*Puff*
[ A shady figure landed face first in the Pontonac river and something resembling a pole just fell after him ]
" My survival instincts have degraded "
Seriously Oceanus , even a cat knows how to reduce fall impact . Crawling my way out of the River , I kept coughing out water in droves . My lungs are burning and I look like a wet dog , at least I am still alive .
Taking off the outer robe I laid flat on my back , a dark sky full of glistening stars was enough for me to determine that I was on a planet called earth , in the Vega system . Sometimes an owl would welcome my arrival but even it seemed repressed .
" Can't stop now , gotta get to a clearing "
Although my whole body is hurting , I can't rest yet . The forge is still pumping an outrageous amount of energy into me , if it keeps going like this and I know it will then I will be undergoing Trial by thunder any minute now .
Any organism that breaks the limit of his evolution , has the world he is in test his metal by 9 lightning strikes , if the person survives the whole world will bless him , you don't need me to tell what happens otherwise do you ?
Of course I will live through the trial remember I used to be a Titan , I am instead worried about all the fishes and animals that will die unjustly .
Scanning the surroundings all I could see were tall redwood trees lining up along the river like the royal guards protecting their Queen and a few mountains dotting the horizon .
Without a second thought I picked up the red button of misfortune and ran towards a barren mountain which seemed very fishy in this woodland but I didn't have a choice right now .
Blazing through the trees I kept a steady speed of 170 km/h any faster and I would be headbutting a tree .
At the mountains base I let go of all restraints and hit the ground with utmost violence sending me flying toward the very top .
" What the .... "
I may have heard somebody or it was just a hallucination anyway I got to the top which is surprisingly flat for a mountain .
Stabbing the ready made lightning rod I have been carrying all this time into the ground I couldn't keep it together anymore so I fell asleep right there clinging to the red button's pole .
While Oceanus was out cold the clouds became restless , they kept darkening and releasing small golden arcs of electricity .
These clouds were not natural , they kept piling over each other just above Oceanus's head and the sporadic arcs became more and more foretelling an oncoming catastrophe .
The first lightning strike was pure golden , illuminating the entire skyline in a holy glow it looked so inviting yet so lethal at the same time .
Every animal in the vicinity cowered as the lightning tore through the roof of Blackstone castle and kept going on .
After the first strike was the second and the third till the ninth within half an hour of one strike another would fall decimating Blackstone castle to the ground leaving only a few dozen people with ashen faces as they watched their home crumble before gods wrath .
The initiator of this tragedy was still sleeping peacefully beneath the rubble .
