The Rise Of Calamity

'Mom? Dad?' My eyes widened at the sight of both of my parents in the tent with my grandma.

From what I could see, my mother was currently hugging two boys who happened to be my brothers while stroking both of their hair. From how her body shuddered every now and then alongside her soul flame flickering in relief and anxiety, I could tell that she was crying.

The two boys who were my brothers were also crying, but unlike my mother, their crying was a lot more subtle.

My grandmother was currently sitting up on her bed, looking toward both of them with a happy flicker of the soul flame while at the same time, my father looked towards all of them with the same feeling, but his feelings were muddled up by another feeling as if his emotions were being laced by anger, sadness and something else that I had never seen before.

On his arm, he held up a little girl that looked like she was barely 3 years old, yet unlike me, she was not fluent in the language and could not use magic straight away.

'My standards for children are way too high' I chuckled inwardly, yet for some reason, the chuckle felt dry and emotionless, exactly like how I was feeling at the moment.

[You should go and talk to them]

'Nah...' I sighed with a mixture of relief and sorrow.

[You will feel a lot better if you see them now.]

'Or I might feel a lot worse if I meet them now... Plus, I have a feeling that we would meet soon.' I slowly averted my attention and looked at both Olivia and June who were standing above my grandma in the corner of the tent, not wanting to interact with any of them any further than she already did.

'Olivia... Let's go' I opened my mind link up, yet all that returned was static as if something was blocking our connection.

[The tent does not allow communication. One has to get out of the room to call anyone.]

Sighing for the umpteenth time, I squinted my eyes and activated my eye eyes of vanity and targeted Olivia, yet even then I still felt like my mana could not get through the tent, making me squint my eyes even further.

[If you don't wanna go in, just use the illusory eyes thing that you do all the time] Hela suggested causing me to step back and raise a brow.

'Illusory eye thing?' I asked with confusion written all over my face.

[Oh wait, you don't know about do you...]

'Know about what?' I exclaimed unwilling to believe that Hela would keep something that sounded so useful away from me.

[*SIGH* Okay look... Just look at them the same way you would look at someone who was a few miles away.]

'What?'

[Just do it]

After hearing her words, I finally chose to try what she was telling me to do and looked at them with my divine eyes activated and my pupils surrounded by spinning 3D stars of David.

I only had to strain my eyes a little further until I finally felt something.

In a single moment, a portion of my mana had been drained, something that I had thought was normal until now due to me having always used this ability from far away and had already concluded that I must have used that mana to see such far distances.

At this moment, I felt like my gut instincts were telling me to close my eyes which I immediately did just to find myself inside the tent I had been eying from a far distance this whole time

'What the fu-'

[Congratulations!]

[You have learned to manually activate clairvoyance's ability: Omniscient Eye]

At the same time as the message popped up in front of me, everyone in the room looked in my direction or in particular, towards the direction where I had seemingly appeared rather than looking towards my real body.

'I could do this the entire time and you didn't tell me?'

[I thought that you would be intelligent enough to figure it out yourself]

'You can read my mind!'

[Oh yeah, I can haha]

I could feel a nerve bulging on my forehead but instead of getting even angrier, I took a breath in and let one out knowing that this was not the time for me to get angry.

I swiftly darted my eyes towards Olivia and June giving them a signal before finally disappearing and appearing back in my real body.

Unlike all the other times I had used the skill instinctively, this time I felt a piercing headache hit me like a bullet to the head.

Gritting my teeth, I held on and shook my head just to have the headache grow worse due to it.

[Wait 10 seconds, it should go away]

I took her advice and did so, and just like she had stated, the headache disappeared like it was never there.

Not questioning her knowledge any further, I simply looked towards the tent again where I saw both of them beginning to move towards the exit.

"You two are with my granddaughter, am I correct?" Xela asked the two who were trying to get out of the tent as quickly as possible,

They had already grown familiar with my illusory eyes that would appear every now and then whenever I watched them from afar, and so they knew that I was coming towards them when they saw it once again, prompting them to try and leave the tent to either call me or in Olivia's case, open the mind link between the two of us.

"We do not know who you are talking about" Olivia replied stoically while hurrying June out of the tent.

"You guys are leaving because of those illusory eyes, right? Did Pandora do that to give you a signal?" She asked, this time getting a reaction from June who did not know of my situation.

"You know Pandora?" June asked, this time a lot more curious than before, yet at the same time confused as to why Olivia was trying to get them both out even though the people in the tent were basically my family.

"You know her? Where is she? Is she okay? She's alive, right? She's doing fine, right?" My mother asked, not only surprising June with her words but also causing Olivia to narrow her eyes at my mother, a glint of suspicion and disgust flashing in her irises.

"Again, we do not know anything about what you are talking about" Olivia replied coldly as she shoved June outside the tent, just for her to be stopped by my father.

"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 outside of the army had seen
