Sunbreak

[Valannor 6349]

 

 

"The Light shines brightest in those consumed by it..."

 

 

The wind ran foul, fraught with remnant fear and trepidation after the fall of Ando Alur, and the cataclysm wrought upon the world by the Titan’s kith and kin. The sun’s weary rays crested the peaks of the Urguani mountain ranges, as dawn’s first light touched upon the homeland of Urguan’s sons and daughters - what would, any other day, have been but a usual coming and passing of the days.

 

And yet…

 

The trees bowed as a harsh gale blew throughout the valley of a particular mountain, the hearty oaks and mighty birches groaning under the strain of the tempest that brewed o’erhead, magnificent lightning of gold, silver, and emerald hue brewing in the storm clouds that let out some defiant, thunderous cry - if one were there, they might even liken it to the roar of a great and indomitable Lion. Though, as swiftly as it came, the storm soon dissipated, the radiance of the effluvient star once more shining upon that mountain - a portent of the morning’s blessing upon the land, which now bore a particular hallowed inclination, akin to the unbending will of Sunlight, refusing to acknowledge the tyranny of the darkness it had left behind.

 

Sunbreak, one might say.
