Chapter 2

Highest among the cliff dwellings dwelt Kyn and his family, Mother, Father,
and two sisters. Their abode was cut far back into the mountain, with broad
road like hallways, a kitchen the size of an inn, a dining room that would
shame many a town square, two guestrooms, and with each member having a
cavernous room for themselves. A rivulets of water passed through the center
of the main hall and was a source of joy for those baby Storm Giants too
young to brave the torrential rapids of the mountain river below. This
stream of water ran out the main entrance to spill over a lip of stone, a
natural porch of sort, before cascading into the river below.


It was from this vantage point that Kyn would spend hours observing the now
diminutive forms frolicking in the waters below. With his panoramic view he
could often see events brewing, before those who were directly involved in
them could. A tree trunk drifting down the river, strait toward the back of
an suspecting bather. A young storm skipping flat rocks over the water, but
unable to see that he just missed the head of an elderly storm hidden just
below the waters surface because of the refractions. An elderly Storm not
realizing he was spared a pounding headache from that same rock because he
was chasing fish that were harder and harder to catch every year.

It is because of this that Kyn developed a sense of introspection and was
able to remain detached from the chaos around him since he reminds himself
that he is a part of a series of events that he can not see in its entirety.
