Alex's mind was in the battle for control with his emotions and instincts, as the very thought that they were keeping their heads higher than him, and they were breathing the same air as him, filled his mind with rage and made him want to go on a rampage and slaughter all the insignificant creatures surrounding him.
Alex was aware that these maddening thoughts did not belong to him, yet no matter how much he tried to empty his mind and try to calm himself down, they only grew louder.
Alex instinctively knew that the world was testing him to prove that he was worthy of wielding its laws that he should not at his strength, and if he failed this test, he would go on a rampage for thirty minutes, destroying everything he could lay his eyes on.
