"So get this." Sam said as he was typing away on his laptop, "In old Irish mythology, humans and monsters used to live side-by-side. But war broke out between them and humans drove the monsters underground. This 'Mt. Ebott' is supposedly the entrance to that underworld."
Dean took a sip of his coffee and ate a bite of his apple pie, "So? What does that have to do with this case?"
"Well, legend has it that whoever climbs that mountain never comes back, and there have been seven disappearances where the person was last seen climbing the mountain. The last one was just yesterday; an odd-looking kid that lived around here, but no one seems to know the name of." Sam turned the laptop around to show him the news article.
After skimming through it, Dean turned it back around, "So we go and climb the mountain, save the kid, and maybe gank some monsters while we're at it?"
Sam shrugged, "Unless you have a better idea."
He thought for a moment and shook his head, "Nope, let's get going." He stood up and left a ten on the table to cover the coffee and pie. Sam packed up his laptop and followed.
3 hours later
The mountain wasn't the tallest thing in the world, so it didn't take that long for Sam and Dean to hike up the mountain. While they were wandering through the trees, though, Dean began to grow impatient.
"We haven't seen a single monster all this time… Sammy, are you sure your research was right on this one?
"Yeah, I did some fact-checking at the library before we left, remember?" He had his EMF scanner out, but it wasn't detecting anything, until… He angled it to the north a little ways, "Dean, over here." Sam approached a large gaping hole in the ground right in front of them.
Dean shone his flashlight down into it, but he couldn't see all the way to the bottom, "Do you think that's where everyone's been disappearing to?"
"Only one way to find out." Sam stayed back for a moment to prepare himself, then he ran and jumped into the hole. After all, they were the Winchesters, they've survived worse.
"Sammy, wait!" And Dean followed behind.
Author's Note:
And here's the prologue! I figured the best way to start off this story would be to explain how Dean and Sam found out about Mt. Ebott in the first place. I won't guarantee steady updates at all; I haven't wrote a fanfiction in years, so I'm mainly just doing this for fun. Also, it is important to note that some parts of the story will use the game's dialogue, but I am not entirely uncreative. The dialogue will be altered at points when Sam and Dean chip something in, and there may be some scenes added altogether to make this story a little more unique. I can't really tell you a lot yet, as it's a work in progress, but I hope you stick with me through this. If you do, I'll see you next chapter!
