terrified, and the sounds of small children crying could be heard in the vicinity while the parents tried to soothe the kids. Waiting in the protection and comfort of their homes, the villagers waited until the sounds of thunder finally stopped.
After the first lightning, every few seconds another one would strike constantly as the sound of it crackling echoed in the surroundings.
In his small hut, Calron kept uncomfortably turning around in his mat, as his clothes stuck to him under the sweat. Calron did not know what was happening to his body.
He thought it was his awakening, but an awakening was not supposed to hurt and he still had a few more months of time until his eighth birthday.
It felt like his blood was boiling and his muscles twitched every now and then. What Calron did not feel through all the pain, was that the once warm locket on his chest was now scorching hot and stuck to his skin, further increasing the torment he felt.
Calron silently screamed as he felt the angry heat surging through his body, but the agony had no intention of going away.
The sounds of thunder stopped for a brief moment, but if anyone had dared to look towards the sky, then they would have seen the most terrifying scene of their lives.
In the middle of the clouds, a pale azure light slowly started to glow, as small bursts of blue lightning crackled around it.
The world seemed to turn deaf.
Even though the rain kept falling, there was no sound from it.
It was as if time itself had frozen in space.
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
*CRACK*
A single bolt of deep azure lightning came crashing towards the ground, as it carried the power and might of the heavens.
And if anyone had dared to look outside, then they would have seen that the place where the blue lighting struck was exactly above Calron’s small hut!
…………………………….
The pain never seemed to end.
Calron felt like his blood would burst out from his veins, and with tears pouring from his small face, he kept silently begging for the torment to end.
Just then, he felt something strike his body with the force of a small building.
The pain abruptly stopped.
Although Calron felt the force of something strike him, mysteriously, there was absolutely no trace of pain anywhere. Feeling around for where that mysterious force might have struck him, Calron swept his hands over his body and felt the bird-shaped locket on his chest.
Rather than a locket, the metal was now firmly lodged into the middle of his chest, as the chain around it had long ago melted under the intense heat.
Calron tried to remove the bird-shaped locket from his chest but it would not even slightly budge. Intriguingly, there was no pain from it. Calron looked closely at the locket in wonder and saw that it was no longer rusty and it seemed to emit a pale azure light.
The bird appeared to be almost alive, but Calron figured it was just his mind playing tricks on him. He further noticed that the locket was in the same exact place as where his core would have been after he awakened to an element. Did he already awaken?
He hesitantly touched the locket. It was just a whisper of a touch but just at that moment, a bright azure blue flashed inside the hut and Calron felt an intense amount of essence emitting from the locket. His blood boiled again, but this time the azure blue essence from the locket seeped into his blood and Calron felt a shock of lightning running through his body!
If someone had seen Calron at this moment, then they would have seen a boy with bright blue lightning surging and crackling around him.
He felt power.
Raw, unfiltered power coursed through his veins.
However, suddenly, he heard a voice. It was a soothing sound as if a whisper travelling through a cool breeze.
“So, you’re the scion of his house, huh”
Calron abruptly looked around, but could see no one.
