Abandoned On The Haunted Mountain

By the time Gregor reached the haunted mountain, the sun had long set beyond the horizon, causing the already gloomy forest to look even more menacing.

At the base of the mountain where not a single living thing could be found, it could be seen that the large ominous trees were bare, and there were no visible trails to follow as everything was covered in thick fog. The further one walked, the less the eye could see. It was due to this phenomenon that caused even the villagers nearby to fear the dead forest as even a veteran hunter could get lost if they were to stray off the known paths.

Gregor was led by the King's knights, the men carrying torches to be able to see through the foggy darkness. It seemed as if there was something lurking among the shadows. Even as a man, he could not help but feel the fear of the unknown. 

As they walked in hollow silence on the uneven rocky ground, only the sound of the baby's crying could be heard.
