Mount Ebbot: Everyone always told me it was a cursed mountain. Rightly so too. It's always spewing out smoke and ash. Thankfully the wind blows the gray clouds away from the city most days. Even so, it's mandatory that everyone keeps a gasmask on their person at all times. The wind can change at any second.

Researchers say that they can't figure out where exactly the mountain's emissions are coming from. Everyone has their own thoughts. Some say that it's just a volcano that's really deep in the surface of the earth, others think it's a portal to hell. I think that these rumors were what initially tempted me to climb the mountain.

I still remember the day that I gathered the determination to leave home and go adventuring. My parents were both late coming home from work. I gathered the items needed for my expedition: my gasmask, a bottle of water, a camera, my phone, a small first-aid kit, a couple of filters for the mask, all of which I put in a small backpack. I left a note on my room's door that read, "Out for a hike. Be home later. Love you - Frisk."
