The storm shrouded everything in impenetrable darkness. The roaring thunderclaps reverberated across the plain, and a deluge of water was falling from the sky, as if the heavenly floodgates had shattered under the immense pressure, dooming the world to be drowned.
Frequent bolts of lightning tore apart the darkness, replacing it with blinding light. And somewhere below, the tidal hum of the colossal waterfall was fusing with the raging song of the furious storm.
Rain stood at the edge of the abyss, looking at the black sky with a resentful expression.
Behind her, Tamar was looking back, at the hideous shape of the pursuing Tyrant.
There was nowhere for them to run.
"Rani! The Tyrant…"
Rain looked at the sky, and then took a deep breath.
Then, surrounded by the raging storm, she sat on the ground at the edge of the abyss. Crossing her legs, she placed her hands on her knees, and closed her eyes.
