This journey will begin with bolts of lightning and sounds of thunder until he learns to tame his thoughts of conducting the clouds in a magical dance. As the skies darken into the night the young wizard must challenge his fears and to conquer his ascent to the top of Thunder Mountain…only then will this young apprentice face his fear of capturing this magical moment that happens only but once, in every 28 years. At that very moment as the clouds dance, the thunder strikes, is there a symphony of light and music never seen or heard like any other place in time…Nothing Else Matters…this is the moment of being Thunderstruck and the tale of Pyro Fantasia…begins…”
