Chapter 294 - 6.54 Fierce Storm
Whilst the three of them were having the time of their lives, the world outside the barrier was currently in chaos. Storm wreaked havoc on the houses and summoned out a snow blizzard. The dark sky was raining shards of ice and people were huddling inside their abodes, frightened and anxious. "My Lord... please protect us from the bad weather... Please let it pass soon!" They prayed in diligence, unaware that the God they were pleading to was none other than the source of the chaos.
The travelers who were stuck in the middle of the road weren’t so lucky. A family of four sat in the wooden carriage, a father, mother and their two children. Their horses had long since run off somewhere else, terrified, leaving the four of them trapped in the middle of the raging storm. The father peeked outside through the curtain and shook his head solemnly. "It’s no use. I can’t even see anything out there. It’s too dangerous for us to go out now."
"Mama, are we going to die?" The younger one asked with tears in his eyes.
"Sssh, it’s okay." The mother hugged her little son to her chest. "God will protect us. Nothing will happen."
However, soon after she had said the sentence, their carriage shook violently. The children shrieked loudly, crying. "Mama, Papa! Help!"
The Father tried to hold onto the carriage door but a particular strong gust slammed it open, sending him flying across the seat. Their carriage toppled to the side and the four people inside tumbled out. The young children slipped from their mother’s embrace and rolled a few meters away. Behind them, a fierce tornado was coming.
"Albert! Arthur!" The mother cried out as she struggled to get up, heart in her throat. Her children’s weak cries sounded around her but because of the low visibility, she couldn’t find them at all! "Dear, where are you?!"
"No..." She stared at the rolling ice storm a few distance away with despair in her eyes. "Please... help us, my Lord..."
In the next second, a strong gust of wind blew and she shielded her eyes by reflex. Maybe it was her ears playing a trick on her, but it seemed like she heard the sound of a majestic roar. For a split second, her feet left the ground before landing again on a solid surface. The howling wind calmed down around her.
