LOG#024 by Auriscenes published on 2021-02-25T00:53:59Z One can feel it in the air: an electricity that surges through the atmosphere and flows through every person, every animal, and even the rock underfoot. Throughout the days on this planet the current builds in a rumbling crescendo until it is released all at once in an explosive event. The locals gather on a large plain while black storm clouds roil above. Two fighters chosen to represent their respective clans enter this battlefield to claim glory in battle. Theirs is a match of strength, but in a different way than you might imagine. Not with fists or blades but rather with the storm's lightning itself do they spar, each harnessing the bolts shooting from the sky as a weapon against their opponent. It is more than just exchanging blows: they play a kind of tug-of-war with the storm itself, vying for control of the maelstrom above. How they accomplish this nature-defying feat without harm to themselves is a mystery to me, though I've heard it has to do with an abundance of magnetic materials in their bodies. Regardless, their mastery of this craft is stunning; the duel is a wonder to behold. Ground-shaking rumbles and sharp cracks assault spectators' ears, providing the perfect accompaniment for their supportive clamor as the combatants furiously clash. Both fighters' bodies become charred from the sheer galvanic force they wield. By the end the competitors are not the only ones that walk away feeling electrified. Renown has been earned, at least until the next storm builds. The dark clouds dissipate, leaving behind nothing but soft, wet ground and the echoes of heated battle.
