Tribulation Ended?

Tia Alstreim cried miserably as she looked at the skies where the heavenly tribulation clouds began to once again rumble to strike her down. She couldn't understand what she had done to deserve this other than acting willful, but was it so sinful that the heavens decided that she must not live?

She dragged her body as she ran on all fours towards the crater over her side before she saw that her big brother remained unmoving while lightning danced on top of him.

"Big brother..."

Her aggrieved voice resounded in a feeble tone. Even though Davis still seemed to hold the golden-black spear tightly while his body kept twitching, he did not seem to hear his little aunt calling out for him.
