Grey thunderclouds slowly blocked out the sun, causing the day to darken with a gloomy atmosphere.
The world welcomed the arrival of the sprinkling rain and cackling lightning strikes, but the strong winds had yet to come.
It was only the first sign of an incoming storm.
Nevertheless, the initial light sprinkles from the sky were enough to scatter the gathering crowd around Aeliana's tree. They quickly went back to town to seek shelter before the heavy downpour arrived.
Shortly after the crowd dispersed from the area, Aeliana exited the tree before she headed north into the mountains.
But not long after she left, a group of people returned with umbrellas and ventured into the mountains.
"Lady Solana didn't bring an umbrella when she left, and she hasn't been cured of the curse. She will get sick if she gets soaked in this cold rain."
"Right, right. We better be quick before it starts pouring hard."
