Annah is an arms dealer, her company is one of the best companies out there they call themselves 'The Caters' She does dirty work here and there but she knows how to cover up her tracks

That is a destruction itself! "No.. It can't be. That - that is not a calamity! That is not a fucking calamity!" Jevro blurted. Yes, what in front of our eyes is not Calamity that we used to know. The calamity we know is similar to the dark cloud that can actually release millions of deadly insects like locust. And yes, it can also kill any living beings but after attacking one place, they'll disappear too. They have a core.. It's a black core..

Thunderous stygian flocculent clouds shadowed the vast expanse of the sky, locking in the gleam of nature's eternal daylight completely, blending the surrounding blue with pastels of grey and lavender. Cool breeze escalated resulting into a destructive storm lingering over the sky of svamgarh. Saanvi peeled her gaze from the window, stressed and a little worried if something unpleasant might happen or rather going out at this hour would be safe?

I dropped to my knees and my eyes burned with tears all over again. ‘What have I done?’ “Lesson one; for every one of your actions, your loved ones will take the penalty.” Uncle Xavier informed me as he walked around the table, coming to see the mess I had caused. "You monster!" I choked out, my voice barely a whisper as I stared at the blood pooling around the butler’s head. “Your father was one also,” he defended. Shaking my head, I whispered “That is where you are wrong. My father would never kill someone like this.”

“Why is that?” “I hate it when they say that when you were inside the womb of your mother, your fate has already been established.

The big torrent of fire soared high to the starless night sky, brutally swallowing everything on its path. Thick dust and hazy smoke ran rampant upon the street. Civilians are running away in fear, begging and pleading for anyone to help them. The cries of grievance echoing from all directions. The sight is too gruesome. Burned and charred remains, limbless bodies, and decapitated corpses are scattered on the ground. Hell has broken loose. The once beautiful Grandia has no longer existed. This is a pure catastrophe.

Lilith was gone. Maya rushed to the main console. The screen was scrolling in a terrifying red. TOTAL SYSTEM PURGE INITIATED. 45 SECONDS TO CORE MELTDOWN. "No, no, no," Maya’s fingers flew across the keys. Lilith hadn't wanted the key to rule. She had initiated a Scorched Earth protocol. If the servers melted, Astraea would cease to exist. The global supply chain would collapse, and Maya would be the one blamed for the greatest economic disaster in history.

"The one Marcus's journal mentioned. Die and both worlds collapse." "Yes. Mutual destruction." I pulled up another image, a diagram carved into the stone showing two circles overlapping, then shattering into fragments. "The prophecy describes it as 'the unraveling.' When the Cycle-born dies during the merger attempt, the energy Lycaon has gathered doesn't dissipate. It tears through both realities like a wildfire through dry grass. The human world and the supernatural world collapse into each other catastrophically. Imagine earthquakes that split continents, storms that drown nations, reality itself coming apart at the seams."

Now, parts of it still looked like the Cataclysm had happened yesterday. Nobody really knew what had caused it. The official explanation was a natural disaster, though calling it a disaster almost felt like an understatement. Typhoons tore through entire cities. Tsunamis swallowed coastal towns. Earthquakes split roads and brought buildings crashing down. Floods buried homes, wildfires consumed forests, and violent storms destroyed anything that had somehow survived the first wave.

I whisper under my breath at the same time he announces the same name out loud. Shit. The bottom drops out of my stomach as he confirms my worst fears. Cataclysm: Earth has generated a huge amount of buzz.
