Prologue

I'm bad at starting so I'm posting what I have so far to gather opinions. I'll post the rest of it later once I'm sure its decent. I'm trying to post quality and not utter garbage

The weather was rather odd. This statement could be said aloud at any time and it wouldn't seem very strange as such a remark could be seen as pretty much anything. Weird clouds moving in strange ways, the wind shifting constantly, and a whole set of other scenarios that could make one stop and also state "yeah, that is rather strange".

However, the current situation was, quite easily, the most peculiar instance of 'weird weather', at least in Vex Master's opinion.

Having lived in the densely populated New York City for the majority of his life, Vex could affirm that this was the very first time he had witnessed a thunderstorm that lacked both thunder and storm. At the current point in time, he couldn't even state what the thing could be called considering that the nearly pitch black clouds covering the sky lacked the essential components to be called a storm. For the past few days since the appearance of said clouds, the only thing having appeared from above were brilliant streaks of blue lightning, flashes that illuminated the surrounding areas. The lightning strikes were scarce as well, only one striking every other day or so, making things even more confusing.

Vex wasn't really too fond of the appearance of the clouds, rather he was slightly annoyed. As someone who was deep into the habit of resting outside of his school on a patch of grass during lunch hours, it was quite displeasing to have the glorious rays of the sun blocked by stagnant black pieces of fluff and water. The light of the sun was like his power source, with him being someone akin to that of Escanor....or a plant depending on how one interpreted it. He just didnt feel right without his daily sunbathing nap and lately he couldnt experience it due to the sunscreen he was now calling SPF Bullshit Cumulonimbus.

At the moment, apart from dwelling in his own small dose of depression brought upon by the weather, Vex was resting outside, legs stretched out as he slowly picked away at the sandwich he had packed for himself. Though the teachers had instructed everyone to remain indoors for safety purposes, the ominous situation causing many to feel worry and anxiety, Vex had chosen to completely ignore them. Instead of sitting inside like any sane person during a potentially severe storm, he chose to remain outside where he could feel the sharp breeze against his face. He just hadnt really cared enough to follow the orders that had been given especially when one considered the facts garnered from observing the clouds.

No rain, no thunder, lightning that struck random times every other day, and pitch black clouds that were virtually harmless. The odds of something happening to him were slim to nonexistent, or at least that's what Vex wanted to believe. The odds were certainly in his favor and that was enough for him to risk sitting in the exact same spot he sat on every single day, letting fate take the wheel.

At the end of the day however, it was a poor choice as the last thing Vex witnessed was a flash of blinding light followed by a cool refreshing feeling before everything went dark. He didn't have time to even regret his decision before he completely lost consciousness.
