Mt. Shiveer's Legend

You know about the legend, that if you break the ice at Mt. Shiveer, you get a spike, or whatever you heard. This legend was made up by some kids, trying to get some attention. Not something new. There have been countless videos made on Coral Canyons, Mt. Shiveer... all of those legends. They are 99% fake. They are the most used topic for clickbait and lies. But, do you know, that in the early days of Animal Jam, in the beta testing period, that there was a way to actually break the ice?

Let me start.

Back in the old days, of early 2010, the first beta testers logged onto their accounts. The game was glitchy, which is normal, cause that was the most early version of Animal Jam you could find. Instead of using Flash, Animal Jam was originally made in a Flash game-making program, before it was released on the web on ran on the Flash player. So, the files would be transferred by USB, so nobody could spread the file, since Animal Jam was a huge thing that Clark Stacey didn't want anyone but his workers to know about.

The first people who logged on were Clark's most favourite employees. They marked down what things should be fixed, etc., then they decided to have some fun. There was a rumour, that if you jumped on the Coral Canyon's bridge, or on the Mt. Shiveer ice, you'd get a prize. They decided to test it out, so they could spread it after the official release of Animal Jam. A portion of the employees gathered around the bridge, while the others went onto the Mt. Shiveer ice, and started jumping. They we're hyped when they saw that the bridge and the ice started breaking.

Then, it happened.

The employee's that gathered around the Mt. Shiveer ice heard a loud cracking of supposedly glass, as they saw the ice crumble beneath their animals' paws. Their avatars screamed and whimpered as they held onto the ice for dear life, as it started breaking. Then, it broke. They slid down into the water, their avatars wailing in pain as their body freezed up. The animals tried to get out, but they'd just inhale some water, since under the ice, the water wasn't shallow, it went down deep. Some animals that were shoved down into the water by the limbs of others trying to get out started choking on the water, trying to breathe and get out. The employees couldn't do anything but stare at their screen at their dying avatars.

The other employees which gathered on the Coral Canyons bridge, suddenly also heard a ear-piercing noise as the bridge split into huge pieces of rock. Their animals quickly started falling down, flailing their limbs around trying to get back onto the broken bridge, but to no avail, they kept falling down.

Then, they heard a slicing sound.

When they looked at the screen, their avatars were bloodied up, their carcasses sliced in half by the giant falling rocks. Their organs were splattered all over the place, with some splotches of dried blood on the giant rocks.

After the beta testing, they never spoke of anything again. They didn't mention it, reference it, nothing.

That day, some of Clark's workers saw his dark side.

The side he was hiding all along.
