Red Lightning

"Hey, find a place to hide once the struggle starts," Grey whispered to Reynolds. 

Reynolds nodded. He knew his strength all too well, getting involved in the struggle would undoubtedly distract Grey. 

Grey nodded when he saw how quickly Reynolds agreed to his suggestion. 

All three groups waited at the forest, none stepping a foot into the barren land. But it didn't take long before greed pushed someone to take the first step. 

A man from one of the other groups dashed into the barren land, attacking the magical beast in front of him. 

With one person charging forward, the others started jumping in as well. They couldn't take the risk of watching on. What if the guy manages to succeed and acquire the lightning tree, then what. 

Grey stood at the edge of the forest, watching people charge into the barren land. Reynolds and the couple were standing beside him. 

Most of the people from their group had also charged forward.
