The Lightning Bolt

Ning and Byron walked together toward the edge of the city, a few hundred meters to the side of the port.

Byron had a boat attached at the very edge of the port, which he quickly untied and got onto it. Ning jumped and slowly landed on the boat as well.

"You wanna paddle?" he asked Ning.

"Sure," Ning said and started paddling as the two left the shore.

Ning looked at the sunny sky that was slowly being covered up by clouds. It was afternoon, and at any moment it would start raining.

"Any moment now, the first lightning strike will hit," Byron said. "We have to be there to catch it."

Ning nodded. "But how will we catch it exactly?" he asked. "How do you want to use the Lightning Essence Crystal here."

"You will see," Byron said with a mysterious smile. He couldn't wait to show something amazing to this amazing man.
