《The Spark of Balance: The Realm of Mianite (Book 1)》Ch25- Lord?
Advertisement
Jordan POV-
The world couldn't believe what had happened. They all watched powerless and Claire was tortured, none of them thought she would make it out of there.
Groups of people gathered and prayed to Ianite to save her, most of them now knew why Ianite couldnt help. She was trapped just as Claire was.
Stefan stood in front of that screen throughout the whole thing. He believed this was just a nightmare, tried to convince himself that it wasnt real, he did his best to help ease some of the worry by helping with the machine. They thought she would be there for days until Tucker and Sonja could find her.
Him and the world couldnt be more wrong.
They all saw how she escaped with ease, her brilliant mind got her through it when all the odds were against her. She earned much respect from people here, most feminist organizations now used her as an example to follow, not just them, but the world. She was portrayed as the image of female power since.
After her escape when she was making her way to Tucker and Sonja the world got something it wasnt expecting. The appearance of the first god, Dianite. He was much scarier than anticipated, his bright red skin, devilish eyes, and giant horns attacked to his head created the image of true evil. It sent a strange feeling of dejavú, he was a lot more scary than he was in Minecraft.
When Claire hugged him, the world became alarmed. Had she joined the god of evil, did she have a relationship with him? Those questions swirled through Jordan's mind. He had once thought of joining his side when he played in the world of Mianite, that is until his goddess came into play.
But her, his image of good and brilliance at the hands of Dianite, something about that thought brought discomfort to Jordan. Millions of thoughts crossed his mind as he saw the hug that seemed to last years. Is she not following his lady?
Later on once the incident was cleared up he couldnt let go of that thought. Something about Dianite caused so much doubt on her, at least she clearly had no interest to join his side for now.
Jordan hadn't recorded any videos these past few days because of the situation Claire had been in, he had spent his time here at the lab with Stefan, who was clearly not happy with his presence.
What was with that guy? He was always so cold towards him, no matter what he did to help Stefan he just didnt change his opinion on him. Sometimes he wondered if he had a crush on her, but being able to catch that sort of stuff wasnt his strong suit. He had always been very gullible to that sort of stuff, all his friends always made fund of Jordan because of that.

What would Claire think of him? If she were to come back, she would be amongst the most famous people on earth. Could they be friends? Based on what he knows about her, she seems like a really cool person, they clearly had many things in common so being friends shouldn't be too hard.
"Jordan stop daydreaming and help me move the screen, make yourself useful while youre here" Stefan said.
"Yeah sure" said Jordan happily.
"What were you contemplating on, your lady?"
Time for Jordan to test his hypothesis, if he was gonna spend all this time here, he might as well know more about this dude.
"Not in the sense that you are thinking of, I was actually thinking of Claire"
"What do you mean!"
"I was just wondering how she might feel about me" Jordan wanted to get info out of this guy, but he was a horrible liar, might as well use the truth to his advantage.
"Probably wouldn't care."
"You think? Her and i have a lot in common, its funny, i thought of the same plan as she did when she was planning her escape, we must really think alike"
"So what? Who knows how she will change in her time there"
"You think she will change?"
"Its highly likely. She is dealing with monsters, magic, and gods, not exactly things humans are a costumed to"
"Then I will be here to help her when she comes back, its the least i can do"
"Why do you care so much!?
"Why wouldn't I? Everyone does, she has been placed in a position in which no one could deal with, unlike you, I believe she will change for the better. She helps her friends and protects those she cares for..."
"What!? Well that's odd"
"No its not. She is.."
"Not that, Claire just referred to Lady Ianite as Lord Ianite, I thought you guys said Ianite was a goddess?"
"She is, let me see"
Jordan got close to the screen and began listening to the conversation that she was having with the priest. Sure enough they both referred to Lady Ianite and as a he, it seemed that the world also caught on to that, Jordan's phone was buzzing with the news.
"That doesn't make sense, why would Ianite be a guy?"
Could it be that his lady was a guy in this world? After all she was referred to as Jordan Sparkles and she was a girl. But would that change things? Maybe he is not at all like his lady, but regardless he would still be the god of balance. Right?

"What could this mean? I understand that not everything is going the way we played, but could this change things drastically in any way? Who knows what this god is like, though...it seems as though she knows him" said Jordan calmly.
"Could be, as far as I understand she has been there for quite a while before the machine came into play. Maybe they are just confused... what? Worried you won't get to date Lady Ianite?"
Why was he being da rude? This wasn't about him, yes he cared a lot about her, but that thought never crossed his mind. She was in another world after all. This guy needs to calm down..
" You're the one who should be worried actually. Think about it, me and m'lady has a very good relationship, we were very close. Imagine how close her and Lord Ianite will be since he is a guy.."
Jordan didn't do this with the intention of being mean, the words just sort of came out. He has never wanted to bring pain to anyone, but judging by the look on Stefan's eyes, he had hit a nerve. Looks like the thought was now sinking in for him, perhaps he did like her. If he did, Jordan just did the worst thing in the world.
" She wouldn't fall for a god. Besides how can a relationship with a god and a human ever work? Those are two different worlds, that would never be allowed...she just worships him as any religious follower would!" Said Stefan.
Stefan left to work with the machines, clearly still being haunted by Jordan's words. Jordan took out his phone and dialed Sonja's number. Although they didn't do streams together anymore, the Mianite gang was closer together than ever. They called and texted each other everyday and mostly talked about the recent Mianite events.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sonja how are you doing?"said Jordan.
"Good, I'm actually at lunch with Tom, wanna say hi to Jordan?..."
"Hello Sprakly pants, sorry I played part in torturing your other self by my other self"said Tom with his strong British accent.
"Very funny Tom. Did you guys see Dianite? And the talk about Ianite?"
"Yeah it was epic, I got to see me god. Team Dianite forever! Its funny, my god was hitting on your other self. Hahaha" said Tom loudly.
" Tom! Of course he didn't!"
"Hey Jordan? What do you think about Ianite being a man? That's different..."said Sonja
"I think it doesn't matter much, as long as Ianite helps Claire get through this it should be the same."
"More like her helping him! Remember how WE had to rescue Ianite all those years ago. Now Claire will have to rescue him, wait! Does that mean that other Tom will kill our God again. Nooooooo!!!!"said Tom screaming like a maniac.
"Hahahaha I remember that, those were some good times."said Jordan smiling at all their memories playing Mianite.
"Hey then that also means that Capsize will die! Wait how does that work then, weren't you almost gonna marry her? So is this gonna be a lesbian thing for Claire?" Tom said jokingly.
"I dunno man, guess we will find out."
"Regardless, that poor girl went through some rough times, she almost died, she would have been trapped in the end for a while."said Sonja with a concerned tone.
" She did...wait what's wrong with my laptop, let me see, I'm getting a lot of messages. Hopefully Claire is ok!" Said Jordan rushing to his computer.
All the pop ups on his computer read "I need a loan". Oh my god!!! This again!
Then he heard Tom cracking up in the background screaming it to the world. Sonja was just dying in the background.
"Hey Sparkles! I need a loan!!! Hahaha remember that!" Said Tom
"This is bringing ack some good memories for us huh? I miss you guys." Said Jordan, and he meant it. It had been too long since they last hung out.
"Yeah! We do too. Oh, we' re about to eat! We will call you later!" Said Sonja.
They said their goodbyes and Jordan hung the phone. He was glad that Claire could experience her friendships in that world. One thing was for sure, she would never feel down or alone.
"Jordan! Its Miante! He's there!"said Stefan.
Well, today was just a day filled with gods. Jordan made his way back to the screen wonder what other things would be revealed.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?
