It was March, which meant the beginning of spring thunderstorms in Indiana. Sure, they could get really bad, and even produce tornadoes sometimes, but from what he'd read in the forecast, they weren't supposed to get that bad tonight. Just run of the mill regular thunderstorms.
He was working at London Starr until eight, and when he got off work, he was excited to see that there was lightning in the sky to the west, and the occasional clap of thunder. He hadn't missed it.
He hurried out to the park, finding a wide open field. He had a metal sword to attract the lightning, and he was determined to get as good at channeling it as Thalia had been. It wouldn't hurt him, per se, but it took all his energy, and he was as good as useless after channeling one little bolt back home. If he could just get stronger...
A loud crack came down, and the wind and the rain hit his face. The storm was coming closer. He raised his sword in the air like a lightning rod and eventually the air began to vibrate as the lightning struck his sword, travelling down into his body. He didn't burn, wasn't injured, but felt the energy coursing through him as he lowered his sword and directed it at a nearby tree. It shot from his sword and struck the tree, toppling it to the ground. He'd done it!
Then his legs gave out and he fell to his knees, then all fours, trying to catch his breath before he passed out.
