Awakened State

The atmosphere around me turned cold and heavy. A strong wind started blowing as I eased down all my body's muscles.

My eyes were faced to the front. My thoughts calm as the ocean before the wave. I was... At peace.

The atmosphere tensed down and the strong wind howling about abruptly stopped. Everything seemed normal and it was the calm before the storm!!!

Despite the peace that reigned, the four Arshbon were more worried and alarmed than they had ever been. And they have every right to be.

The wave had subsided, and calmness took over. But do not be mistaken to think it was over.

What was happening was the calm before the storm, and indeed the storm did come. Violently.

It blew about loudly as it rose the dried fallen leaves up their feet and along with that, it circled and covered my presence amid dust, sand and leaves.

Amidst the tumult, the storm maintained its distance, raging about in a set lane that covered only me.
