Are You Afraid? (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 12

Needless to say Jenkins left in a pissed mood after that. He told us he'd wait in the car then stormed off out of the library.

"Well that went better than I thought." Lyall noted.

"I thought he was going to start swinging." Nyx admitted.

"I wouldn't have killed the man." Iodite confessed. "I would have just forced him to his knees where he would listen to the rest of the conversation. I have no intention of hurting those who do not deserve it."

"If you're supposedly a god, then why haven't you stopped Agora?" I asked.

"Because I am not a god, I am a Zealot. We were created by Ragnarock to uphold balance. The other races call us Peace Keepers, but that's not entirely what we do. We maintain the balance between chaos and order, which means we never truly take a side."

"There must be Zealots who act on their own wills?" Nyx questioned.

"But of course." Iodite nodded. "There is one serving the Nightshades at the moment. Since Zealots are so powerful, they can write their own destinies if they so desire. Their only limit is our incapability of evil."

"So there are no bad Zealots?"

"No. Their souls lose their connection to Ragnarock if they choose an all evil path for the sake of selfishness."

"But you said you maintain the balance. Doesn't that mean you have to help the bad guys some times?" Nyx asked.

"Indeed. But that doesn't make me evil. I'm simply performing my role as a Zealot." She explained.

"I see." I sighed. "Then can you help us? Or are you helping Dom?"

"I have yet to intervene." Iodite explained. "Dominique is slaughtering more humans than necessary, and the scales of balance have greatly shifted in her favor, but I cannot interfere on a level you would like."

"You can't help us yourself, but you can do something to help us indirectly." Nyx observed.

"Indeed." Iodite nodded. "In this case, I can point you in the right direction."

"You can tell us where to go?" I questioned.

"I'll give you two pieces of information. The first, is that Merlin's tree lies just outside of Yeager in The Realm of Vampires within Exodious. The second, is that Dominique is partnered with another pack of werewolves, and another vampire who can shape shift." Iodite explained.

"That explains why I'm being framed." Nyx shrugged.

"The three of you have a exciting quest on your hands don't you?" Iodite smiled softly. "I wish you luck on your task."

"Thank you." I bowed respectively noticing Nyx and Lyall did the same. "Enjoy your books."

"I always do. If you need anything else, I'll always be here." Iodite explained before going back to her books as we turned and headed to the entrance.

I sneezed into a tissue.

It had been pouring rain, so I was soaked to my core just on the sixty second sprint to the car. There was nothing to warm me up till we got home, so instead I was frozen and not happy about it.

Jenkins went home after Lyall explained what had happened. She then went to the kitchen and make chicken soup, because Nyx asked her to since she didn't trust herself to cook.

Who knew you had to be able to taste your food to know if it was good or not.

Either that or she was just a shit cook.
