At once, the boy heard a voice. It boomed loud in his ears as thunder, like the groan of the hills cracking beneath the weight of the moon. It was ancient and wise and it did not invite questioning.

"Pick up your spear."

He dared not disobey. The boy crawled on hands and knees to his fallen weapon. The soldiers thought he had risen from the dead; one of them was afraid, but the other charged forward and swung his sword at the boy. This time, when the boy swung his spear, it was light and fast in his hands like the sweetest steel—singing as it sliced the wind.

One, two, five men, then ten. None of them could stand against the boy and his godly spear. His neighbors heard the soldiers retreating and came out from hiding, only to see the weakest boy in the village fending off the honorless wolves of the local warlords. If this weak boy could find the strength, what excuse did they have to hide? They were ashamed. Everyone who could hold a weapon grabbed one and formed up a line at the boy's side. Once shunned, the boy now found himself at the center of an impenetrable, impossible wall.

That was how a boulder became a mountain.
