There's More To The Story | An alternate Mianite Season 2

Chapter 6 - A Message From Dianite

Still Tom's POV whoops ;)

I tried to shrug of the uneasy feeling I had in my stomach and focus on filling up the saucepan with water.

I could see the water around me splashing.

"Fish?"

I got up, leaving the saucepan on the banks of the lake, to look for a stick from the forest that could be used as a spear. We could do with some food.

"Tom."

I spun round. What? Who was that? How do they know my name? I walked back a few steps towards the lake.

"H-Hello?" I stuttered.

"Tom," the voice repeated.

I was shaking with fear. Who was speaking to me? Or what was speaking to me?

"Y-yes?" My throat was wrapped in a blanket of nerves, forcing me to stutter.

"Water."

"What?

"Water. In the water."

I unwillingly stepped up to the edge of the lake; beside the saucepan. I saw nothing in the water other than the few fish that gracefully glided through the water, not a care in the world. I wish I could say the same about myself.

There was a splash in the water.

"Huh?"

Another splash.

"What the-"

That's when it happened. That's when the lake trembled. The water splashed and rose up above me, like the tsunamis you see in movies. It towered over me like a skyscraper, ready to crash down on top of me at any moment. My legs froze. Unable to move, I screamed. A very high pitched and girly scream. But I screamed until I couldn't any more.

When the tower of water fell, instead of swallowing me whole, it fell gently back into the lake. Something wasn't right though. There was a blob of water standing up in front of me, on the edge of the lake. It floated up and down, stretching from side to side, as if it was trying to form something. It continued to shapeshift until it finally came to a rest. It was formed in a very familiar figure.

"Dianite?"

"Yes Tom, it is I."

"WH-what are you doing here?"

This wasn't good. For all I know, Dianite hates me for helping the others travel to Ianarea and restore Ianite. And killing him.

"I'm here for you, Tom," Dianite says with a serious tone.

No, no, no, no, no. This cannot be good. I kneel down and bow to the watery outline of my God floating upon the lake.

"Tom," he started. "I have an order for you."

"Anything m'lord."

"I need you to kill Ianite."
WHAT? He wants me to kill Ianite? I know he hates her but, how am I supposed to kill her? Especially when the others are here to try and revive her. If I kill her I get killed!
"WH-what?" I say out loud.

"I need you to kill Ianite."

"H-How am I supposed to do that? The others are all here trying to revive her!"

"Tom, you've met a lady here already, right?"

How did he know that?

"Yes."

"Well, she is one of my followers. She was one of my followers. She used to follow Ianite but I always knew she wasn't quite happy. I killed her mother and father when she was young. I then began to terrorise her at any time in the day. I would turn into a spirit and follow her around, whispering the occasional thing into her ear. I told her bad things about Ianite. I told her Ianite was the reason for her parents' death and that she wasn't there to admit it because I had taken her heart as a punishment. She believed every word of it. Eventually, I drained some of my powers to give to her. I ordered her to destroy Fracti Regnum, the town that your 'friends' are currently in. She did as she was told, taking out all her built up anger on the town. But she didn't stop there. She tried to destroy Ianite's temple, but I had to stop her. I knew that you and the others were going to her temple to revive her, that's where I planned on killing the ones named Firefox and Jeriicho."

"What about Sparklez?" I interrupted.

"Next time, think twice about butting in."

"I-I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, kid. I was only joking with you."

What? Why was he being nice? He is the God of mischief and chaos after all.

"I knew Ianite would be too weak to fulfil her duty as a God," he continued. "So I planned to covert Sparkly boi to Team Dianite. Anyway, back to this woman. After she went on a bit of a killing spree, I had to drain her powers. In doing this, she began to grow older, weaker and I began to gain most of my powers back. That was until I had to separate the town and surrounding land from the mainland in Ianarea. This used up most of my remaining power. I was weaker than ever but you, Sparklez, Jeriicho and Foxx had arrived earlier than anticipated leaving me to rush off and watch what you were doing."

His face suddenly looked sad. Like he was upset. This emotion swiftly turned into anger.

"I was stupid!" he exclaimed. "I was too weak, I should've sent someone to watch you instead. I was stupid!" He held such fury in his voice that it seemed like a completely different person had taken over his body than the person, I mean God, who was joking with me ten minutes ago.

"I was so weak that you were able to kill me. You. A mere mortal with a sword."

I felt like I'd just been stabbed in the heart repeatedly with a sword drenched in acid. Is this what he thinks of me? Just 'a mere mortal with a sword'? After all I'd done for him. I'd stuck by him from the very beginning. I'd fought for him, I'd died for him. And he didn't even seem to care.

"Is that really what you think of me?" I whispered, almost so quiet that I couldn't hear myself say it. I fought back against the tears I could feel pinching my eyes, and swallowed the frog in my throat.

Dianite didn't respond, but his see-through outline stared into my eyes with regret.

"No." He said. "No, that's not what I think of you. You are my champion. And you killed me. You killed a God." He continued to look at me but no longer with regret as a smirk grew across his watery face.

"You are Mecha-Dianite."
