![]() I'm grumpy and useless.You make everything better by being happy at it." "You're good because you're always all happy and singy." She sighed. "I mean that's not what's good about you!" She turned back around. "That doesn't make me feel better at all!" "Nobody ever thought you were the Hero anyway." "That's dumb.You're being really dumb." Miriam turned around. And I thought I could save the world, but I can't. "No! I'm not the hero Miriam." they said, still lying on the floor. "It looked like something went wrong." She continued, "So I came, um.Are you okay?" Their eyes looked far away and their face was scrunched in pain. "Hey.Wake up!"įinally, the Bard opened their eyes. Just as she was checking their head, they started shifting. Any unconsciousness is a cause for concern but anything more than a few seconds could mean a serious head injury. On one hand, she was grateful that the Bard had no serious wounds, but there was nothing else visibly wrong with them and Miriam didn't know what was wrong. After she confirmed they were, in fact, alive, she did a more thorough scan for any blood or wounds. It was slow and faint but it was definitely there. When she saw none, she checked their pulse. Once Miriam reached the Bard, she knelt down and did a once-over to check for any signs of blood. Miriam walked faster than she cared to admit. "Lute?" The Bard was a couple of yards away, lying still on the ground. The only thing she saw when she turned around was a large crown, clearly the Overseer's. She didn't expect much now that the Overseer was dead, but she didn't expect to see nothing. When she finally made it into the Spirit World, what she saw was. If she really was capable of killing an Overseer, she could be a threat. After hearing about how the Hero killed the Overseer, Miriam was desperate to get inside of the Spirit World and see it for herself. Something about the Hero's demeanor made her uneasy, and she couldn't wait for their short conversation to be over. They exchanged a couple of terse words, then the Hero was on her way. She had an attitude that could rival Miriam's, and an arrogance that made Miriam dislike her. While Miriam was waiting for the Bard to return from the spirit world, the Hero suddenly appeared, startling her. In addition, Adler pointed out that the shock can temporarily paralyze the diaphragm and knock out circuits in the brain that instructs the body to breathe.Miriam thought the Hero was.an interesting character. "With every beat the heart depolarizes and changes its electrical signal. "Commonly, when there is a strike that affects the heart directly, there is a massive shutdown," Adler said. ![]() "When people are struck, current travels around the body, and sometimes people do surprisingly well, or through the body, which is a more severe injury and very broad," Adler said.Īn intense shock can severely impair most of the body's vital functions. Although Adler said these kinds of strikes account for only 4 percent of all reported strikes, they are the most dangerous. Jonathan Adler, an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.Īccording to John Jensenius, a lightning safety expert at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the average lightning bolt carries 20,000 to 30,000 amperes of charge and about 300 million volts.Ī direct hit occurs when all of the lightning's energy is directed through the body or over the body on the skin. "Lightning is a much larger problem than most people think," said Dr. Yet the awesome electrical power of a lightning bolt, whether it hits a person directly or indirectly, can leave significant, lasting physical and mental damage, including burns, vision loss and personality changes. ![]() Lightning is second only to floods as the deadliest natural threat, claiming about 58 lives each year, according to data from the National Weather Service.
