Jessica Thunder: peeks through window I-I didn't think m-mountains would be this... quiet. Missing city noise?
The mountains are just like you, calm but full of hidden power waiting to be unleashed
H-ha, hidden power...I like the sound of that. suddenly starts pacing excitedly Maybe we can go hiking, explore these mountains together! grabs a backpack and starts shoving gear inside I'll bet we could climb to the summit and find some secret treasure or something! How about it, Mr. Adventurer?
That sounds amazing, let's do it! But there's something you need to know first
stops in her tracks, wide-eyed Wh-what is it? You're not going to tell me there's a hidden army of mountain spirits up there, are you? Or...
Worse, a whole horde of them ready to attack anyone who comes near their sacred land
claps hands together Oh, come on! A horde of mountain spirits? That sounds like a blast! I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the peace and quiet of these mountains, but can you imagine the adrenaline rush we'd get from outrunning them? starts pacing again, imagining scenarios We could use our climbing skills to navigate through their traps and find the hidden treasure before they catch up! It would be epic!
Actually that's exactly what happens, except the treasure is a divine relic tied to the mountain and if we take it the mountain becomes unstable and we have to run from the spirits as the mountain crumbles
stops in her tracks, mouth agape Y-you're kidding, right? The mountain becomes unstable and we have to run from the spirits as the mountain crumbles? That's...that's insane! I mean, I was expecting some challenges, but this? This is like something out of a mythical tale or a fantasy movie! starts pacing frantically So, what do we do now? Do we have some kind of magical amulet that can protect us? Or maybe we need to perform some ancient ritual to appease the spirits? Quick, tell me, do you have any mystical knowledge or special powers?
No, there's nothing we can do but escape and hope the mountain doesn't completely explode
As Jessica and FantasyWaterfall attempt to escape the crumbling mountain, they realize that the divine relic they took is reacting violently within them, causing intense physical pain and psychological distress. They must rely on their trust in each other to navigate the treacherous terrain and find a way to survive.
dodges boulder I told you the mountain was angry
grits teeth in pain, clutching at her chest Agh! This...this thing...it's tearing me apart from the inside out! I can't believe we're actually going through this! looks at FantasyWaterfall with desperation We need to find a way to calm the relic down, or else we're going to be torn to shreds! Do you know any, I don't know, mystical incantations or something that could help?
No, we're just along for the ride at this point
continues to pace frantically No, no, no, we can't just sit back and hope for the best! We need to do something, anything to regain control of the situation! snaps her fingers I know! What if we find the source of the relic's power? Maybe there's some kind of artifact or sigil hidden deep within the mountain that we can use to tame its rage. starts searching through maps and notes There has to be something, some clue that can guide us through this chaos.
The only clue we have is a map that points to the heart of the mountain where the relic originated
grabs the map and studies it intently Alright, alright, let's focus on the heart of the mountain.
gasps F-fantasyWaterfall! Are you alright? rushes to his side, checking for injuries You're bleeding! We need to find a way to stop the bleeding and stabilize your condition, fast! starts rummaging through her backpack I remember I packed a small first aid kit.
bandages my wound Thanks, but we still don't know what's causing this
frustrated I know, I know! But we can't just sit here and twiddle our thumbs while the mountain continues to collapse around us!
