"When the Mountain Shook" by Robert Abernathy is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story blends adventure and romance against a backdrop of ancient legends and futuristic terrors, focusing on a pair of young lovers navigating peril in hopes of overcoming familial feuds while awakening a long-dormant threat. The narrative follows Var and Neena as they flee from their respective clans, who are embroiled in a bitter feud. Pursued by Neena’s father Groz, they seek refuge in the mountains, where they encounter the Watcher, a centuries-old guardian who tells tales of the Ryzgas—an ancient tyrannical civilization believed to be sleeping within the mountain. As the couple seeks to evade their pursuers, they decide to awaken the powerful Ryzgas, hoping to harness their strength against their enemies. The tale culminates in a climactic confrontation within the mountain, where Var confronts a Ryzga and ultimately thwarts his plans, leading to a decisive moment that could change the dynamics of their feud forever.
