《The Spark of Balance: The Realm of Mianite (Book 1)》Ch33- Nightmare
Advertisement
Stefan POV-
This had to all be some sort of nightmare.
That guy! Tom. He had been flirting with Claire non stop for a while. Jordan said that it was no big deal but he didn't understand how bad this was. I mean, he was playing her, that made him a bad person right?
Jordan's argument had been that they just slept in the sam bed, that he was overreacting.
The world was overreacting!
Social media, news cast stories, celebrity news, even fanfics we're going on about it non stop. People were literally obsessed with the idea of both of them being together. This was wrong, he was her responsibility, Tom really needed to back up.
If it were just him maybe Stefan could deal with it, but it wasn't. The world was raving about her and the Shadows, Miante, Ianite, and even Dianite! People actually placed bets for this kind of stuff. There were thousands of websites and accounts supporting their 'ships'.
The Shadows and Dianite were clearly evil, not to mention, they were also gods. They both would clearly end up hurting her! Was that even legal!
These topics had brought up much controversy in the world, could a human have a relationship with a god? Could she be with people not of this world?
Sure, Stefan may have strong objections to all of this but he was not over reacting! He was just sick and tired of hearing about this all the time. Of course she had free choice on who to be with, she just had to consider ALL her options.
Within a few weeks since her life was broadcasted she had become one of the most popular people on earth, people aspired to be like her, to look like her, and some even wanted to learn all about her. She had become one of the most desired women on earth (according to female magazines he definitely did not spend reading for information). Without even knowing it, the whole world loved her and wanted to be with her. She had so many choices, human choices.

"I think you're just jealous" said Jordan
"I am not, that would imply that i have feelings for her, which I do not" Stefan screamed
"Then why do you care, it's her life. Wether she dates a green skinned dude or a god should not concern you. If anything the only other people it should concern aside from her, are her parents. Which by the looks of it, they don't care, they just want her home" said Jordan as he took a bite of his protein bar.
"Why did you bring it up? Its as if you care about her"
"I do. But I'm not obsessed with her personal life as you are."
"The whole world is obsessed with it, she has no personal life anymore!"
"If it makes you feel any better, Sonja said that she doesn't seem to like any of them. She is a girl too so she knows how to tell this kind of stuff. Plus they are kinda best friends without knowing it"
"Seriously, how weird has this world gotten. We are having conversations about god's dating a human. Gods. It seems like we are all crazy"
"The whole world has changed ever since you sent her there. Change doesn't always have to be bad though, in the end, no one should stress about this since we have absolutely no control over it. As always, there is nothing we can do." Jordan said with a sad tone
"That's what kills me the most. She doesn't know she's making the wrong choices."
"I don't think she is, she is helping end a great evil to save a world she has grown to care for. If anything, she is better than any of us. Just think about it that way, she is an inspiration to people all over the world now."

"I heard you knew song by the way, the one you posted on your music channel."
"I've posted many lately, which one?"
"Claire. The one you made from scratch about her. All of your songs lately have been about her in some way. Why?"
"She inspires my music lately, her personality and story flow great in music. Maybe when she comes back she can listen to them, I really hope she likes them."
"And you say I'm emotional"
"You practically want to kill any guy who comes close to her. You are next level stuff dude."
Before Stefan could come up with another argument Jordan's friends arrived. It always sent chills up Stefan's spine when he looked at them, they looked just like the people in Miante with Claire.
The had come here often to spend time with Jordan and so they could all keep an eye out on Claire. Man, just looking at Tom right now made Stefan sick, how could he be so forward, even though it wasn't him....
Tom had spent this entire time making jokes about the whole thing, tweeting syndisparkles all day and making jokes about him technically being with Claire . He was doing all this while his double was sleeping with Claire and giving her damn lilies. Was this just a joke to both of them?
"You look like your head is about to combust on fire. Are you that jealous?" Asked Sonja
"What? Me? I'm not." Stefan answered. But was he jealous? He had been hearing that same fraise for weeks from different people. Could it be true that he had feelings for her?
"Wow, you have it bad. You really like her, ironic since you're the one who sent her away" said Tucker
"I'm just stressed! She is trying to pull the most dangerous undercover act with no help. This guy, the Shadows, he seems like bad news. You guys should know all about him then"
"He didn't exists when we played in Mianite, so we have no idea how this will play out. By the looks of it she is doing well so far, even I was convinced." Said Jordan
"Let's hope she can pull though, we have already seen her be tortured once, I don't want to see that again." Said Stefan coldly
Tom went over to his set up and placed a small salt shaker on his desk.
"What's this for?" He asked
"You're even more salty than Tucker during the purge. All hail the salt king Stefan" said Tom as he bowed jokingly. The others soon followed.
Stefan didn't hate them, they were actually knew how to have a good time. The only problem was that they didn't have as much stress as he did, so they never understood each other.
He might have started laughing, unable to keep it hidden any longer, but then they heard a loud scream coming from the speakers. It was a loud, terrified, girl scream.
Oh no. Claire.
They all rushed to the nearest screen in record time. If something had happened to Claire...

Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
