Boom!
A tall, straight figure suddenly shot up from the smoke and dust that filled the sky, coming to a steady halt high in the air.
Though his clothes were torn, scorched, and stained with blood, his eyes shone like brilliant stars as he looked proudly up at the heavens.
Above, the thick tribulation clouds churned on without rest, lightning still flashing a few unwilling times as muffled rumbles rolled out.
But in the end, they began to slowly spin, thin, and finally, as shafts of heavenly light pierced through them, gradually dispersed, revealing a clear, bright sky once more.
