The Lightning Bender and The Battle Of The East

The Journey Towards Exphoria

After the little talk and the little food, I looked around the land and noticed the hut is at the top of a valley that has the view of the Jacques Mountain. Jacques Mountain has an altitude of about two thousand feet and I will reach the top of the mountain in twenty days. I looked at he valley at the bottom of the mountain and saw a rice paddy has been placed with some wheats on it. The weather around the area is so sunny but the wind is so cool. I bet I'm still in London though I can see that the skies is still foggy but no rain clouds, just foggy.

I walked to the edge of the cliff where the hut is located. I looked down and saw a hundred-feet fall down and grass grew on the bottom of the cliff. So I walked away from the cliff and started to balance the staff on my hands, though I didn't know who owned the said staff. I twirled the staff with my hands and started to think of what should I do with the staff.

Then I started to realize I have the power of the lightning and I can do whatever I wanted to do with lightning. So I closed my eyes and breathe slowly as I channel the lightning from the inside out. Suddenly, I noticed a spark came out from nowhere and, when I opened my eyes, the staff started to glow a bright light-blue color.

Suddenly, I noticed I was floating in the air as I was still twirling the staff on my hands. A minute later, I was three meter high and almost above the small hut. I looked up and saw the staff became bluer and bluer and the blue light extended three feet on both ends of the staff, now, looking like a propeller. As I twirl the staff, the blue light also twirled.

I lowered the speed of my twirling and immediately gone back to the ground. Then I stopped my twirling and walked inside the small hut. When I got back, I saw the old man with his old wife eating their own lunch. The wife looked at me and smiled.

"Thank the gods you're awake, boy." the wife said at me.

I looked at the woman and smiled.

"Yes." I said back. "I already thanked them."

The woman is on her fifties, like the old man. She's wearing her white tee with brown jumper and a blue apron, and a pair of brown pointy shoes. The woman has white maiden cap with a curly-fashioned design on the edges. The woman has wrinkles on her forehead, a small black mole at the side of his nose, a huge pimple on the left side of the nose, a square chin, and a pair of green eyes. She looked so happy to see me alive and she have this same personality as Mom.

"Sit and rest." the wife said at me. "Eat something."

I sat on the bench with the two couple and started to rest. Then I took the spoon and started to eat. Suddenly, the man looked at me and started to wonder.

"What is your name, boy?" he asked. "What shall we call you?"

I looked at the man and started to smile.

"My name is Alex Turner." I replied to the man. "You can call Alex."

The old man looked at his old wife and smiled.

"I just found out that Alex has the Hands of Zeus." the man said to his wife.

The woman looked at her partner and she looked at amazed at the words her husband just said.

"Really?" she asked back. "Do you think he is that one?"

The man ate a scoop and looked at his wife.

"I think he is the one." he replied to his wife. "I can see that he has that kind of prowess. He is the one, Fraulein."

The woman looked at me, with a doubt, and smiled.

"Are you really the one, son?" she asked.

I smiled as I stood up and walked out from the bench, I held my right hand on my hand and exerted some lightning on my hand. The blue lightning came out from my hand and immediately circulated around my hand. I looked at the woman and saw her amazement on her face as she saw the lightning around my hand. So I stopped the showoff, sat back to the bench and continued eatint.
