The dark clouds is still approaching from the horizon and it brings a bad premonition for those who sees it, but the islands have appeared to be in a state of lull. No wild animals can be seen to roam around the land .The sea monsters have retreated back to the sea and the land monsters have hidden back to their lair.
The people on the other hand is in a state of extreme vigilance. The hunters have already retreated back to each of their stations except for some scouts to monitor the situations, but every person on the feels like there are knives that are being hold up their neck.
Extreme sense of impending doom covered the territory of the defense line , but still they go do their work quietly.
Dug dug!
No sound can heard except the heavy beatings of the heart and the sound of tools doing their work
The S rank hunters are on the meeting room of the building again, as they have more acute senses so they feel the impending disaster more clearly, it's almost palpable.
The leader is sitting on the center most chair on the round table , while one of the S rank hunter , the whale , is explaining what her crew have found on their investigation.
" We search all the periphery of the territory , we dive down the water to look for clues , but there are no sign of any behemoth class monsters. The only strange thing we found are the monster that retreated back to the sea. We follow some of them using some cloaking magic and observe the from afar using far seeing abilities , and we found out that they all converging here" she said while pointing on the part of the map that is a few kilometers to the north from the defense line territory .
" The other station reported the same phenomenon have happened their islands too" stated the S rank hunter with the codename of Wolf. After this a short silence was form while they wait to the response from the Owl .
" A premonition of an impending disaster have been shown to by the stars" started the Owl" The storm on the horizon , may bring about the destruction of all the islands on the defense line" He said in a slow and concise fashion" I know that some of you feel fear right now "he said while looking at each of the high officers of the station " but the only thing we can do now is fight back , for if we don't this disaster will reach the southern territory and bring death to our family and friends"
" The owl is right" said the Lion , in heavy tone " We decided to face the Abyss with a conviction to die trying to protect the people , now is the time to fullfil that convictions" ,
" Haa.. the people back on the mainland may not know who are or why we fight here " stated by one of the five with the code name Hawk.
"Does it matter?" said the Owl" Many might not remember us after this , but I will bring the memory of you my comrades with me to the underworld".
" Prepare evacuation and inform all hunters to prepare for war" he commanded " a storm is coming , but it not topple us without a fight"

I don't know how , but I reach my house unknowingly. I stand in the front for a few second before opening the door. My head I heavy and my thinking is cloudy, it must be the effect of the alcohol. I enter the house and put Al my bought goods on the cabinet on the kitchen, and then I go straight to bed . My head is rarely heavy and I can't think straight so I close my eyes to get some sleep.
My mind drift to a foggy field and my consciousness cease.

Boom! Bang!
With a exploding sound of thunder I was woken up, I sit up drenched in sweat. I stand up beside my bed , my hand are shaking so do my leg, my breathing is heavy and my heart beats like a drum.
I seem to have experience a nightmare , but my memory is blurry. So I walk out the balcony to breath some fresh air.
The sky is already dark and strong winds are starting to form. Lightning and thunder flash and explode whit-in the thick dark clouds , " It's close.." I seem to mumbled involuntarily.
