Tagged by @maggie-wolff-writes, thanks for dragging me back into the social side of tumblr! This is from the very aptly (but loosely) titled Questy McQuestface, the companion novel to Fire and Lightning, Ash and Stone (which is currently sitting at a 5-star rating!!). In this scene, our hero is approaching the first stop in his noble quest: The dwarven stronghold of Smith Haven.
“Rupert had seen the mountains surrounding Yonkarra, and the spiny peaks of the Crown where Aunt Liana had once lived. He had even glimpsed the Hinterlands and their famed ranges all the way from the deck of the passenger ferry as it rode the Stewpot’s gentle currents. He had thought that he understood them all.
But only now, with the mountain’s glory rising above him and the land between them spreading out, did he fully grasp the enormity of it. There were miles yet to go still, dotted with hairy fields and mole-sized villages and veinlike roads. And above it all, like a craggy nose, loomed the mountain that Smith Haven called home. Buildings had been carved into it as far around as he could see and nearly as high up, levels and arcades that bustled with movement and flowed down the sides of the mountain like moss down a tree.”
