Rumble!
The sky was filled with dark clouds and flashes of lightning. The sound of rumbling sounded like a thousand giants stomping in a circle, preparing for a battle.
"What nasty weather."
Kiernan said as he looked out of the window towards the heavy downpour outside.
Makariah finished putting plates on the table and a pot of soup in the middle of the table.
"This rain won't calm down for another few weeks, at least. Anyway, let's eat, and once you've eaten, I'll take you to meet the boss of the convenience store!"
Kiernan nodded, got seated at the table, served himself some soup, and began sipping it slowly while listening to the rain smacking on the windows.
He then noticed that the lights weren't on. There were only candles flickering against the back walls.
"Why are there no lights? Is there a power outage?"
"We can only use candles here. For some reason, the monsters of the mist get really irritated when there's artificial light."
"Hmm, interesting…"
