Lightning Is the Only Way

'Where am I? What is this?'

Some random thoughts appeared in Gravis' mind. He was not lucid, and he couldn't comprehend what was happening. Everything was confusing and blurred. He didn't know who he was. He didn't know what he was. There were only some scattered thoughts of some sentient being.

A small figure of Gravis appeared in a sea of lightning, unsure of its existence. The figure looked around, confused by all the inputs that it received. What was this violently moving, blue stuff all around it? Inside the small figure's mind, the word lightning appeared.

"Is this, lightning? What is lightning?" the figure asked as more things appeared inside the figure's mind. Lightning was calm, yet aggressive. It moved around its domain, yet if something touched its domain, it would strike the thing down even if it meant that the lightning would vanish.

Lightning didn't care about its existence. It was there to destroy, and nothing more.

"No, this is wrong," said the figure as more concepts appeared in its mind. "Lightning can also create life. What is life?" asked the figure again, as more concepts flooded its mind. Concepts about life and cultivation appeared.

"This is Destruction Lightning," the figure concluded. "This lightning only exists to destroy and not to create. There are more kinds of lightning. There is also natural lightning and Life Lightning."

"Why can I only see Destruction Lightning?" the figure asked itself as it looked around. "I don't want to destroy. If it only destroys, then why does it exist?"

The figure was unsure about where it was or why it was. There was only the power of destruction surrounding it, making it feel uncomfortable. Every new life was innocent and only yearned for happiness. Why would anyone want to destroy anything? Happiness was the most important.

More and more concepts appeared in the figure's mind as time flew by. "I am… Gravis. I am the son of the Opposer. Why am I here? What is this lightning world? Where is father? Where is mother? Where is Stella?"

Gravis regained more and more memories as time flew by. "Father and mother are at home. Stella… is dead."

When Gravis said that, he felt like the world was crashing down. Hadn't they played just yesterday? Why was he here?

Slowly, the following years also appeared in Gravis' mind. He remembered Forneus, his preparation school, the practical tests, and also his brother Orpheus. Slowly, Gravis' expression grew solemn. "I can only use lightning if I want to fight Heaven. I notice that I am quickly regaining memories. It seems like I have done something risky with all this lightning, but I am not sure what."

As Gravis remembered different things, he went through all of his experiences again. It was like he was living his life for the second time. He felt the pain of being lonely in this lower world. He felt the guilt and regret about killing Gorn. He remembered the happiness of meeting Skye.
