The 4th Mountain

'The Houndbear Berry,' Alex thought as he looked at the fruit that hung on the 3rd branch from the left of the tree. 

All the other fruits in this tree didn't seem mature to him at all. He wondered how that fruit remained up there.

However, it didn't take him long to realize that he could only see and sense the fruit because of his talents. With his eyes, that fruit was nowhere to be seen.

'Was it forgotten here and left to grow as big as it could?' Alex wondered.

The girl that was taking care of the other one noticed the two of them coming and let the man know. The man who was fighting to keep them both safe only had more and more stress on him.

At some point, he was going to make a mistake, and all three of them were going to die. If he tried to fight the newcomer and the beast by himself, that was going to be one of the mistakes.

So, he chose not to make it.
