Thunder shook the heavens!
Countless iron hooves kicked up dust, and a murky wave rose outside the forest.
Flocks of birds and bats scattered in alarm from the woods, briefly shrouding the sky and casting endless shadows like dark clouds.
Just a few breaths.
The precious steeds left the dust behind as they leaped and galloped.
Onlookers felt the ground thrum beneath their feet as they watched the young hero bathe in moonlight, whip in hand, spurring his mount forward out of the rolling dust wave. It congealed into a undulating torrent of silvery brightness, before shattering against the blockade of ancient trees and dissipating into the dense forest.
The young hero with the hunting bow tied his shoelaces tight and ran furiously, his complexion flushed with excitement.
Full of youthful vitality!
At ease with the world!
"Fire the fireworks, let them fly!"
The steward waved his hand in prompt.
Whoosh.
Pop!
