Amos had traveled for quite some time, legs aching with newfound pain each time he took a step. He wasn't even that old. The male narrowed his eyes, upset with his own lack of stamina. In his defense, he had traversed the lands for a week just to find something new.
And that he did. A mountain loomed ahead, though it was unlike one he had ever seen. He was at just the right angle to see the two sides, completely opposite as if on purpose. One was charred and dotted with twisted trees, supposedly ravaged by a fire. Although new life sprang from here and there, the land appeared to be covered in a thick blanket of soot.
The other side was quite beautiful in contrast, though he wasn't a sucker for good views. It was everything he'd expect from a lush mountainside -- it was so different from the other side. Amos decided travel would be more enjoyable on the "more alive" side of the mountain, and began to make his ascent. He did not know what he would find, or even who he would find there, not letting those possibilities scare him away from exploring the new place.
