Forbidden Mountain - Part 1

"Wait, Alxx! Where are you going?"

"Shhhh. Keep your voice down, Mykk. Someone might look this way and I want to get out of the market square without anyone seeing me."

"Where are you going? Why don't you take a transporter? How far are you planning to walk?"

"Be quiet! I can't take a transporter, someone will see me. I'm trying to be discreet about this so nobody will see where I'm going."

"Well, where are you going?"

Sighing, Alxx looked at his friend and said, "I hope you can keep a secret. Especially from the Assembly. I'm going up to Forbidden Mountain."

"You can't! It's strictly forbidden! You are not allowed to go there, you know that and I know that, so why are you so anxious to go?"

"I saw some odd-looking lights up there a few moons ago, lights that weren't there before. They were moving in a strange up and down fashion. Like this, see? It just made me curious and I thought I'd go up there during sun time and see if I could see something."

"See what? You should report it to the Assembly. They have lots of Law Regulators who can deal with a mystery like this. Try to be sensible about it. What would your mother say if she knew you were going against the Assembly decree - especially since she is Assembly Leader?"
