Chapter 2: The Great Disaster Of Teraldis
It was raining...
Raining...
And continuously raining...
It was probably the first time ever in human history that such rain had occurred.
The Sky was covered with dark clouds. It was thundering continuously.
It felt as if the sky was roaring as the sound was more than enough to make the earth tremble.
It seemed as if it was the last day of Earth, and probably was some sort of bad omen as believed by others.
The lightning was even striking the ground due to which a small place caught fire where there were many dried and dead trees left.
The fire started to spread rapidly even in the rain. It seemed as if all the logic was being defied at the specific moment.
The Sea was roaring too and its level was rising rapidly.

"Hold onto the ropes! Don't let them go!!!", shouted one of the pirates who seemed like the captain of the crew.
It was quite a large ship that was sailing in the sea while trying to fight the storm that had arisen.
It was indeed a Black day in which the history's strongest storm blew over the seas.
"Aye aye captain!", shouted two of the crew members while pulling the ropes with all of their might.
They were rather muscular and strongly built and probably that was why they have specified that work.
'Damn... why now...? The Sea was so calm... why all of a sudden...?', the captain was thinking while struggling from the rain.
Everyone knew that the sea was unpredictable. The captain knew too, but despite that, he was causing a fuss and raising questions.
He didn't have any sort of patch on his eyes nor was one of his legs cut. He was a perfectly fine man.
In fact, he was quite well built and was quite large too. His red hair seemed black amidst the darkness. He could easily take down a huge Shark with only one of his fists, but he had never encountered anything of such sort in 3 years.
A shark was just a small thing, in fact, there were other gigantic creatures out there that were ten times more ferocious than any shark.
He might have become rusty but his strength hadn't depleted by any means.
"Uh..."
There were a total of 450 members on the crew including the captain who was continuously struggling from the seawater that was splashing and the rain too. There were 3 ships in total that belonged to him.
Many of them had already drunk a lot of the seawater but were still standing firmly while trying to save the ship from getting drowned in the massive sea.
As far as he could see, it was completely dark and the only thing that was emitting light was the 'Crystallite' that they had which was engraved into the lanterns or lamps.
Crystallites are a form of crystals that are used as a light source during the nighttime. The fire was convenient but during rainy times, it was the crystallite that was useful. Though getting them was hard since they cost a lot of fortune.
"Damn... this Sea is not the only problem...", the captain was worried because of the other ships that didn't belong to him which were aiming for his head.
They too were troubled but even during these times, they were firing the cannons aimlessly.
'BAM'
"Argh!", one of the 3 ships that belonged to this man sank and now only 2 ships were left with 310 crew members in total.
Other crew members either died from the explosion or drowned in the storm.
"Fire back!!!", he gave the order since he couldn't possibly sit back and watch this happen.
'I can't believe this. Did all the misfortune of my life strike me today altogether?'
It was indeed unfortunate. He was literally one of the strongest pirates ever known whose influence spread throughout the west. He had more than 5,000 strong crew members!
But his ambitions were very little due to which most of them betrayed him.
As some of them started getting high ranks and rose in power, they started to become cunning and thus the mishap happened.
He was being chased from the west and was nearly at the center of all seas where all these unknown things were happening.
'BAM'
Another shot landed on one of his ships which sank immediately as it was already damaged from before.
'Damn...', he regretted his decision of trusting all of them.
"I will kill you bastards!!!", he personally went and started firing shots from the cannon, and since his aim was so accurate and thanks to the mysterious powers that he had, the ships were sinking one by one quite quickly and easily.
Since many of them feared him, they slowed down a bit. Some even took deviations and went towards the other areas.
They did whatever they could in order to stay away from the range of the ship in which this man was sailing.
"Sigh... it's good that they are cautious... if they find out that the ship is out of shots then...", he was saying this when suddenly he felt a sense of uneasiness.
He could hear all his crew members shouting.
He slowly turned his head back in order to see what was happening when he found 3 giant whirlpools that were practically touching the sky laid in front of them.
"Oh my God...", was the only thing that he could say.
Many more such whirlpools appeared out of nowhere and started to destroy the ships.
One by one all of them were disappearing but even right now this man hasn't given up.
He tried all necessary means and did everything in his powers but ultimately his efforts changed to nothing and his crew and ship too vanished along with him.
All the other ships that were chasing him and were part of the conspiracy, disappeared too and some cops or the police of the seas also ended up vanishing.
And this was the great disaster that would be remembered years after as the second disaster of Teraldis!
Yes, it was the second time when such a disaster had occurred and without a doubt, this left a bigger mark in history.
