...

Explosions rang through the air. The afternoon sky is filled with a haze of orange. Each explosion racked the air with smoke and dust. There must've been hundreds by the time that I stood up and flinched.

Ready for... for what? I couldn't do anything if they targeted me. The power of these explosions were equivalent in power to one of Lily's punches. Greater? That... that might even be true.

But... and I knew this. They are deadly. And whatever was out there fighting is well above my weight class.

I watch as two figures fall from the sky. One covered in wounds, and another unscathed. I wasn't able to completely tell what had happened, nor was I able to see the result as clearly as I want to. But just knowing that they existed along with the other rulers was enough to light a fire in my eyes.
