To Gabriella, the gods have always been an unreachable wonder. They're present in everyone's lives. They protect the people, guide them, even bless them with magical abilities in some cases, turning them into legendary heroes. But they're still so far away from mortal sight, residing on the top of the tallest mountain, its peak hidden among the clouds. A simple meeting with them would answer so many questions people have about them.

So, Gabby decides to brave the mountain and reach them.

She'll only find one.
