The Rise Of Calamity

*Gasp*

The moment I opened my eyes I sucked in a gallon of air as if I had been holding my breath throughout my entire sleep.

While Panting heavily, I touched my chest that had felt like it had become extremely light. It was as if the dream I had, rather than swallowing my existence had swallowed a fraction of my sorrows and pains.

'Oh crap,' I swiftly jumped out of my sheets and ran outside in a panic. I had promised June that I would keep watch suing my ability, but since I had gone to sleep, it meant that I wasn't keeping watch therefore meaning something could have attacked us and the only thing that would have protected us throughout the night would have been the feeble barrier arcane spell I had set up before going to sleep.

Walking out of my tent, I felt the scorching sun's rays land on my face making me squint and furrow my brows.

"Oh? So you are finally awake?" A voice entered my ears from the side.

"Uh... Uhm... D-Did anything happen?" I stuttered

"Yes, but your unreliable ass wasn't there to say anything I had to come out and guard the place for the entire night. Not only that but when I tried to wake you up, you slapped me super hard!" She stared at me with the same glare that she had been using against me yesterday.

"I-I did?"

"..."

"Hello?"

However, she did answer my question and simply stomped away clearly enraged.

"S-Sorry?" I managed to let out before she go out of my 'line of sight'

'Hey, analysis?'

[Yes sleeping beauty]

'Will you tell me what happened before I slept?'

[I don't know what to tell you...]

'What was that voice?' I asked, a little more agitated now.

[Voice? Have you started going crazy? I shouldn't be surprised though, you have always shown signs of craziness hahaha]

'...'

After the very short conversation with analysis, I packed up the tents into my dimension ring and ran to find June.

Right now with my divine eyes, I could see her walking a little over 500 meters away as she encountered a beast. The beast was a giant moth, the size of an average male, with two beautiful black and green wings sprouting from its back.

Even though it looked ferocious, I could feel a feeling of warmness or companionship within its eyes, as if it was telling everyone that it was not a threat and that they should not feel scared of it.

Narrowing my eyes, I swiftly bent my knees before launching myself towards her and within 10 seconds, I was right behind her.

Looking at June, I could see that she wanted to pet it due to the feeling it gave her.

"JUNE!" I shouted making her snap out of her daze, but it was too late.

Now that she had gotten too close, the once calm and even cute-looking moth turned ferocious while its mouthless head turned into a maw with countless sharp teeth waiting to bite June's head off.

*Boom*

With a single punch powered by a rocket behind my elbow, the once ferocious-looking moth had now turned into a stain on the grassy land.

I looked at June with a tilt of the head as if saying 'Really?' which subsequently made her lower her head in shame, yet she did not forget to get the last word in.

"I had that handled, plus, my body is strong enough to take a bite from it" She grumbled

"Sure, whatever you say... Anyway, now that you are done being stupid, let us get going. I have all your shit in my ring so you don't have to go back, alright?" I snarled as she nodded grudgingly

Eventually, we started running again, jumping and swerving on and around trees with trunks on the side of 4 average men. The only thing left though before we disappeared like floating lights were the footprints of fractures left after landing onto some of the weaker branches.

After running for another 3 hours out of the 7 it would take to get there, we paused for a brief break as June had to catch her breath while I acted as if I was also slightly tired from running for so long.

In reality, the whole time I was running, I was simultaneously listening to music I asked analysis to play. While the music would change every now and then. the main ones were "everyday normal guy 2" which apparently lost its effects on me after I had started crying the last time I heard, while also listening to a playlist of melancholic songs like "As the world caves in" or "The remedy of a broken heart"

"Yo, June?" I finally spoke while looking into the distance while sitting on a branch and swinging my feet.

"Yes?" She panted

"What happened at night?"

"You ask me now?" She snorted

"Yes. Now please tell me because I am freaking out about the fact I can't remember why I blacked out" I lied through my teeth.

Honestly, making it seem urgent sounded like the best way for me to get her to spit it out. Saying that I could not remember why I blacked out would make it sound like whatever had woken her up in the night might have knocked me out first, therefore also allowing me to take the blame off myself.

'Aren't I a manipulative bitch?' I thought happily as if I had accomplished something

"R-really?" I could see June visibly shuddering while her face turned pale which immediately grabbed my full attention.

"What is it?" I titled my head

"Well, at first I thought it was just a powerful beast that had revealed its presence or for some reason had flown over our area. I thought it was some kind of beast that had just come to the area, you know?" She shivered

"What is it?"

"It was a presence, a very powerful one..." She frowned and looked towards the direction we had been traveling in.

"How powerful?" I questioned with a tinge of curiosity.

"I'm not sure, but it was at least higher than our guildmaster's full power"

"..." I knitted my brows even more

'What do you know?' I clenched my hand into a fist and turned to analyze for the answer...

[Btw, I am trying to find analysis a name but instead of doing it myself, I wanted you guys to give it HER a name.. I will choose the one I like most, and if I don't get many good submissions, I will just make a name myself.]
