Descent Through the Corpse

Boom!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky as bolts of lightning crisscrossed. A bolt struck the ground, creating a huge crater in the wilderness which revealed coffins.

Crack!

Another bolt of lightning struck one of the coffins.

The coffin was made of some unknown wood. When the lightning struck it, sparks flew and enveloped the entire coffin, but it didn't damage it at all.

Lightning bolts descended one after another, but as though they were individually sentient, they landed on five different coffins.

Lightning flashed over the five coffins. After a while, the lightning surrounding the coffins vanished. The dark clouds and storm in the sky also dissipated.

With a few soft sounds, the lids of the five coffins were slowly pushed open. The corpses sat up in the coffins.
