28 Breakthrough (1/2)

In Mellisa's dark shack, the atmosphere is dreadful. Elanor sighs before putting on a smile. ”No worries. Since my master gave medicine, it's not impossible. Leave it to me!” She says giving a guts pose.

Mellisa nods reservedly. She couldn't break down in front of her daughter she thought. ”Yes, here you should take a pill now,” she says as she pulls a pill from the bag. As she hands the pill to her daughter, she sees her hand shaking. Mellisa grabs her arm to steady it.

”Don't worry mom, I'll try my best,” Laurel consols her mother. She reaches out grabbing her mother's hand, with both of hers in comfort. She then slowly takes the pill. With a gulp, she swallows the pill. ”Blah, it's so bitter!” She yells sticking out her tongue. ”How do you feel?” asks the worried mother.

As Laurel scrapes her tongue with her, hand to get rid of the bitter taste her, world seems to come to a sudden halt. She looks around a bit disoriented. ”Honey?” Mellisa asks with fear. ”I'm alright, it's just... different,” the girl replies. It feels as if the ground she stands on, went from shifting sand to solid ground.

”Since your feeling alright we should get started!” Elanor says grabbing the girls arm dragging her out. ”Right,” Laurel says while clenching her fists. As they exit the shack, the atmosphere feels strange.

Off to the side, Arron is cradling both Anna and Franklin protectively. Anna is still quaking from the 'healing' she received. While Franklin was still unconscious from the angry stare.

However, most eyes were looking at the sky, in fear. Everyone was muttering in confusion at the scene. There is a dark ominous cloud, that almost looks like a hand, trying to break through the heavens. ”Tribulation clouds?” Elanor asks while pondering the situation.

”Training can wait a bit, your assistance may be required.” Elanor hears John say in her head. ”Looks like we're about to see a good show.” She laughs while folding her arms under her chest causing them to heave and bounce. She then pats Laurel's head saying, ”Don't worry it's nothing dangerous. I'll just go help out a bit, be right back.”

Elanor jumps up the hill quickly. As she climbs the hill, Joe looks angrily at the sky. ”MOOORROO!” He roars at the tribulation clouds. Below the normal citizen in the village, shake as if they were in an earthquake from the shock of the yell.

As if in response to the roar of the demonic bull, the first tribulation lightening smashes down, turning the world white. Joe jumps into the air and takes the first lightning bolt with his horns, smashing it to bits. Joe snorts in triumph. However, the first strike is the weakest, the danger would only grow from here.

The next bolt of tribulation lightning fell towards the round demonic bull. Joe stares at the sky with determination in his eyes. He sends his demonic energy out to contend with the lightning. The world became a black and white one, as the dark energy from Joe collides, with the light from the heavens. After a moment of pushing and pulling the lightning was sent back to the sky.
