Shortly after arriving back at Elena's childhood home, a storm had broken out. It was a vicious and violent storm, the likes this specific region of the country had not seen in years, or perhaps even in decades. It was hard to tell if this was a natural occurrence, of if greater and mysterious forces were at work.
After all, such a storm was abnormal, and this city was not built to resist any form of significant flooding. With the world changing in so many ways, it was hard to tell what was happening and why.
But what was real was the fact that for the first time since Zane had been born, the streets outside of Elena's home, or any street in the city for that matter, had been well and completely flooded.
If a man were to step foot in said streets, the water would go well past their ankles. And for a city located in a desert like the one where Zane had grown up, this was a seriously troublesome matter in its own right.
