Chapter one- Mount Ebbot
You were running up Mount Ebbot. Searching desperately for somewhere to escape the people running after you. You didn't care that they only wanted to console you because they cared. Your mother was dead. Your best friend, your only friend. You couldn't stand the pity that everyone was just handing out freely. The looks in their eyes when you walked by, the whispers when they thought you were out of earshot, "Oh that poor girl… to lose her only family left?" one whispered.
"May god help her through these troubled times." said another with pity in her voice.
At the funeral as they were lowering your mother's casket in the ground you looked up to see all the pity filled eyes on you. You couldn't take it anymore so you ran. Anywhere was better than here you thought to yourself. You didn't want to see that look in their eyes anymore. You wanted to forget about this day and everyone in it. When you came to Mount Ebbot you paused. Your town Shadyvale was less than a mile away. You always heard the horrible stories and rumors regarding the holy mountain but never really gave it much thought. You hesitated once more before you continued your fast paced run up the mountain. They'll know better than to follow me here, you thought. You continued your trek up the mountain until you came to a cave.
"Might as well go in. Its not like I have anyone waiting for me at home." you thought bitterly.
"You climbed over the fallen tree that was in your way before making it into the mouth of the cave. You continued your journey slowly as it was very dark and hard to see. You felt around for a wall to guide you but there were none. Strange, you thought to yourself. Suddenly you heard a loud booming voice call out you name.
"(Y/N)!" You jumped and fell backward tripping over a vine.
You squealed and braced yourself for impact but it didn't come as soon as expected. You felt a whoosh of air as you fell past what was supposed to be the floor and continued to fall. You gasped in pain when you finally made purchase with the ground. You looked up and noticed the hole above you that you hadn't noticed before. You started to feel pinpricks in your fingers and your toes were going numb. Not a good sign, you thought to yourself. Something was wrong with your back/spine. You started to get up, knowing you needed to find a way back, despite the pain creeping up your spine.
"Yep, definitely not good," you said to yourself. You eventually stood up and managed to walk a few steps before you heard a voice.
"Well howdy there! And who might you be?..."
