Once upon a time, two species shared the world. Humans, and whimsical, magic beings. The two lived in harmony until slowly, tensions rose between the two species. Soon, a war brew between them. The magic beings did have much more magic power than the humans but were much frailer physically, and soon enough, humanity won the harsh, long war.
When the magic beings miserably begged for mercy, humanity decided to gather seven of its best mages. They backed the magic beings, down, deep inside the caves of a mountain, and they chanted a spell that created a barrier around the mountain. No one could leave, but anyone could come in.
This mountain, located in Ashland, Oregon, and called Mt. Falls, became a place shrouded in mystery. Legends and tales from the books that recorded it and the people that knew it always said; "Never go there. No one that falls in, can ever return." But it wasn't like it stopped some brave souls from going down there.
The latest case is Coraline Jones.
She used to live in Pontiac, Michigan, before moving to the Pink Palaces of Ashland. With no one to play with, barely anything to keep herself entertained, and her parents too busy with their gardening catalog to catch their attention, she decided to explore. Then, her strangely eccentric neighbors told her about the dreaded Mt. Falls. With her curiosity and boredom at its peak, she decided to climb there with her raincoat, boots, and a stick, to see if the tale was real.
Perhaps she could never expect a wacky adventure down there.
