Agnes Rock

Up the Mountain.

Later in the night, they all ate and merry. They sang and played. Though they did all of that with a heavy heart, they had to give him a good send off. After a while, everyone retired to their room. Agnes went inside and began to prepare. He took little clothings and a sword, then he lied down waiting for the day to break.

When the day break Mary, Anapheus, Achilles and Clement got up but couldn’t find Agnes. They checked his room but still no sign of him there. Mary found out his sword is missing and his bed is cold meaning he had gotten up quite long. Anapheus ran to the fields and even went to the forest but still he wasn’t found.

Then he got back to still see Mary checking everywhere. He went to her and hugged her. “He’s gone.” He muttered.

Agnes got up even before the day breaks. He kept turning and didn’t get a brink of sleep. After making sure he had taken all he needs. He put the sword in a sword sheath and hanged it around his waist. He also put some ropes and the few clothes in a leather bag and tied it from his left shoulder to under his right arm. He exited his room and walked out gently so he won’t disturb anybody.

Agnes went to the mountain and start climbing. It was very cold that Agnes almost shivered but he didn’t want to go back. He couldn’t risk it. He tied the rope around his waist and started climbing it. He had a knife in his hand that helped his aim at a soft spot among the rocks since the mountain has plants around some parts. Agnes made sure to climb it with caution, he didn’t want to repeat the first mistake he made when he tried the first time.

After holding unto a hard rock and his legs is balanced, he looked down and saw the whole village.

What a beautiful sight!

But he had to keep going. He climbed further, after a while he saw the mountain touching the sky.

‘Oh, shit.’ He thought. Just in time rain started falling. Agnes kept climbing until the cloud is just about a few inches to his hand.

‘After this. I’m sure there is land up there.’ He internally chirped happily but it was cut short when his legs slipped.

He loses his balance and his head was hanging below. The only thing keeping him from falling is the rope tied to his knife he had stabbed in the soft spot among the rocks.

Agnes looked at the knife and saw that it’s almost getting ripped away from the part of the rocks he had stabbed it into.

Agnes shifted slighted so his hands could touch a rock he could grab onto but failed. He shifted again but this time grabbed a small opening.

“Oops. That was damn close.” Agnes exclaimed. He steadied his balance and continued climbing. Few minutes after climbing touching the clouds, his extended hands touched a grassy land.

Agnes became excited. He quickly got up there but was surprised to see another mountain again.

‘Ohhh.’ He groaned.

He continued climbing, but unbeknownst to him he’s been climbing the mountain for days without resting. After a while of climbing he finally arrived at a grassy land. He looked to his left side and saw where the water is falling and in his front he saw a thick forest.

He rested for a little while before going into the forest. All the while he has the golden anklet with him looking at it. Being excited while doing so. He wandered too far he didn’t notice some movements before him.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!!

An arrow passed his head. He quickly found a cover and peeped to see who was shooting the arrows. He didn’t find any. He turned to his other side only to see fighting.

There are men in black and red cloth dressed as soldiers and the other opponents are dressed in all full black with their face covered.. He saw the people dressed in all black having the upper hand at the battle, Agnes stepped forward to help the soldiers but he stopped when one of the fighters in full black mask pulled off to reveal a beautiful lady.

She has a golden hair, with a smooth and light skin, her face is so beautiful carved that sent Agnes into a frenzy. Her eyes are blue having a fierce and fiery gaze, her red lips are so naturally thin and light.

‘If I can have my lips on hers, oh lord Poseidon.’ Agnes groaned internally. His eyes wandered to her waist and saw how slender she is. Her legs are so long and white. She has a beautiful silhouette.

‘Lord Poseidon I didn’t know there’s a beautiful person as this was created. Even her toes are..’

What!

Agnes eyes drifted to her toes. There was a golden anklet on one of her legs, having the same design as the one with Agnes.

‘She’s the reason I’m here.’ He chirped happily.
