The Rise Of Calamity

"If you know the whereabouts of my daughter, I will not allow you to leave unless you tell us," My father said with a serious expression on his face, one that not many outsides of the army had seen

"I say this respectfully... Move" Olivia's voice causing ripples to be formed in the air before traveling across the room, causing those who were weaker or in the same stage as her to feel threatened while people over her stage felt nothing but the change in everyone else's expression.

"Under military order, I ask you where Pandora Raven is." My father repeated

"Again, I don't know a Pandora Raven" Olivia sneered and tried to walk forward, but she was easily stopped and pushed back.

"This is about my daughter and I will not allow some strangers to keep me away from her" My father's voice became eerily deep as his aura began to slowly seep out of him.

"Your daughter? Pft!" Olivia chuckled mockingly before continuing "Where were you when she was almost sold off to another family by that bitch of a mother" She nodded at Ava, my mother, with disgust evident in her eyes.

"What did you say about my wife!"

"You heard me! I said she is a bitch of a mother. She cares about nothing but increasing the reputation of her family even though she is from one of the biggest families in the empire. I understand that the Raven family isn't that well known in the east, but to think she would go this far?" Olivia snorted again, causing my father to along hit her just to be stopped by the battle intent of another person.

Since Olivia had her mask on, my father could not recognize her. On the other hand, my brothers, Zack, in particular, recognized her alongside my grandma who recognized that the mask had the same design as my own.

"STOP" My grandma roared, causing my father who was a whole stage above her to stiffen.

While she might not have the power that she had back in her prime, she still had the battle intent and killing intent of a veteran warrior, making it so she could easily force someone as strong as my father to stop moving for at least 10 seconds as long as there was a feeling of surprise behind what she did,

At the same time, Zack had moved toward his father while June had released all her power.

"MOM! What are you doing!" Ava asked, seemingly shocked that her mother would even think about siding with us.

"Let me ask the girl some *Cough* questions..." My grandmother smiled, covering up the fact that she just coughed up a bit of blood.

Gritting his teeth, my father retreated a step and looked at all of them with agitation.

"Girl, what is your name?" My grandmother asked

"None of your business" Olivia snorted back, causing Xela to chuckle.

"Why are you with my granddaughter? I am guessing you are close with her if you had already met Juilam, or am I wrong."

Olivia had tried to keep a neutral expression even though she was wearing a mask, yet at the mention of Juilam, her eyes widened into saucers.

"From the reaction, I guess you have... Then, why do you choose to not tell us where she is? You know I met her before you came, right?" My grandma tilted her head to the right while keeping on the expression of a warm smile.

Seeing this, Olivia narrowed her eyes and thought back to when I had left the tent with an angered expression and feelings of rage fluctuating through the mind link even when it was not on.

It was not long until she remembered that there were other people in the tent that had left a few minutes after, making her conclude that they were probably the reason, especially due to the fact that Xela had been asleep when she had walked in.

"Since you are a lot more reasonable than your son-in-law over here" Olivia glanced at my father before retracting her gaze "I'm going to tell you one thing".

At those words, everyone's ears perked up to hear what she was about to say, just for them to become even more shocked and hurt when they heard it.

"Pandora simply does not want to meet you or in other words, thinks that she is not ready to meet you. After what she-" Olivia gestured at Ava with disdain in her eyes. "Did, I would not be surprised if she chose to not ever meet all of you again."

"I'd just like to say something too. Throughout the 6 months that I had known Pandora, she had not even mentioned any of you once. Even our guildmaster who was known for not sharing anything about her life told us more about her family than Pandora did. You guys gave her some serious trust issues" June chimed in just to get glared at by my mother.

"Did I fail her as a father?" My father muttered under his breath, yet due to Olivia being able to hear him because of the remnants of divine energy that had been reinforcing her body and senses, she could not help but think-

'100% failed'

"Anyway, now that you know that she doesn't want to meet you, for now, we'll be taking our leave. Zack, Zarch, and Aroura are free to visit us. Just book a visit with the Pheonix guild and state their names and Pan will be informed." Olivia waved before grabbing June and fleeing from the room, leaving everyone to ponder within their emotions and thoughts.

The moment the two of them had left the room, my father had collapsed to his knees after his legs buckled under the weight of his body alongside the shame that had been placed on his shoulders.

"I failed... My own child... She doesn't even want to see me anymore... She left" My father began to sob for the first time since I had met him. Of course while I might have not been in the room, I was watching from afar, and scene that was occurring had caused my heart to clench in pain, yet I chose to look away, not allowing my eyes to imprint the pitiful scene my father had created.

Tears were flowing my waterfalls as he pressed his hand where his heart was, clenching it alongside his teeth to the point where his gums had started to bleed.

"And all of this because of... You" His eyes trailed off and finally looked at my mother with eyes that I could only describe as being the eyes of the reaper.
