Rise of Calamity: Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Anya once again lifted his head, being back in the temple again. The energy in the air had not ceased, and movement was no easier. Yet he stood once more and looked around. The landscape was eerily quiet, yet loud at the same time. He saw a mural upon a wall, a wall that had once been empty. Six circles, all encircled and intertwined, of different colors. Emerald green, sapphire blue, dark crimson, ash brown, vivid orange, and a deep violet. These circles on the mural all seemed to intertwine and interact with one another, yet none stood out to him like the green circle did. It had that eerie sense of familiarity that Anya despised. But after a second, the violet circle began to leak a dark liquid. It crept down the mural, drowning out the other colors, leaving only a hollow grey. Cracks followed the liquid's path, leaking more of the mysterious liquid as they formed. As it reached the floor, the substance seemed to crawl towards him. He tried to move and resist, to escape the oncoming storm. Yet the liquid kept filling the room until it nearly covered his eyes, and when he was fully submerged, he woke up.
