Oliver's Inferno

Anthos Mountain: Can The Clock Strike Something Else?

The streetlight turned on as the stars in the night sky shined brightly as if there were something above the the world. Oliver was heading to his favorite place to loiter and be alone with his thoughts as those around him become silent and asleep. While walking he had noticed the giant clock tower in the center of town had both arm pointing directly up. Oliver knew he shouldn't be out at this time but kept going as if there was nothing disturbing going on.

Oliver reached the park gate to only be greeted by the silence, darkness, and the cold wind of the night. He went through the gate and walked to the giant hill that oversaw all of the park and was always a place of reflection. He sat down and started thinking what he should do for this weeks break and how to plan in it. 

While in the middle of his thoughts Oliver saw a little shimmer near him and ignored it. However it didn't go away so he went to touch it and felt something solid and grabbed on to it. It wasn't soft but rocky when he grabbed to it but then the shimmering disappeared and there before his very eyes was something he would never imagine in his life. In front of his was a tall rocky hill that was probably the size of mount Everest and seemed to be to real to be fake. 

Oliver being the curious student he was put one foot on a ledge and started to scale up the giant rocky mountain. But he was unable to grab on to the next edge and fell off only 1 foot from the ground. He got up to try again but a bright shinning light blinded him for a couple of seconds before opening them to see a girl that looked the same age as here pop up.

"I'd never thought a mortal like you or any human to find this place in their life but as always I'm wrong" she said in a very casual voice.

Oliver was shocked at how not only a mountain can just appear out of no where but an actual human.

"Ummmm.... who are you and how did you even do that and also what is this mountain and why did this happen and.. and-"

"Calm yourself human I'm here to explain what happened and the mist that was covering the mountain and me" she said after interrupting Oliver. 

She continued after a short pause after giving him a water bottle, bread, and a watch. 

"My name is Angie, and I'm not human but just a soul that never had a body and who watches over the Anthos Mountains. I'm not a demon nor angel but just a soul who you will find to be useful but enough about me let me continue about the rest of what is the mountain and wait a minute, what time is it"?

"Its almost 1 o'clock in five minutes but please continue" he said in a quiet voice to her.

"Well I'll tell you tomorrow but be here at twelve sharp or you will miss my explanation either way goodnight umm" she said in a very confusing manor. 

"Oliver, my names Oliver".

"Well Oliver I'll see you tomorrow goodnight mortal" she said before turning into a shimmer of light along with the mountain and disappearing.

"Yeah see you tomorrow" he said before processing what just happened this past hour.
