Northern Sands (II)

Despite Kieran moving with frightening alacrity, dodging the downpour conjured by the Sentinels of the Northern Sands was difficult. It was a matter of understanding the rhythm of the downpour and having the required raw stats to overcome the speed of the earthbound sand.

Luckily, understanding the rhythm wasn't hard for Kieran, who had an exceptional mind now that he had comfortably crossed the Inhuman Threshold. And when it came to utilization his attributes, he could boast he could eke out close to perfection.

Of course, he wasn't so egotistical to believe that he was truly perfect. Humans were prone to mistakes — such was the curse of humanity. Most progress occurred in the process of making many mistakes. 

Even now, Kieran found himself making mistake that fortunately wouldn't cost him dearly. Amid the downpour were many outliers that didn't follow the set rhythm, which led to Kieran being hit by the descending sand pellets.
