The Celestial Tower's Trials (17)

"Daddy, what is going on?" A boy asked his father after another explosion woke them from their reverie.

"Well, son. We will be going to the mountains with your mom."

The father had no way of explaining what was about to happen to his son. He understood clearly what was about to occur even though their leader didn't explicitly state it, and he wasn't the only one.

Continental plates shifting, natural disaster, or moving to higher ground? Only a few things would require people to move to higher ground. Earthquakes weren't one of them, and floods wouldn't require mass migration, so that only left…

'A tsunami…'

The father had a gloomy look but tried to remain calm and smiling.

"For a picnic?"

The boy asked innocently, and the father could only nod.

"Yay..!"

The kid smiled in happiness as they moved quickly to their assembly point.
