Chapter 27

Dianite's Pov

I watch as Mot sleeps, with the sword laid across his lap, on Mianite's couch. I'm supposed to be listening to whatever it is Tom is talking about but I just can't.

"Love has destroyed him." Tears start falling from my eyes. "No." I say harsh enough to get everyone's attention.

"I destroyed him." My voice is hardly a whisper. "Don't say that Dianite." Ianite says.

"He was so happy before his feelings for me started happening. Am I right Spark?" I wipe my tears but they're soon replaced.

"Well yes, but that doesn't mean you destroyed him. If anything these people have." Spark is only trying to make me feel better.

"I think I know what he was offered." Tom mumbles. "The one thing Mot wants more than anything is to be immortal. What if Dianite promised him immortality if...."

"If he sacrificed himself to Dianite." Mianite picks up with anger in his tone.

"Listen Dianite, my brother is in spirt form as you once were. You have to trust Mot choose to not be Dianite's little puppet. As for you mortals, get ready for a war. We all know Dianite is gonna come back, and he's gonna want a fight." Mianite pauses and looks to Ianite.

"I'm sorry sister. I know the violence hurts you but there's nothing we can do to prevent this." Mianite says. Spark leaves with Ianite, leaving just Tom, Mianite, sleeping Mot, and me.

"I killed him once but I don't think I can do it (JUST DO IT! sorry had to) again." Tom chokes out.

"Don't worry about that now. Don't tell Alyssa anythings going on ok. Now go on home." Tom takes Mianite's advice and leaves.

I go to pick up Mot but Mianite stops me. "Wait, you said something about Mot talking to you in his sleep. Let's see if it happens." I just nod.

My hands hurt. The burns won't seem to heal. Mianite tries to touch the sword but it instantly burns him.

"How'd he even do this?" Mianite asks.

"Same way I made The Price of Betrayal. Lots of hard work and patience." I notice Mot start to smile.

"Mot?"

"Shhh! He's having a good dream leave him be!" I whisper yell at Mianite.

"The one time....."

Mot's eyes flutter open and his smile widens when he sees me. "What?" I ask quietly.

"I'll tell you when we get home." I teleport us home. "Now tell me."

Mot sits me on the couch then sits himself on my lap. "It was the day you made me your champion. The day you chose me over all those other amazing business men." Mot pauses.

"Dia why did you choose me?" That's not the question he should be asking.

"Mot why wouldn't I choose you? You're amazing when it comes to problem solving and you've saved my life more times than I care to remember."

"Not the one time it mattered." Mot mumbles and I hold him tighter. "That was inevitable."

We sit in silence for a while. It's nice to just take a moment to calm down after everything that's happened in the past few days.

"Mot we talked about my immortality not meaning anything. I need you to not worry about that." I whisper tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

Mot still remains silent. It begins to rain heavily as it does a lot here. "Hey Dia." Mot whispers and turns so he's facing me.

"We're gonna be ok." I loose it.

Mot's Pov

Dia lays his head on my shoulder and sobs. This is all my fault. His sad-

"DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT AGAIN!" Dia shouts/sobs. "Calm down. Things will work themselves out. We're gonna be ok." I coo but this only seems to make him worse.

"Please don't." I beg as Dia continues to sob. "HOW CAN I NOT! EVERYTHING IS WRONG AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" I move off Dia's lap and wait for him to vent more.

"MY ALTERNATE WANTS A FUCKING WAR, WHICH COULD KILL IANITE, AND IT'S ALL OVER MY EXISTENCE!" Dia shouts then starts towards the stairs.

I follow and grab his hand before he gets to far. He jerks from me then proceeds to storm upstairs.

After hearing the door slam I allow myself to start crying. No one understands what I'm going through!

"DON'T THINK THAT!" Dia,who is suddenly in front of me again, shouts. I'm tired of this.

"WHY NOT! NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO AGE WHILE YOUR LOVED ONE DOESN'T! OR TO HAVE NOT ONE, BUT FOUR GODS AT YOUR THROAT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT IS BEYOND YOU!" I scream, not yell, scream. "I-I'm gonna take a walk."

Just before I exit Dia catches my wrist. "I can't home-bound you, but promise me no nether." Dia mumbles.

"I'll never go alone again." I say, creating a loophole in Dia's promise. With that he allows me to run off.

I'm not sure where I'm going, or why, but I just go.

3rd Person Pov

Mot ends up at the community farms. Luckily it's night so he doesn't get swarmed.

But there is a girl. She's got long straight black hair and permanent black eyes.

Mot isn't aware of her now but soon he will. Not only that he will know he's not alone. That there is another who knows and understands his struggles.
