《The Spark of Balance: The Realm of Mianite (Book 1)》Ch49- Late night talk
Advertisement
Tom POV-
It was late at night, too late for anyone to be awake unless something was wrong.
Tom was sleeping just fine, he had a great day after all. A good purge day followed by gifts from his god and a temple to hail from, what more could a man ask for?
He was having some perfectly good dreams until he heard a noise coming from the front door of his house. Ever since the fake incident with the shadows he had decided to make sure he would be the first to know if someone was there with him. Tom had some pressure plates that would trigger a sound box near his bedstand that Jordan had actually set up a while back.
With that he would know if someone was inside, lucky for him he was also a light sleeper at times.
When Tom woke up, he quickly got his sword and quietly made his way behind a dresser near his stairs. If someone came up, they would get their head sliced off for sure.
Sure enough as the time went by, he heard steps slowly making their way up to his room. Tom wasn't scared at all surprisingly, in fact, he always loved to showcase his skills. If time had shown him anything, it was that he could win most confrontations with ease.
Once the person was upstairs, all Tom could see was their shadow. At least until a fireball appeared out of its hand, that's when he came out to greet his beloved god.
"Hello my lord, why are you here so late?" Tom asked as he bowed down to his god
Dianite turned on all the candles in the room and signaled Tom to put down his weapon.
"Why all the pressure plates around your home Thomas?" He said not even bothering to greet him back.

"Oh, Jordan actually installed those for me a while back. They are for safety" Tom answered
"Jordan huh, it's a clever contraption indeed. That's actually why I'm here, I have a few question for you Thomas and I expect your outmost honesty" he said coldly as he manifested a chair to sit on
Though Dianite hadn't mentioned if he could sit or not, Tom went over to the edge of his bed and sat facing his god nodding in agreement at his previous request.
It was odd that he would come in the middle of the night just to talk about Jordan, that just made him wonder if she had done sothing to him. In that case, Dianite would probably command him to kill her...
"I want to know what her connection is to Champwan" he said
"Champwan? I'm guessing she doesn't like him very much, he has been winning the purges lately. Plus nobody really talks to him my lord, specially her being new and all" Tom assured
"Then your information must either be outdated or incorrect. I just happened to see her sneaking back home with him this late at night. Unless they are planning a purge alliance I wish to know why they are together all of the sudden"
"Um, why does it matter?" Said Tom only to find that must have been a mistake, one really should question the gods...
"Because that is a dangerous combination Tom, both of them working together is unacceptable. I want that to stop at once you hear me" he said a tad louder than before
"Well, her and I are great friends, I could just ask her what's up. Though I wouldn't worry, Champwan doesn't get involved with god affairs, it would be nothing to worry about. Well, I'm gonna sleep over at her house tomorrow night, I could ask her then" Tom said

"Sleep there? Why is that?" Dianite asked, slightly changing his posture
"It's what we call movie night. We have been watching Harry Potter moving pictures at her house for a while. After the movies I just stay over with her" Tom said proudly
Tom actually really enjoyed hose nights they just got to spend time together. He got to learn so much about the fake wizards of her world and the people even spoke similarly to him! Plus it brought up many jokes between them that no one could understand, that was very special to him.
Jordan refers to them as movie nights or sleep overs, which was nice, but he prefer to call them wizard nights. It want until now that he questioned if Dianite would be ok with him hanging out with an Ianitee, by the look on his face he seemed somewhat disturbed. It didn't even make sense since he hung out with Mianitees all the time and it never seemed to bother him.
"Very well Thomas. Also, has she ever spoken of her fake god Ianite by any chance?" Dianite asked
Crap... if he said yes would that get her in trouble? According to Jordan, Dianite supposedly had her god locked up. But she had mentioned they had talked before, that day he gave him a heart attack.
"Well not exactly my lord, she dreamt of him...once. Though she didn't say much about it to anyone of course. All I know is that she said Miante got her a bracelet from Ianite, the one she always wears" he answered. That may not have been the whole truth but it sure as hell wasnt a lie
Diante got up for his chair and made it vanish before turning to face him.
"Well then, I guess that's that. She mentioned talk of a vault, what is that for?" He asked looking around the room this time
"It's to keep safe valuables, we are all building them. It was actually Jordan's idea my lord, most of the ideas for all these fancy contraptions come from her. Not a bad idea, I could use mine to keep your armor safe my lord" Tom insisted speaking with pride about his friends brilliant idea
"Good information Tom, seems you are very useful today after all. Lastly, has she said anything else about me aside from the claims of her god?" He asked, this time bringing his full attention to Tom's answer
"Nope. Aside from the fact that she can't stand you for some reason, I think she's just afraid of you like everyone else. Her home doesn't have a god of darkness roaming around, so her attitude is as expected"
"Don't worry about that Tom, soon she will be on our side. With her intellect and your recklessness, we will rid ourselves of the last obstacles standing in our way. Then both of you will rule beside me" he said with a fire in his eyes
Honestly, those kind talks both motivated him and scared him at the same time. He wanted to do his god proud and conquering the world seemed like a very devious act to do, but ending his friends was a little harder to get behind.
"Cool.... maybe Jordan and I can do so together! The most feared couple in all the world! After all, her and I make a great team and a great match." Tom said enthusiastically
Suddenly Dianite became enraged and just teleported out of his room without saying goodbye. It was not uncommon but it didn't make sense, though Tom did like the idea of the two of them in the same team, he just couldn't see her leaving his god. Regardless it was a nice thought to linger on.
