《The Spark of Balance: The Realm of Mianite (Book 1)》Ch21- The Ianitee

Claire POV-
Everyone seemed asleep. The was no screaming, no sound of movement.
Plan b was already set up.
All she had to do was figure out a way to open the door. Luckily she knew just how to do that. She had a hair pin hidden inside her hair, when she had gone to the restroom she made sure to hide it deep within her hair. Now she would use it to break the lock on the door open.
After a few tries she got it open, she slowly opened it and peeked outside. Sure enough no one there. She grabbed on to the rope and headed out. As soon as she stepped outside of the room she saw Josh come out of the room at the very end of the right hallway.
Plan b it is
She quickly pulled the rope and heard the wooden slabs fall to the floor. Surely enough her predictions of there being a body of water above them were correct. The sound of water grew stronger as the second went by. Josh rushed over to her, but he was so far away that it gave her a head start.
The water was starting to pour out on the hallway, she never looked back, she ignored the screams for anger coming from behind her. She pushed as many things behind her to slow him down.
She hoped she was going the right way, if she made a wrong turn, it was over. Josh had a sword and armor, she had thousands of wounds. Jordan's odds weren't that great to begin with.
The sound of water came closer and closer, she heard other screams from far away. But kept running. As if blessed by the gods, she found some stairs heading up to what seemed like the surface. Without a doubt she ran up those stairs as fast as she could.

A few steps behind her was Josh, angry as could be. He was faster than she had expected, that or her wounds were just that bad that she ran really slow. Once she reached the top she quickly closed the door behind her. Luckily she had planned ahead, she jammed the rope at the bottom of the door so that it wouldn't be able to open.
Before running off, she saw Josh through the small holes of the door. She stopped, got close to the door, enough that he could see and hear her clearly.
"I told you that I would escape. Good luck cleaning up your place"
"How did you do it? You had nothing!"
"I had a rope and a hair pin, that was more than enough"
"But you're an Ianitee!!!!"
"Yeah have you ever wondered what that actually means? Its not that I'm all good, and never biased. It means I'm both like Mianite and Dianite, I have a bit of both, I'm their middle ground. I have the ability to do despicable things, to fight dirty, to destroy. I have the capability for darkness. I also have the ability to do good, help others, have compassion beyond compare. I can be a hero and a villain at the same time. I can bring balance, but I can also apply justice strongly. I have both good and evil, so watch your back, its best to have me as a friend than an enemy. How do you think Ianite can bring peace to both brothers, he understands both."
"What about your stuff! You have nothing!"
"Actually I do, thank you for leaving a chest outside my door with my stuff. I wouldn't have know it was there if you hadn't taken me to the restroom. Though Nade still owes me the tools he stole. Im gonna want those back!"

She waved her backpack and slowly turned away from him.
"Give Tom my regards"
With that she ran towards the forest. She needed to find a cave or a temporary place to hide until she figured out a way to get home.
She also needed to rest, she couldn't use the world communicator until her head got better, her focus just wasn't good enough. Then would she be able to call for help.
She ran as fast as she could until she found a cave behind a waterfall. After exploring the cave for any mobs, Jordan settled down. She went outside to get some wood to make a sword. After, she ran back inside and closed her eyes.
"Rest, finally"
After a few hours she should be able to figure out a plan to get back. For now she closed her eyes and relaxed for the first time in a long time.
Hm, maybe she was as good of a strategist as Tucker after all.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
