.
"Witch of Hate?" I asked him.
"I thought you read about mountains." Thomas said to me.
"Uh... yeah." I said... then I remember something most shocking. "They named
a
mountain after her didn't they?"
"Yes, they did."
"Now I know what you're talking about." I said. "In the book had said
'One witch to rule them all. Then the mountain shall fall. Evil will be
greater and hard to defeat. But only the Irish girl was able to get the beat.
Magic and wonders to Hope is good to all. Nothing will fall. Go through a cave.
Hope you be brave. Danger meets the stranger. And stranger meets the danger.
Beware of what you choose through your desire. It can catch on fire.' I
guess that's it... but I still remember it well."
"Weird... 'One witch to rule them all. Then the mountain shall fall.'
Could that be a sign of defeat?" Thomas said.
"Silly young one." Delia said. "My father is the one that wrote that. You
have found one part of the riddle. But you still got to find the witch."
"Oh, I get it!" I said suddenly. "One witch is Agus and she lives not in the
real world but here! Only way to get here is by doing the same thing to the
second line. Fall off the cliff."
"You are smart." Thomas said amused.
"Yes. You are correct, Margraut." Delia said.
