It started with potential, then accumulation, followed by release. And when release came...
Instant.
Atheline disappeared and reappeared hundreds of meters away.
His eyes widened.
He disappeared again, flashing to another location. Unlike his Wind movement, there was almost nothing between the two points, at least, that was how it felt.
The technique wasn't true teleportation, he knew that immediately.
His body still crossed the distance but Lightning compressed the action into such a short interval that perception struggled to follow it.
He appeared on another mountain, then immediately vomited. Atheline remained bent over for several seconds.
"Definitely..." He coughed. "...surface level."
Atheline sat down before his newly discovered understanding convinced him to kill himself through enthusiasm. He remained there for the rest of the day.
Lightning became his sixth Law.
The concepts he'd grasped were only the surface.
Instant.
Release.
Potential becoming action.
