《The Spark of Balance: The Realm of Mianite (Book 1)》Ch28- The nether...

Claire POV-
The priest stood there quietly staring at his three new victims, one could say this was enjoying this way to much.
Jordan wasn't particularly happy that she would see three people burn in front of her, as much as she disliked them, no one deserved that pain. On the other hand, they kind of did deserve it.
"Why are we here! Let us go you filthy priest! Dianite will hear about this!" Said Josh.
"Actually this IS under Dianite's orders, the gods have decided to place judgement upon all of you. I'm afraid you god won't be able to save you since he is the one who put you here in the first place, along with your actions of course." Said the priest calmly
"What am I being charged with! I've done nothing! Tom should be the one who gets judged by the gods!" Said Josh furiously, this time actually kicking up dirt at all of us.
"He already did. Thomas, why don't you tell this mundane what it felt like to be punished by the gods. Maybe that will shut him up."he said.
Jordan couldn't help but laugh a bit, these were not the proper circumstances but she couldn't help it, specially when she turned to face Sonja and saw she was under the same predicament. Once they locked eyes, they both started covering up their mouths to hide the laughter.
One thing Jordan noticed was that Nade was very quiet, he wasn't like the Modesteps that were full of rage, instead he looked scared...
"Even our own god punished us...what has this world come to" said Nade.
"Since you are so excited you should be the one to go first Josh" said Dianite
No one saw him come, everyone was surprised to see the god of the nether just stroll by, under the light of the night he looked even scarier than usual. He stood next to Tom for a second, smiled, and teleported up to where the priest was.

No one knew what to do, it got so quiet that the only source of sound was the crackling fire. Looks like she wasn't the only one afraid of Dianite after all, she did her best to not make eye contact with him, last time they saw each other he dropped her 50 feet over the ocean....
Instead, Jordan focused on the priceless expressions of the three victims, they did not look happy whatsoever. She wasn't aware that they too were afraid of their god, Josh even managed to shut up. The question now was, how come he didn't show up to their trial? Was there something wrong? She was sure that Dianite would have loved to see her drown in person.
Now that she thought about it, the gods decided her fate... the priest said that they had changed their mind, was it because of Dianite? Had he condemned her to death and the only reason she was spared was because of Miante? Now that she actually thought about it, was Ianite part of the judgement as well?
Whatever the case she no longer had time to get lost in her thoughts, Josh was teleported up to the tank. Jordan saw that he was acting differently now that Dianite was here, she had expected him to be kicking the glass trying to brake free. He was just standing there with a grim look on his face as he turned over to Dianite.
"Lord Dianite, I thought you would be pleased with my performance. I captured an Ianitee just for you, and for revenge! I followed you example, but I will except your judgement.." Josh said.
Dianite smiled and leaned over to whisper something at the priest. The priest nodded his head and began chanting his spell. Josh's surrender seemed genuine, she though perhaps Josh had convinced Dianite to spare him with his pity speech. She couldn't have been more wrong.
Lava appeared at the tank and all Jordan could hear was Josh's screams. When she could bare to look at the tank anymore she turned to Dianite who happened to be looking straight at her, smiling with satisfaction.

She grinned at him. How could someone enjoy this? This was his own follower after all, he should feel some sort of pity, if he did, he wasn't showing it.
"Next" said the priest after Josh spawned back home. He too looked expressionless. Is this what would happen after being here for years? Would she lose her sense of emotions?
Jordan found that aside from all of this she was still happy to see Justice being applied. Also having her friends around always made things more comical.
"Get reked Josh! That's what you get" said Jordan trying to regain her sense of humor.
Joining in to everyone's comments.
"He wasn't ready!!!!"said Tom after. He went over to where Jordan was, she didn't know what he was planning so she flinched when he put his arm around her shoulders.
"You have been avenged mate! Can we be besties again? We can get friendship bracelets and everything" Tom said jokingly, but his apology was genuine.
"Maybe in time. And I already have best friend jewelry with Sonja, sorry" she responded as she grabbed his hand that was over her shoulder. She may not forgive him fully but she wanted him to know that she accepted his apology.
"After that lovely apology... Nade you're next!" Said the priest.
Nade actually cried when the priest mentioned his name.
"Lord Dianite please don't do this! I have all my good stuff on me!"said Nade
"Then that is the punishment you shall recieve." Dianite said coldly.
"That's what you get for being a two faced during the war!" Said Tucker
"Besides half of that stuff is probably not even yours!" Said Sonja
The priest held out his hands once more and placed Nade in the Tank of Judgement. He had given back her tools a while back, she had no quarrel with him, aside from him truly being a two faced guy during the war. Still, right now he looked vulnerable, almost like a kid.
To no ones surprise, the lava showed up in the tank once more. This time Jordan used Tom's arm to cover her ears, Nade's screams were unbelievable. Once that was over and Nade spawned back at home, there was only one person left.
Tony seemed like he couldn't care less, he was still scared, but he had accepted his punishment as soon as he saw Josh burn.
"Go ahead I guess, burning me doesn't change what happened. Jordan was still tortured, people were still killed, stuff was still stolen. I'm convinced this is just so my lord can have some entertainment, if he wants to see me suffer, as his follower, I would gladly do it." Tony said.
The priest didn't seem moved by his speech anyways, he summoned his magic for the last time and did as he had done before. As soon as Tony re spawned, Dianite left. No one saw him leave, he may just be invisible anywhere around them. Not a pleasant though, but at least this was all over.
Everyone started getting ready to get back home when the priest called out to them.
"I have received a message from the dark lord"he said.
"Voldemort?" Jordan said in between chuckles, she was such a potter head. Everyone seem to notice this was an inside joke so they just dismissed it. She was gonna have to educate them on the ways of Harry Potter one day...
"Do not enter the nether. He's building" he said cautiously.
Of course that was the first thing on Tom's mind. He quickly ran over to the nether portal near the priest's house. Before anyone could stop him he had made it inside. Oh boy, what kind of trouble would he get into know....
