Loud thunder. You jolt from your seat, the book you were reading flying out of your hands and onto the surface of your couch. As you try to compose yourself and catch your breath, you jolt again. This time, it's a knock on your door. As you shakily stand to answer it, you see a small, silver-haired boy in your doorway, his armor and clothes soaking wet. "E-Excuse me... c-could I stay here for a little while...?" His voice was soft, and he was shivering slightly.
