Demigods and Family (Mianite)

IV - Tom

4 - The Trustworth in a Dianitee

You know, sometimes you have to do crazy things. Well, that's what the Novus have to do. He has to trust a Dianitee for his life.

         The Novus swing his bow on his back with the quiver of arrows as well. I sensed the heavy magic around him, it feel weird. His aura was weird as well, but I haven't really mastered the art of Auras at all. So, I don't really know a whole a lot, because I don't usually listen to the Priest (Declan)'s lectures about the boring auras. Usually, Sonja is the only one who listens through the whole thing (but she does seem like she wants to pass out from the lecture though), Tucker would be passed out from the boring lecture. That's just Tucker being his Dianitee inner-self.

         There was a sudden silence between us, I can tell the Novus hates me or kind of like dislikes me. That's kind of bad, because of my so-called crush on him. But, you know. What is it called when your crush has a crush on you? Imagination, but still. I like in a world, where there's magic and hybrids. Seems like a 13-year old's imagination.

         I studied the Novus, as the Novus stared at the ground beneath my feet, kind of like he was lost in thoughts.

         The Novus stood a bit short, like really short. Kind of like 5'6, maybe shorter. Maybe 5'5 or 5'4. I don't know, but the Novus was short. This Novus' body-type is very 'petite'. He has thick-ish jet black hair that look smooth like silk. His eyes were hidden by his bright red-framed glasses, but all I gotten about his eyes, that they were a very cold colour. He wore a black one button blazer coat jacket, and it was unbuttoned (and he has a white muscle shirt underneath). The sleeves were scrunched up to mid-point of his arms, kind of like over his elbows. He wore black cargo pants in a form of like sweats, so he can probably run easily. And he wore black hiking boots, hiking boots are suppose to be heavily-weighted but it seem like the hiking boots are light-weighted because the Novus didn't look affected by the extra weight on his feet.

         He may be short, but he's very intimidated for a short one. He's kind of different compare to others, which is kind of cool. He's like a mixture of Dianite and Mianite, he has this sense that he can master any combat weapon even if it's his first time picking up the actual weapon for battle. And he has this 'goodie-two-shoes' vibe as well.

         "Novus, we need to go to your safe house. Get you set up with everything." I finally broken the silence, I crossed my arms (the Novus has his arms crossed as well) so I can seem a bit more intimidated than I usually am.

         "No." The Novus simply said.

         "Why not?" I asked.

        "I'm not moving until I get answers of everything."

        "If you want answers, you need to come with me."

        "Think of it, Thomas." The Novus hissed. "When you wake up frighten and have no memory of anything. Do you want to go with a zombie hybrid? I can take my own chances." I felt offended, when he called me a 'Zombie Hybrid' and he called me by my full name. Anger was building up, I tried to keep my cool. I was still trying to make a good impression of myself for the Novus, I was trying to prove that I'm fun and can be serious at the same time. But that's a little hard, if the Novus is made of 99% stubborn traits. I took a step forward and reached my hand out to take the Novus' wrist. The Novus flinched when I grabbed his wrist. Heat raised to my cheeks, I tried to handle my blush.

        "Novus, we need to go. We need to find out other stuff for you, like your own bunker or even your own ranking--" The Novus move his hand really quickly, and he manage to slip his hand away from me. Quickly, he slip his bow off his shoulder and grabbed an arrow from his quiver. And he pointed the bow at the ground, as he give a death stare.

        "Get away from me!" The Novus shouted, as he aimed the bow at me. I was kind of surprised, because no one can master Archery.

        "Novus, you must come with me."

        "I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU! I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY I AM HERE, I DON'T KNOW YOU AND I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD TRUST YOU YET!" The novus shouted at me. I took a step forward and the Novus pulled back the string of the bow; warning that he would not hesitate to let go of the bow. "I suggest you . . . Tom, to not get any closer. Now, I need answers! Why do I not remember anything? I don't even know my own name, my OWN name! Tom! TELL ME THE ANSWERS NOW!"

        "I don't know, either. Novus, I have been here for over 2 years. I still don't know my past or even my mother! I hardly know my last name either. Novus, just stay calm, okay? You'll get your name after this week, tomorrow you'll get a nickname. You'll find out your father, one of the major gods or one of the minor gods when you find out your real name. You can't really leave this place, you are here because of the Mianite gods. And you only come here, when you reach 18 without becoming dead, so you must be 18." I replied back to his answers, really calmly. I had to be calm, if it wasn't for my main goal (trying to impress the Novus) I would be freaking out and probably end up one of us killing each other. To be honest, the Novus looked younger than 18. But you know, some people mature faster than normal age. And some don't mature that quickly and lack. So, he could be 18. But anyways, he has to be 18.

        "How do I know if I should trust . . . a Dianitee?" The Novus pointed out, whoo! He got a huge point!

        "You got a point, Novus. But sometimes, you have to do crazy things just for your own life. Trusting a Dianitee is a huge risk, but you have to for your life right now. So, Novus. Are we ready to go see if we have any more spots to put you in the cabins? Or are you going to be a stubborn ass you are?"

        And with that, the Novus and I went to go check up with the cabins to see which one. The Novus remained quiet, and he would study everyone he comes across. Kind of like he was planning their deaths, but the Novus would give a smile in response when they tell him "Hey, new Novus! I'm [enter some names]!", kind of like the Novus would reply back with "Yep, that's me. The Idiotic Novus who has no fucking clue why I'm here."

        But there was a problem, something was wrong. Especially when my 2 step-brothers, Josh and Tony came across the Novus. They seemed nice toward him, probably trying to find an ally. And then there's my unclaimed buddy, Nade. He seemed to be really nice toward the Novus, something is very odd. I wonder what's up with them.
