Hello Apostrophites!

This is my seventeenth attempt to participate in the awesome "99 Word Story" contest hosted by @Apostrophe POD ~

Using Merriam Webster's Word of the Day "Delectation" for December 15.

And my story is called "Delectation".

Clara has had one cherished dream since childhood. She wanted to climb on the very mythical and dangerous mountain about which listened many various legends and myths. And here she is in Greece and is approaching the famous Olympus. It is said that here once lived 12 greek gods.

This place became their abode. Mount Olympus-is located in the North-East of the historical region of Thessaly, and the height of this mountain range is almost 3 kilometers. When you are at the very top of this mountain, the feeling of delectation does not leave you for very long time.

Text in Russian: "Наслаждение".

У Kлары ещё с детства была одна заветная мечта. Она хотела взобраться на ту самую мифическую и опасную гору о которой слышала множество различных легенд и мифов. И вот она в Греции и уже подъезжает к знаменитому Олимпу. Рассказывают, что именно здесь когда-то жили 12 греческих богов. Это место стало их обителью.

Гора Олимп находится на северо-востоке исторического региона Фессалии, а высота этого горного массива составляет почти 3 километра. Когда ты находишься на самом верху этой горы, то чувство наслаждения не покидает тебя очень долгое время.
