He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still he climbed. ''I'm prepared for this'' he told himself and he was. He trained for 2 years to exact. He climbed every mountain he could to prepare for this trip. He was 12 years old when he heard about this place. He was researching some homework when he came upon this little mountain. 15 people a year have to tried to climb this mountain and come back down alive none have succeed. He was fascinated by this place. He told himself he would be the first to make it back alive from that place and know at 23 years old he finds himself standing right in front of this very mountain. He took a deep breath and climbed. He was doing all he could to not think of how high above the ground he was well in this case water. He thought about how proud his father would be of him. When he first discovered this place him and his father made plans to climb it together but when he turned 18 hes father was diagnosed with cancer. So at the moment his father was to sick to even think of climbing a mountain let alone walk. He drifted off thinking of many other things. Before he new it he was at the top of the mountain. He looked around but all he saw was a tree in the center of the land. By the tree stood a woman. He couldnt believe it but the women was glowing she stood at the center of the land shining. He then realized she was the light of the land. She was the only sign of light and life in this place. She looked sad. She looked right at him and he could tell by the look of her eyes she was not happy to see him there. He stood frozen in his spot his legs were moving. He couldnt control them. The woman had taken over his body finally he had reached the edge of the cliff. He looked at the woman one last time with pleading eyes begging her not to do this. Without hesitation he fell. Hes last thought was that the woman was the sun of the land and she was guarding somthing. He didnt know what and never well. Just like the rest he wont be coming back alive.
