A couple of days later...
The lightning flashed and pushed its inverted limbs down to the battlefield. In three seconds, the loud boom of thunder struck the air. Light and docile raindrops soon turned heavy and violent.
Moments later, the rumbling thunder came, and right on cue, the rain began to fall even more haphazardly from the sky as if it wasn't entirely committed to rain.
"Damn! Just look at that explosion!" Miko, One of the soldiers stationed at the west wing of the Tartarus, said in awe, "I wish I would've been stationed near the north or east wing. The view from there would've been more exciting, don't you think?"
"Oh, just shut up and focus on the task we have been given, understand?" Noel retorted as he took another drag from his cigarette.
It was a wonder his cigarette wasn't going out in such terrible weather. Soon the raindrops began getting heavier and heavier as the clouds raged through the heavens.
