Thud!
Thud! Thud!
Heavy silence fell over the surroundings.
All eyes remained locked towards the sound as it grew closer and closer.
There was no panic in the room.
Everyone remained focused, alert, and ready to respond to anything outside of their expectations.
"Not yet. Remain calm. Not yet."
Despite the current situation, Catherine remained smiling. Her eyes were narrow, and her tone was serious, but despite it all, the smile never faded. It was perhaps such a smile that brought a sense of calm to the group as they all waited patiently for whatever was coming.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
It was extremely close now.
Everyone also started to feel it, the ground shaking as the 'presence' was now upon them.
And soon—
"Brace!!"
BANG!
