The Rise Of Calamity

When my grandmother heard what he had said, she was about to hit him on the head for being stupid but after feeling too weak to move a muscle and realizing that the reason he might be so stupid might be because she hit him in the head too many times, she gave up on her efforts and simply told herself that he would learn from his mistakes.

On my side, however, I simply looked at him like he was stupid.

Without saying anything, I avoided the tantruming child in front of me and walked over to my grandma, something he tried to stop with an icicle that he had formed and aimed towards my head.

"Zarch..." I muttered while not even bothering to look around.

I felt bored

'I could have sworn that this was supposed to be a lot more exciting' I touched my chin while constantly turning the icicles aimed at me into the water by forcefully taking over them and removing the winning attribute.

[You haven't shown your face yet]

'Oh crap, I didn't!'

And with that thought, I slowly lifted the mask off my face, showing everyone who I was without having to actually spell it out for them.

*Gasp*

While everyone else might have known who I was from looking at my mask, my brother was clearly in the loss of a few brain cells or too in shock after the battle to realize that I was his sister.

Zarch simply looked at me with a blank expression that I had bottled up to simply being the shock of realizing how much I had changed and how much stronger I was than him at this current moment.

His eyes, however, seemed to have dimmed down after being dazed for almost half a minute, and even though I was worried that he might have lost too many brain cells and been in shock, I was thoroughly proven wrong by what he said next.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN SEDUCE ME INTO FORGETTING WHO YOU TRULY ARE!"

*Smack*

'Ugh! I'm not into men' I inwardly sneered in disgust

The sound of multiple facepalms rang out throughout the room, one of them coming for me who had slapped my own face exceptionally hard on accident.

"SHE IS YOUR SISTER DUMBASS!" My grandma shouted out from her bed in both disgust and exasperation at how stupid he had become

'Oh yeah, that too...' I rubbed the back of my neck with an aloof expression

[You forgot that he was your brother?!]

I felt the increasingly prominent feeling of wanting to strangle me radiate off Hela as if she actually had a body she would have probably strangled me in the middle of everyone's gazes.

'N-no...'

[THE QUESTION WAS RHETORICAL! I CAN READ YOUR F*CKING MIND!]

'Why are you censoring your errors in speech young lady'

[DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!]

'Okay Okay! Look! I lived in my old body for so long that its lifestyle kinda imprinted itself into my soul. Even though I'd like to think I love my family in this world, I simply don't feel the same connection I felt with my mother back on earth, or even my father before I had cut all my connections to him by shooting him through the skull... I think... Did I shoot him through the skull?'

[I feel like shooting YOU through the skull!]

'HEY! What the fuck did I do to deserve this!'

[ugh...]

'... Bitch'

[F*ck you]

"Wait! How can you be Pandora... You are so much taller than me... and you killed people so easily! My sister doesn't kill things so easily! You are not my sister!" I could feel that Zarch was in denial, but honestly, I could not care less if he believed me or not.

We might have been siblings, and while we were on the brink of creating a bond, my mother... I shattered my bond with the raven family and understood that more than ever after becoming an adventurer.

"Stop being stupid Zarch. You were supposed to be the more intelligent of the two" I pushed him aside and walked over to my grandmother, analyzing her current state with my divine eyes.

"Don't you dare! My brother is a better sibling than you would have ever been! My new sister is so much better than you and my mother wouldn't be so sad all the time if you didn't try to act cool in front of her and dad by leaving the family! Why didn't you just get married? Why did you have to drag our family name through the mud? You could have gotten engaged but no! Now MY parents fight all the time about you and no one gets along! Even Aroura had it hard now!"

"Oh yeah?  I would be like her if I tried to stay." Shrugged and stood above Xela before looking down at her intently, this time finding the problems and how to fix them within a split second, not allowing me to hear any more of Zarch's bullshit.

"OH YEAH YOU SELFISH LITTLE FUCKING SHIT! You act like you all that! You act like you are almight you aren't! The only thing about you that is unique is that you don't give a shit about the family and will never again! Aroura would have not done something like this to you! She wouldn't have left like that! And yet till this day, after everything you had done to us, she is so brainwashed into your shit that she still believes that you are in the! She and Dad, both brainwashed dumbasses who don't know what the fuck they are talking about" Zarch carried on to say other things that would have made me slap him if I was listening, but fortunately for him, I was not the one to slap him and instead, Throid had come to save his life by hitting him in the gut, knocking him out cold.

"He deserved that" Throid muttered before looking towards me.

"But he isn't wrong. Not only did you leave the family, but you also left the forest without telling people where you were. You are being irresponsible and you know that."

When Throid finished his sentence, everyone looked at me with narrowed eyes, as I finally got out of my dazed state where my mind was filled with ways I could fix up my grandma in no time, or at least stabilize her for now so Clara could fix her up through the spell she was currently creating from countless other spells, something every cleric needs to learn so they could adapt to a situation where not all injuries are the same and they have to use a minimal amount of mana to save someone.

Before I would say anything else, I spoke a bit of gibberish while acting like I was creating hand signs instead of doing random gestures I remember from that anime called Loruto.

*ZING*

After a few moments of waiting, a white hue enveloped by a golden one shot towards Xela and went through her skin before directing itself towards all the broken parts of her.
