drip drip drip

A youth was running in the middle of a narrow street, pulling his jacket's collar to cover his head.

there was a heavy downpour in Giza and the neighboring governorates, all radio stations advised everyone to cease All activity and stay indoors.

"damn it, damn it, damn it!"

"damn the weather forecasts! where the hell is the 'sunny for a week straight' in this rain?!"

"this is the damn first day!"

Most of the time, if the youth wasn't in university, he would be in his room playing on his pc. mother couldn't even scold him because somehow he mostly got straight A's.

The lowest grade he got on a course was B-. so even if his mother attempted to turn the game off and tell him to study or do something useful, he would just pull out the recent grades he got and continue whatever he was doing.

That's why she decided to give him money and tell him to get out and have fun outside, It took few months to finally convince him to take a walk to the nearby pastry shop and chill outside.

he even listened to her and didn't wear the hoodie he wears every day.

........not even halfway when he found the previously clear sky get filled with grey clouds and a sudden downpour to fall on his head.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

'what kind of mother wants her son to leave the house? she should be more grateful! where other kids use their vape every minute of the day or always get in fights, I am obediently staying in my room. such an age we live in....'

The youth turned and went up the short stairs while getting the keys out of his pockets.

Soon, he opened the door to the building where his parent's apartment is. the light of entrance showed the youth who entered.

he had a fair skin with brown eyes, he had messy black hair -messy even before the rain- with short sides. he wore a loose black jacket and black wide jeans.

even though he didn't go outside a lot, he always liked to wear nice clothes.

his fashion sense was all about wearing comfortable and loose bland clothes, if he got out then at least he wants to feel free and comfortable in his outfit.

'It is a good thing, I suppose, that it rained because I got to avoid spending even 30 minutes outside and gained some good son points! I can't wait to make some coffee and game until sunrise! oh wait, I have a lecture tomorrow......' 

without him noticing, a faint golden symbol started forming under him and started to grow intense.

as he closed the door and took a step forward, the symbol fully martialized and blinding light filled area.

'actually, rainy weather equals a cup of tea with mint! professor wafde is such a pain in the butt. but if i arrive early and doze off, the 1 hour will fly by a-'

"AUGH!"

the blinded him as soon as him took the step and he fell on his knees.

he managed to take a glimpse down to the floor to see a golden symbol with weird symbol underneath his feet shining with intense light.

'w-what is th-'

loud uncoherent whispers started entering his ears, and weird runes started floating out of the glowing circle. 

suddenly the already intense light grew more and it appeared as the world appeared as thought the world became dyed in white.

with it, the youth felt a strong headache followed by tingling all across his body.

not even moment passed that the light vanished, and the entrance of the building grew normal again.

.....only that the youth vanished as well.
