The mountain can be seen for miles around, rising up from the forest of the flat land around it. It has been used as a landmark since humans have stood on two feet and will be there long after our extinction.
The mountain hadn’t been formed from the Earth, you see, the Earth had formed around the mountain. It was no mountain at all, but a chrysalis and the Earth its final membrane. Everything that happens upon our celestial body, beyond its pupa maturing, is inconsequential. Most of us try to ignore this.
Some sense this and are driven mad trying to prove what they know to be true. Others who intuit the beast within, worship at the foot of the mountain, dancing naked at midnight, offering fiery rites and sacrifices to appease what might emerge.
Whatever grows within the mountain? It cares not.
