Chapter 2: The Storm

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After creating my pony I decided to just go straight to bed. I wanted some time to rest and gather my thoughts.

I sat up with alarm. I had fallen asleep. "Damn it!" i said while getting out of bed. I got angry because I had intended to do that walk in the forest I had thought of. But as I had fallen asleep it was getting dark. 'Oh well, I may as well go while I still have some light' I thought to myself. While I was putting on my coat I was trying to remember if I had forgotten anything. No I don't think I have. I grabbed my keys and left the house.

When I entered the forest it got even darker because of the trees. As I walked through the forest the trees started to sway in the increasingly strong wind. "Why is it so windy?" I said out loud as if I was talking to someone else in the forest. The sky was darkening and I could feel slight drops of rain. I flipped my hood up and stared at the trees while I walked. The trees were always unnerving for me. They appeared to look back at me when I passed them. CRACK! A huge branch fell from the tree above me and I just barely dodged it. "What the-" I began but I stopped myself as I realized how windy it was. 'I guess I should turn back' I thought. I could see a bit of a clearing in the trees up ahead of me before I turned around. The clearing was shaped in a circle and it had what appeared to be a stone table. Strange. I had never noticed this clearing on any of my previous walks. Well I guess I am lazy and the only time I come here I only go half the distance I went today. Or tonight it would appear.

Curiosity got the best of me so I walked in to the center. When I got further in to the clearing I noticed the trees were swaying at an alarming rate. The rain was heavy and the wind forced me to get in to a stance so I wouldn't fall over... That was what I had forgot! The hurricane! I tried to turn back but before I could a tree fell in front of the path. BOOM! I looked up to hear what had created the thunderous noise. Thunder, obviously. Something was really strange about the clouds. There was lightning sparking from cloud to cloud. I stared in awe as everything around me crumbled. I watched for about a minute. But that was a minute too long. Eventually, the energy shooting in the sky all combined in to one cloud.

The cloud directly above the clearing.

I sprinted to cover under a thick tree and dived under it. I turned my attention to the sky. The energy seemed to build up in the one cloud with the energy. I swear I could feel it in the air. Suddenly one huge bolt of lightning shot in to the stone table I had seen before. "This is INSANE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, but even then I could just barely hear myself. Weirdly the lightning continued to spark it's wrath on to this one table. The bolt ranged two colors. White and red. It finally stopped with a wave of energy exploding from where the bolt had hit. I shielded my face with my arms. I eventually looked from my eyes and noticed something lying on the table. Something small. But before I could investigate, the tree I was under lost a branch, smashed my head and I was consumed by darkness...
