The Storm That Shook The Empire

Alex ran as he had never run before. Seeing such massive beasts being carried around like toys in the storm scared him. What was worse than it was scary fast, and he would definitely not outrun it. 

Soon, he realized that he had to stop. Running was not the way. 

'What do I do? Where do I hide?" he thought and looked around, only to see nothing but the dunes of sand. 

'Underneath?" he thought for a moment. "I have no choice," he thought and quickly took off his robes to use it as a mask. He then dug a hole as fast as he could and jumped in before covering himself with sand. 

He hoped that this would keep him safe from the storm. It didn't. 

Massive winds ripped the very sand from underneath Alex as they sent him tumbling away with them. 

He barely opened his eyes to see the beasts and yang jades floating around. However, he didn't focus on either of them.
