Hell, Peace, and Life

Chapter 5

[I wanted to say this before hand to clear some confusion.The past chapters are technically  in the past and I want to skip to the juicy parts so I will make a little back story and then jump right in! Check the note at the end of the chapter!]

A month earlier

You wonder why your gods are dwindling .You wonder why they are so scared. Because I am their fear. I am The Shadows. I am Death. NO ONE CAN STOP ME! Tom! Tucker! Jordan! Be prepared to worship me! If not, the consequences will be unbearable!

Preset day (Jordan's POV)

"Everyone, please meet me near my house. You will see an obsidian structure." The priest anounced.

We all met there and there were obsidian totem poles and a glass/obsidian tank floating 4 blocks in the air.

"This is the Tank of Judgement. Mianite wanted me to do this for the sake of Ianite. Due to all of the violence, Ianite is getting sick, So I am here to deside your fate."

Tucker is sent into the tank first. The Priest rambled  a little and Tucker was soon underwater drowning. With two hearts left, the water stoped. He didn't die.

Then it was Tom's  turn. He too was put underwater, but he died. (This is technically a videogame irl so he respawns so don't  fret!)

When it was Sonja's  turn, she got a different responce."Sonja, you have been nice to the land, but you have missed one thing. Where is your gift to me as your Priest?". She started to drown and made it to 1 heart.

And then, I was the next victim. The drowning was unbearable. It suddenly stopped. "The gods have changed there mind, intresting."I processed the Priest's information. They wanted to kill me? I did nothing but balance peace....or I thought anyway.

"The gods ask of one thing; Peace. No violence is tolerated until further notice. There is only one day you may kill and steal; Saturday. We call this Purge Day. If you are to steal or kill during the week, death and worst will haunt you back."

The was a sign that had the remaining people to be judged and it read;

MODESTEPS

NADESHOT

THE SHADOW

"Who is The Shadow?"(don't  mistake for the shadows from earlier. This is the new character) We all said in unison, but the Priest had yet again disappeared.

*_-*_-Ianite's POV-_*-_*

The war. Ashes. The death. It sickens me. I can't do anything about this. Dianite is so cruel. How can he lock up his sanguine sister? I am sick of his doings and The Shadows mischief  around my brother Mianite's grounds. I have tried so hard to help Jordan  with the Purge, but he kills his own allies. He is so ignorant. He watched Sonja die in front of him. For I, the goddess of peace, dislike these actions. I am sick from my only hope; Tucker, Sonja, and Jordan. The Priest isn't any better. He addresses the problem, but doesn't  fix it.

My dress, the purple one with golden accessories, is now tattered from Cronos. (The Shadows's right hand man) How dare he use my own weapons against me? For the Bow of Ianite is not a weapon to be handled by anyone. Jordan, how irresponsible. How can you give Cronos, your enemy, the only hope I can give you, the only thing left me? Mianite, I have a message to you; without me, your people have no hope in living against The Shadows.

Days and nights have passed in this pixelated world. I almost think Dianite captured me for my own good. In reality, I would have died eons ago from the Purge, but I didn't. I haven't died because of him taking my heart. Maybe he wasn't the underworld devil I thought he was. I have also noticed how Tom, Tucker, Sonja, and Jordan have gotten along between Purges. I almost feel sorry for Tom. He is alone. Nadeshot left him for The Shadows. At least Jordan has Tucker and Sonja, whereas Tom doesn't. The Modestep's are never there for him. I hate these secrets that these children hide from there own allies.

Champwan. Ah Champwan. He is an "underdog" you could say. He never comes on ts (team speak), and he isn't very involved. His only purpose is to do orders commanded by the Priest. I don't think this is fair on his part. He murders and collects the riches. It disgusts me. There is no peace. There is never peace. If I show myself, I'll only die...this realm shall be destroyed by the end of the next Purge. If they somehow salvage it, they shall have no riches. No vault can preserve their ores and valubles.

---------

I am so lonely. I can't even comprehend what is happening around me. I can hear splash potions in the distance. Probably poision. Maybe invisibility. I don't like the noises either way. I hear the crackle of fire. Explosions. Tom freaking out. My gifts were not ment for destruction, but for self defence against hostile mobs. How dare Jordan kill Tom with my gift? If only I could talk to him. He needs me as much as I need him. I heard my daughter is alive. How could she be though? I couldn't teach her the meaning of  life. I didn't even get to say hi to her. But what if these rumors where true? Oh my Gods. I have to talk to someone to get me to her, to see if the rumors are true. "My daughter, Kairi, I shall come to you as soon as I can leave this treacherous hell."
