Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis stood beside the still Grand Lake as he felt the death of a world.

How many beings were able to experience the death of an entire world?

How many beings could feel the feeling of absolute isolation that such a situation gave one?

Gravis took in the feeling for half an hour as he stood completely still.

"It's time, Heaven," Gravis said, his voice the only sound in this world.

"Don't be impatient," a genderless voice said as someone appeared close to Gravis.

Gravis was shocked.

Heaven had answered him?

Gravis looked to his left, where he saw a human looking silently at the Grand Lake.

This was Heaven.

Heaven looked like a young and thin person, its gender indiscernible. Yet, there was one major difference. This human had seven eyes instead of only two, all their eyes arranged in a circle.

"Take in the feeling of a dead world, Gravis," Heaven said, not looking at him. "This is a rare opportunity, and you shouldn't waste it."

Gravis didn't want to follow what Heaven said, but he also felt like Heaven wouldn't use such a trick to attack him. The highest Heaven wanted Gravis to become powerful, and this Heaven followed its ancestor's commands and teachings.

Gravis also looked at the Grand Lake as he started to lose himself in the stillness of nothingness.

His mind wandered as incomprehensible thoughts shot through it. He had no idea what he was thinking, and as time passed, he started to forget everything in the stillness.

Nothing moved.

Not even Gravis moved.

His body, mind, soul, and being stilled as he became one with the world.

BOOOOOM!

Gravis' head suddenly shot up as consciousness returned to him. He was pulled out of the feeling of stillness as he had just comprehended a Law.
