Chapter 57

In the distant horizon, a faint line of grey appeared, resembling a massive shadow creeping closer. Gradually, that grey line grew more distinct, signaling an impending storm. As time passed, the grey mass converged into thick, heavy storm clouds that towered like black mountains in the sky, creating an oppressive atmosphere. Accompanying these clouds came a fierce gale. Like a ferocious beast, the howling wind swept across the earth, kicking up dust and leaves and throwing the entire world into chaos. The wind grew stronger and its roar louder, sounding like the angry bellow of nature itself. Following hard upon the wind came towering waves. The surging ocean crashed violently against the coastline, whipping up towering crests of foam. Churning wildly in the wind, the seawater formed massive whirlpools and undercurrents. Like a pack of frenzied giant beasts, the huge waves hammered relentlessly against the shore, letting out thunderous roars.
