An Extra’s POV

~BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

The earth beneath the students rumbled as a flash of lightning descended from the darkened clouds.

It was so far away—perhaps a couple thousand meters or so—yet the impact of the strike caused a violent quake where they stood.

Everything happened instantly too, causing every student to get startled.

"A-ahh…!"

"What was that?!"

"A dark cloud? A lightning strike? The Capital?"

Many students were already on the ground, having been knocked over by the tremors and their intense surprise once they heard the noise.

Still, they couldn't help but gaze in the direction where the lightning struck.

Then, before they could process their thoughts, or answer their questions—

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

—Another blast of the same lightning struck once more.

The ground did not respond to kindly, and it shook even more than it did last time, causing nearly all the students to fall.

Adonis and Billy were the only ones who remained standing, and Adonis' distracted face as he stared at the Capital said it all…

"Smoke."

… The horror that was to come.

Right in front of them, the right distance away, dense pillars of smoke began ascending to meet the dark clouds above.

All of this vivid imagery burned into the minds of the students, and there was no longer any confusion or ambiguity.
