A/N: Okay, so I came up with some pretty interesting prompts when this story was still in the planning stages. One of them was Mountains. Mountains was always one of those that I found myself staring at and thinking 'when the hell am I ever going to use that, and will it be any good?' Well, I finally got around to using it tonight, and I'm still skeptical about whether or not it's any good. I'll let y'all be the judge of that. Enjoy!

Prompt: Mountains (Nature Boy)
104. Mountains
He had absolutely fascinating eyes, the young man Caradoc had met on a lonely road to nowhere. A piercing shade of blue, and deep enough to reach a person's soul if you let them.
Caradoc had tried to question him. Why was he on the road to Mount Killaraus alone? Why was he dressed in the clothes of Camelot some hundred miles from the city?
The man had almost smirked at the inquisition. "You wouldn't understand."
"Try me." Caradoc was rather fond of confrontation.
"It's a long story involving a prat, a prophecy, and time-travel spells. Interested?"
Caradoc grinned. "Immensely."
Oh, and for those wondering, Caradoc actually is a character from the legends. He was originally a knight of Uther's, then turned against Arthur when he ascended the throne, changed his mind, and wound up being one of Arthur's most trusted knights. In this case, I'm picturing him as a bit like Tristan was on the show.
Cheers!
