Damocles and Louis had very different opinions od Jean the first firmly believed him to be a blessed one a saint if you prefer, but louis was of less faith in this mater, he thought him to be a very powerful psychic in the better case but nothing holy, alas, people of little faith if a miracle the need to see a miracle they will have, just not the kind they expected.
Jean Batiste and his lot had camped very far from Thebba cause in Jeans own words it was "safer" for them they would soon find out what he was meaning by this.
Damocles being a pilot of much experience flown the aircraft that took him, Louis and Jean to the proximities of Thebba, from what they could see from air The Lazarus' warning had been completely ignored, the Temple of Null was still in ruins and nobody had put a hand on it to repair it in any way, the downtown was still an everlasting orgy of wine and devauchery, it was time to show them a miracle if a miracle was what they wanted, Jean told Damocles to fly away and half the way to The Pit of Thebba he told him to stay staeady and wait for him, then he just jump of to a thusand feet fall but he floated.
-A good Psychic but nothing else- muttered Louis as he saw Jean floating a few hundred feet from ground, Damocles was about to make a remark when a beam of light came from below, The lazarus was shining, all from the sudden they heard a hoarse and high-pitched boom, and a big extention of dirt of at least ten round miles jumped up, it was like a strange pulse like if something had exploded underground, the blast made damocles lose control of the ship and for a moment they thought they were doomed but he managed to make the ship to stop spining and started flying away, Louis was looking back to the spot and asked hi to go back when Damocles asked him what had happened Louis only response was "You're not gonna believe this".
From a flying machine you can't feel an earthquake but all the land there was shaking like never before and as if the ground had been stabbed a five mile wide strip of dirt was quickly sinking in.
They didn't know it but the walls of the Pit of Thebbah were collapsing right then and thousands of tons of dirt and stone were filling in the giantic hole, in Thebba the gas and oil underground pipelines exploded setting the place afire, the main streets broke and sunk, cutting the city in half while the earthquake was making the buildings fall, according to survivors nobody in the city's downtown managed to excape thanks to the wall that they had built around it. The two halves of the parted city finally collapsed sinking in, there were no more Pit of Thebba or Thebba at all, from now on it would be known as The Canyon of Thebba, the explotion and the earthquake had broken the dirt covering the Pit and creating a canyon from the former Pit to where the city of Thebba used to lay.
