Mistwraith Mountains Rebo

Mistwraith Mountains Reboot!

Summer is at its peak and the heat burns through the air, turning it dry and bitter. You lean back in your desk chair, too tired to continue doing schoolwork and too hot to do anything else. Suddenly, the fan beside you shutters and falls silent. You kick it once on the side, hoping it will spur it back into action. It doesn’t. You groan and throw an irritated glance at the window and the scorching sunlight pouring in from it.

And then you freeze. Because there’s a letter leaning on your window, as if it’s always been there. You stand and pick it up, turning it over. There is one simple word on the side of the envelope: Open.

You open it. The letter itself is a light blue color and the script is flowery and indigo. You scan the paper, reading:

Hello, CBer!

If you are reading this, then you have been invited to a free stay at Mistwraith Mountain! I, Rex Arcanum, will be your host for your stay. Bring supplies* for an adventure. All you have to do is simply fill out the form below, and transportation will arrive at exactly 4:00 pm on May 3. Food and other accommodations will be taken care of. I look forward to seeing all of you there!

Your host,

Rex Arcanum

*All popcorn making devices will be confiscated upon arrival

{The staff of Mistwraith Mountain will not be held accountable for any stolen and/or damaged property, minor injuries, untold danger, and almost unavoidable death}

You hesitate for a second before running and fetching a pen. It’s a free vacation, and the ‘Mistwraith Mountains’ sounds like the opposite of the blistering heat here. You fill out the form hastily and put down the pencil, content to wait until the adventure begins.

It’s back! Not sure if anyone remembers the original (only Jaybells and pangolin, probably), but I started this a while ago and almost finished it but never did, so I decided to bring it back! Most of the writing will be from before, with the exception of the later chapters. I will be accepting 20 participants in all, including AEs and CAPTCHAs, which you are of course welcome to bring. Since most of it is written and I just need to adjust it to the new participants, updates will be pretty regular (maybe twice a week?), and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Also, pretty sure you know who I am, but feel free to guess me anyway!

Day 1, Part 1:

The CBers arrived at precisely 4:30 pm, piling out of the bus and chattering excitedly to themselves. The ride over had been pretty uneventful, most of them anxious to get the driving over with and see the lodge. As they filed out from the bus, dragging their luggage behind them, many of them seemed surprised at the cool, sharp air of the mountain. Most of their shock at the cold quickly dissolved as they took in the area around them: the mountain curved and spiked into the atmosphere, blanketed with evergreen trees that stood in stark contrast to the white, cloud-laden sky. The feature that caught most of their eyes right away was the mist that wreathed the top of the mountain and hovered ominously over the tops of the trees. 

“Oh, wow,” Sterling breathed. “Creepy.”

Chaos, who was rather unfazed by it all, shrugged. “It’s called Mistwraith Mountain, guys. Of course, it’s going to be misty.” Tsuki swatted his arm for being impolite. 

“No kidding,” Darkling murmured. “It looks like we stepped into the set for a car commercial.” Gallium silently agreed.

Shining Star’s eyes were wide as she took in the view. “It’s so pretty.”

“I’m glad you think so,” a voice sounded from behind them. The CBers whirled around to face the Mistwraith Mountain Lodge, which they had missed while marveling at the nature of the mountain. The lodge was huge, made of dark, polished wood, with many windows and decks facing the landscape. The edge of the gardens could also be seen, which took up most of the area behind the lodge. A man, presumably the one that spoke a few seconds ago, was standing at the bottom of the steps leading to the front door. 

“Rex Arcanum?” Jaybells guessed, remembering the name from the letter. 

“Correct,” the man confirmed, stepping forward. “Call me Rex. I will be your host during your time at Mistwraith Mountain.” Rex looked to be in his thirties with short, choppy white hair; not the kind of white that comes with old age, but the kind of white that seems natural, like he was born with it. You know, that very common, normal kind of white hair. 

The next few minutes were spent letting the CBers know the basic rules of the lodge (no wandering off alone, always consult him before doing activities, etc, etc), much to the eternal unhappiness of the AEs. Rex also informed them that the only other people in the lodge beside themselves and Rex were the staff in charge of cleaning and cooking. 

“Now,” Rex announced, clasping his hands together, eyes gleaming. “Who would like a tour?” 

~~~

Usually the parts will be longer than this, but this is just the beginning :) Each day will be 2 parts long, the next one will be out soon! (sorry if you weren't mentioned yet, I promise i'll get to everyone!)
