The mountain was truly a big one. Hubris wasn't the one failing, his speed was too fast but the mountain was simply too great. As much as he covered more ground, Kiro felt like they were, at most, running in circles.
"Hubris, don't exhaust yourself, we don't know what we will run into next."
But that only fuelled his desire to get to where Kiro wanted to go. He didn't slow down, instead he picked up speed. Kiro shook his head at his unbelievable stubbornness.
They heard a deafening roar that stopped Hubris on his tracks. He looked around to see what it was, and one by one, the rocks started getting up.
They were well camouflaged. They had the same colour as the mountain they resided in, which was a great way to get unsuspecting travellers. Kiro and Hubris had already been surrounded by the time they noticed.
Ding!
