Saying today is a good day, is an understatement from the leaders of the Arena. Today is the perfect day for them because all of the unnecessary hurdles on their paths has been resolved.
°New elections for the common people leaders'- Check
°The budget for the new term- Check
°The Expansion Project for New Territorial- Check
Everything is double check for them. Now all that's left to do is lazing around at the coast of a underground ice cave and sipping on kokoye cocktail; meanwhile, the common people are working with barely enough time to rest let alone find a drop of ice water to drink under the blazing suns.
This is the reality of those living in the Arena Zone, the biggest territory in the wasteland and the most hatefull between the four Zones in the wasteland. Little do those leaders know that is the last peaceful time they'll ever have.
Dust clouds are an everyday occurrence in the wasteland but last ones actions' are rather peculiar according to Pierro the self-taught weather-man.
From experiences, he knows that dust clouds are not forming a storm. Too bad that his boss is busy kissing the big boss behind to notice anything strange around him. It's not like they will take is worrying into consideration after all, he's a self-taught man, and that comes with its own perks. But right now, it's more like a drawback.
The squeaky noises of the old wooden staircase alert him of someone coming up his way. Another example of thing that needs to change here but right now his current statue only afford him to worry about his future.
"Hello! Anyone here?" A woman's voice inquiries. "Your food is here."
"In the observatory," He yells back. The lighthouse main function is to study the movements of the weather but also the home apprentices. The weather masters are always on the ground sending reports to the observatory for the apprentices to classify them.
"Hey your delivery is here!" The young lady stands behind him now.
"Leave it here, thanks !" He bluntly answers the young lady without sparing her a glance. He promised himself that he'll ask her out once he saves enough money to rent for a place to live. His meager salary only allow him to dream about it.
"It's nice here." She says tentatively. Pierro has no way of knowing that Elise feelings was not so different from his own; his stubbornness makes it more impossible for him to see clearly.
After an awkward silence, Pierro hears retracting footsteps. "The best in whole Arena Zone." He answers quietly. Damn it!
In his line of sight, he notices one report on the shelf in front of him falls on the ground. Then another follows, another one and the whole shelf falls on the ground. A loud grumbling noise follows a high pitch one get him out of the strance. When he looks out of the open window, a whole lot of dusting clouds form.
He hears the high pitch voice again but this time, he knows the owner of the voice. He makes his way towards that voice with only one goal. To save his favorite person in the whole Arena Zone. The building sways with him and makes it impossible to walk in a straight line. Objects fall around him and the crackling noises get louder by every second. The phone lines ring but his first priority and only priority is to find Elise.
