  INTRO

  There was a mountain, at the entrance there was an inscription ?Teirbtwiac“, which meant: "The earth is round but the world is a circle". The mountain works in the way when you enter it, it gives you power or a curse (two different kinds of mountain), and when it gives you power it also gives you a condition or more that you have to follow to keep those powers. One mountain has a light spirit inside, which creates a power born from a light inside of you, and another has a dark spirit inside, that creates a curse born from your darkness…

  The first man who entered that mountain never left it...

  After him, many people continued to search for that mountain, but it always appeared in another place, and when someone would enter it, and came out of it, the mountain would disappear, and that person would get something from the mountain, but only under a condition.

  Main characters: Rhodri (Nexara), Nigel, Acacia, Kaya, twins: Nuri and Rin.

  1. Chapter - Challenge

  Very long time ago…

  A man walked in the forest, he was in his fifties, white hair, and a bit of beard, tall, not fat, not skinny. He was searching for something, he had a map. He looked like he knew where he was going. He walked more. Then after some time he stopped and looked in front of him. He smiled.

  Man: I knew it... I knew it you were real.

  In front of him was a mountain, with description: ?The earth is round but the world is the circle“

  He walked inside, and he disappeared inside, the mountain started to disappear too.

  Few years later...

  A girl named Rhodri (Rho - shorter), in disguise, walks the streets and follows one of the 3 generals (Eligor) .At the same moment, another girl named Kaya tries to steal gold from the wealthy. Nigel is in prison, and is looking for a way to escape. Twins Rin and Nuri were walking near the beach. The sixth person watched all the others in secret.

  Rho, hiding from the general and trying to follow his every step, started running at one point. At that moment, Kaya was running away from several police officers, who were chasing her for theft.

  Kaya: Shit Shit Shit Shit. She spoke while running.

  She saw Rho on the opposite side, but she didn't know her then. Both of them passed each other and they felt their hearts beating faster and it was as if the world stopped for a moment. They looked at each other but continued to run and went in opposite directions.

  Rho stopped and knew she had to follow her, no matter how much she wanted to hunt someone else. She turned and followed Kaya. After some time, she found her and saw the policemen taking her somewhere. She stayed hidden.

  Kaya: oh come on... Is this really necessary?

  Policeman putting cuffs on her.

  Kaya: oh come on Jerry, I thought we were passed this...

  Policeman: my name is not Jerry.

  Kaya: well it should be, you really look like Jerry...

  Other policeman looked at him.

  Other policeman: you know she kind of has a point...

  ?Jerry“ looked at him coldly.

  ?Jerry“: come on, let's go.

  They were taking her away.

  Rho watched, she followed them for a bit, then...

  She started to climb on one of the roofs. At that moment, Nigel was in chains, outside, waiting to be executed. Kaya soon joined him. They were tied, side by side. At first there was silence.

  Kaya: And... What brought you here? She said very calmly.

  Nigel looked at her, a cold look.

  Nigel: I would like to die in silence. Then he turned his head.

  Kaya: Why so much depression? Surely your life is not that bad? She was relaxed,

  Nigel: Are you kidding me?

  He highlights the obvious situation in which they are.

  Nigel: And after all, how can you be so relaxed for a person who is going to die soon?

  She laughs.

  Kaya: This isn't the first time I've been here, after all, if anyone is too relaxed to die, it's you.

  Nigel: And how do you plan to get out?

  Kaya: Simply.

  She tries to use her powers but fails.

  Kaya: What the...

  Nigel: oh I see, you are one of them... you see these chains are not ordinary, they prevent you from using your powers.

  Kaya slowly began to worry, but still remains positive.

  Kaya: so you tried too?

  Nigel: no, I have never set foot in that mountain.

  Kaya: Really and how did you understand this about chains?

  Nigel: I'm just paying attention.

  They argued briefly.

  Kaya: it's okay, we'll get out somehow, and I always get away with it.

  Nigel: what is your plan?

  Kaya: well, nothing at the moment, I'll relax a bit and wait. She relaxes and closes her eyes.

  Nigel; you are crazy...

  At that moment Rho was standing on the roof of the building watching them. She had a chance to follow the general, she had waited so long for this moment, but she had to choose them.

  Rho: I hope I don't regret this. Transformation of 3: arrows. She stood on the roof, shot an arrow into their chains. They were amazed and watched what was happening, he looked up and saw Rho. Both his and Kaya's heart began to beat faster and the feeling of the moment stopped. They all felt a strange feeling as if they had known each other all their lives, but the brain did not remember.

  She broke the chains with her power and they were free. She looked at them for a bit, giving them a cold stare, and disappeared from the roof.

  Nigel still looked towards the roof.

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Kaya: let's go!

  They ran away. Rho was trying to catch up with the general. Kaya and Nigel followed her. A sixth person followed them all in the shadows.

  At that moment the twins were walking in the forest and talking.

  Rin: How do you want to die?

  Rin freaked out after Nuri told him what trouble he got himself into.

  Rin: Do you realize that we have to escape the Island AGAIN!?

  Nuri: I know I made a mistake, but it wasn't my intention...

  Rin: ENOUGH.

  Nuri: can you at least listen to me...

  Rin: I've said enough! He sighed. When will you grow up? Those words really hurt Nuri because all his life he has been trying to show Rin that he is no longer a child.

  Nuri: I will grow up when you let me grow up. He said quietly

  Rin looked at him in surprise and a little sad.

  Rho hunted the general, and almost got caught if Kaya and Nigel haven’t stopped her.

  Nigel pulled her from the street and pushed her against the wall.

  Kaya: girl are you crazy! Do you have any idea what will happen if they catch you!?

  Rho: you have to let me go, now! Nigel and Kaya were holding her back.

  Nigel: we can't do that, so just calm down!

  Rho looked at them angry.

  Rho: no.

  She said cold, and she hit him in stomach. Kaya used her powers to make her stay still (her powers are black tattoos on her body, she can manage them as she wants, she can separate them from her body, and use as... animal can use their tentacles...) she struggled a bit and Nigel held his stomach.

  Nigel: you are lucky you saved our asses...

  She looked at them angrily but calmed down.

  Kaya: we'll introduce each other later, now we have to run.

  Rho sighted, she was still mad but she nodded. Kaya relished her They ran away. As they ran away, Rho felt the presence of another person, and she followed that feeling.

  Kaya: where are you going?

  Rho didn't answer, she just kept running. All three went in the same direction. They appeared outside the forest. And saw the twins. Everyone watched each other, everyone felt the same.

  Rin looks at Nuri, Nuri looks confused.

  Rin: are these more of your friends?

  He said sarcastic.

  Nuri: I swear I never saw them in my life.

  Everyone was in silence, watching each other. Acacia rejoiced from the shadow. Eyes were on her now.

  Rin's eyes softened a bit when he saw her, he felt like he knew her forever. She looked at them, unfazed, unbothered, and calm.

  Acacia: we have to talk.

  She looked at Rho, cold

  Suddenly, everyone felt the same feeling, their heart was pounding, chest burning, the feeling... they felt connection, they felt all the same.

  Everyone looked at each other, finally realizing what was happening.

  Rho: It looks like we all have to talk.

  Acacia and Nigel didn't realize what was happening, they looked confused.

  Acacia: well someone is explaining this... but let's go somewhere quieter.

  They followed her. They disappeared

  She took them to a quieter place.

  Nuri: Where are we?

  Acacia: that doesn't matter, what matters is who the hell are you people and what are you doing here?

  Nuri: Well, you brought us here... he said quietly. And she looked at him coldly.

  Rin: you know that's not what she meant.

  Kaya: it looks like we are s....

  Rho: Screwed?

  Kaya: I wanted to say stuck... but sure, that works too.

  Nigel: great, I really needed this.

  Rho: no one is too happy about this okay?

  Ace: I have so many questions right now...

  A discussion has begun.

  Kaya: Wow wow, why don't we all calm down for a second?

  Nuri: I agree, why don't we sit down and get to know each other a little better?

  Rho: fine, but we'll start with TEIRBTWIAC!

  Everyone sits around the fire in silence. No one spoke so Kaya decided to break the silence.

  Kaya: Okay, I'll start. I'm Kaya, and what you need to know about me is that I'm a criminal, but don't worry, I never steal from people I know....

  Nuri laughs then stops: but wait, you don't even know us?

  Kaya: exactly. I grew up on the street, where the first rule is ?don't trust anyone“. But despite that, I also had people I love. I had a grandfather who raised me, and I have never met a person who had more justice than him... When he died, that justice died too. I finally found a mountain to be stronger and actually fight for some justice. After I got my powers, I also got a condition under which I have to maintain them. The condition is to find you guys, and spend at least a year with you all, otherwise I lose my powers. I was honestly happy that it was my only condition because I heard stories where people get such conditions in which they can lose both their own and other people's lives. And I'm only losing my powers.

  Rho and Nigel looked at each other.

  Nuri: Wow... well, my name is Nuri and after your story, I'm ashamed to tell mine....

  Rin: don't be like that, brag about your reason for entering one of the most dangerous places, where you don't even know if you'll come out alive....

  Nuri: I lost the bet.....

  WHAT?

  Rin: my name is Rin and I was a fool who followed this fool, and that's how I entered that mountain...

  Kaya was dying of laughter. What was the bet about? (Nuri will not tell the real version or the real reason for entering that mountain, it will be revealed later)

  Nuri: I don't think it's worth talking about...

  Rin: the bet was with a ten-year-old.

  Nuri: that kid really pissed me off...

  Kaya was laughing. Now I want to hear even more.

  Nuri: How about this, I will tell you the rest when I got really drunk. Sounds good?

  Kaya: deal.

  Rin: And what about you Mystery. Rin looked at Acacia.

  Acacia: Let's see... My name is Acacia, but everyone calls me Ace and there are a few things you all should know. First, never try to take a drink from my hand unless you want to lose it, I am not a hugger so don't try that either and my only weapons are my katanas, I did not enter the mountain.

  Rin: how is that possible? Then how did you find us? Because I and Nuri had the same condition as Kaya, and that feeling we had as if we all knew each other is the feeling of that mountain, so how did you find us?

  Acacia: Calm down Ren.

  Rin: It's Rin.

  Ace: whatever, to be honest, I followed her, She points to Rho, because she was following someone who wasn't her target.

  Rho looked at her.

  Rho: What are you talking about?

  Ace: you know what I'm talking about, friendly advice, that man is mine to kill.

  Everyone is surprised except for Rho and Ace

  Rho: Okay, he's yours, I'm definitely after a bit bigger fish.

  Ace: you don't mean...

  Nuri: what are they talking about?

  Nigel: 3 generals...

  Kaya: sister... you don't really mean to kill someone? She looked at Ace

  Ace looked at her, his expression cold, trying to speak in her language,

  Ace: sister, yes. And don't even think of stopping me. Even better thing is that you all have to stand by each other so you don't lose your powers, but I don't have to stand by you, I have nothing to lose.

  Nigel: I have to say that I agree with her, I didn't even enter that mountain, because once upon a time that mountain took away the dearest thing that I had in my life. I despise all of you who entered

  Kaya: but you have to stay, you don't understand...

  Ace: What?

  Rho: just because you didn't get into that mountain that doesn't mean you don't belong in the group of people we have to spend time with... and we don't know what will happen if we're separated.

  Nuri: that's right, we could all lose our powers! Rho could lose way more but she stayed silent.

  Why should we care about your powers?

  They both said in unison. (Ace and Nigel)

  Rho stood in front of them, dead serious.

  Rho: Since I have a lot more to lose, I can't let you go… she took a stance as if she was ready to fight.

  Ace was ready to fight but Nigel stopped her.

  Nigel: you don't want to have someone's death on your hands... especially if they didn't deserve it. He said quietly.

  Ace: fine, I'm staying.

  Rho waits for confirmation from Nigel, he nods.

  Rho: good.

  Ace: But first, I want to hear your story... she looks at Rho.

  Her story wasn't pretty, and she didn't plan to tell it, at least not all of it.

  Rho: fair enough. My name is Rhodri, but you can call me Rho, all you need to know is that I have the same condition as you. She decided to keep quiet about the part with another condition.

  Rho: My goal is to kill Davon, and that's all I want and that's all you need to know.

  Everyone was looking at her.

  Ace: why?

  Rho: let's just say I owe him that. Ace understood the desire for revenge and could see it in her eyes, so she just nodded.

  Ace: and what is your story? Looks at Nigel

  Nigel: my name is Nigel, and that is all you will know.

  Ace: Fine, I have another question for you, what are your powers? She had to know how strong they were.

  Nuri: fire

  Rin: ice

  Kaya: shows how she manages the tattoos on her body as if they were arms.

  Nigel: I fight without them.

  Rho: I own 3 transformations. One is arrows, the other is pistols, and the third is sword. I can't harm people with them, but I can use them to control things.

  Nuri: I'm confused...

  Rho shows what it looks like. She transforms and hits a stone with a bullet and moves that stone with her mind.

  Rho: it can also be used for healing, besides swords, they can do much more.

  Nuri: wow, that is so cool...

  Kaya: I don't want to rush such wonderful moments but I have a question... do any of you own a ship? Because we'll have to leave soon...

  Nuri: why would we have to..?

  Kaya: we'll call it intuition (she knew because she was wanted.)

  Everyone - no, we don't have a boat.

  Kaya: then you're in luck, because I have a perfect one.

  She led them to the ship.

  Nuri: why did you ask us if we had a ship when you had one?

  Rho: I hope it wasn't stolen.

  Kaya: no, of course not, we just have to return it somewhere, that's all...

  Rin: what?

  Shots were heard.

  Kaya: it's time to go!

  Rin: get on the ship, we'll hold them back. He turns to Nuri and they were holding back officers that were chasing Nigel and Kaya. They managed to hold them back for a bit and they escaped.

  They climbed aboard and managed to escape. Kaya steered the ship and talked to Nuri

  Rho approached Ace: May I ask you, why are you hunting Eligor?

  Ace took a breath: Because he deserved it. Stillness. He killed my whole clan, everyone I loved, and he, who was our master. He also taught me how to fight, but I taught myself how to win, therefore, he is mine. Serious

  Rho: I understand you, and I won't try to stop you.

  Ace: I respect that, I don't plan to stop you either:

  Rin just watched them and listened.

  Rho leaned against the rail of the ship and remembered the moment she entered the mountain. She remembered one more condition.

  Spirit: You must not take a human life. If you do that, not only will your power be taken away, but also your life and the life of people you love.

  Rho: I don't have anyone I love, but I never know will I meet such people, so please, if I break the second condition, please just take my life.

  Spirit: too easy, instead, I will create a personal hell just for you, from which you will never be able to escape.
