Chapter 245: Backup Plan

Landing in front of the base, Lake walked in while waving to the guards. "Thanks for the new weapons." Lake gave them a thumbs up and a smile and went to find Wezz to let him know he had returned early. Lake found Wezz in a back room sitting on a bed. "Are you about to go to sleep?"

"No I was going to try and wait till you got back but it\'s been over a day already so I\'m having a hard time staying up." Lake understood a leader like Wezz who was prone to worrying was the type to think they were useful still if they didn\'t sleep. In reality it was better to get sleep whenever you could as long as there wasn\'t an active fight.

"Well I\'m going to be here for a while so go ahead and sleep. I will be here till you wake up because it\'s raining and the tunnel is flooded right now." Hearing this, Wezz fell back and laid down. Closing the door, Lake started to think about what he should do while he was here. He didn\'t think it was smart to go out and look for trouble so he needed to find a way to pass the time inside.

Walking into one of the rooms, Lake saw lots of people with books in their hands and decided it had been a while since he had had the time to read anything and that it would help pass the time. "Where can I get a book?"

"They are in those boxes over there." Walking over to where they had directed he found a few boxes with a couple of books at the bottom. Digging through he realized these books were stories from history and not something he would usually see in the libraries he was going through at the Alchemist guild.

These seemed more like casual reading to him opposed to the learning material he was used to but he was fine with learning more history even if it was just akin to rumors and legend. As he sat down and read the first few pages he was proven right about the content because it read like the fairytales of his world.

...

After the first few stairs of the Temple the man finally let them down to climb with their own feet. Tiff felt like he could have let them down sooner since the temple was in the middle of the city but it didn\'t really matter. Starting to climb the stairs the guards from the front door came down and relieved the man of his duty to protect them and he was gone in the next second.

He had another job to get back to so she wasn\'t surprised he left as soon as he could. It would have been nice if he had at least said bye but he was probably ready to wash his hands of the trouble they had brought him. The time they had had to dodge Mezull\'s attacks was probably only a few seconds but with an enemy of that caliber and at that speed, a few seconds was a lot of fighting.

"Come on Tiff, they\'re waiting on us." Realizing they were supposed to be running still she stopped taking the stairs at a normal speed and ran inside. Being led straight to the room the oracle was in last time Tiff saw she was still sitting in the circle of light but there was someone who wasn\'t here last time right next to her.

"We thought you were dead." Dawn beat her to talking to the Temple Head but she didn\'t really have anything to say that didn\'t involve saying something like; \'I\'m so happy you\'re alive!\' She would rather just let Dawn say everything for her. "I was never in real danger so you should be happy you\'re alive."

This was true the Temple Head had a talisman and they didn\'t so if anyone would have died it would have been them. They were all alive though so whatever the Temple Head had planned to get them here worked perfectly. "Alright I\'ve just been told which of you he wants to see first, so Tiff come sit with me." After the oracle said this the Temple Head stood and Tiff moved to take her place right after waving bye to Dawn who was being led away by the Temple Head.

"You remember what to do right?" Tiff nodded and extended her hands to the oracle. "Goodluck." Like last time Tiff could see the surroundings start to change as soon as she grabbed onto the oracles hands and she was back in the white space but this time she took some time to look around.

Last time the conversation had started almost right away so she hadn\'t had much time to look at anything other than the God of Light who had looked like a normal person to her. As she was looking around she saw where they had sat last time and that was really it. It was like this was just a small room the God of Light used to meet with mortals.

The only other thing she noticed was the God of Light wasn\'t here for whatever reason. Well there was a reason she could think of and it involved Mezull and whoever had been sent to fight him. There was a good chance the God of Light was still taking care of that. Right when she was thinking of sitting down a door opened into the room and the God of Light walked in.

"You can go ahead and sit."

"Sorry about the trouble we caused." Tiff just went ahead and said this since it was what she was thinking and she knew the God of Light would know she wanted to apologize. She felt it was a bad look not to apologize even if the other person knew you wanted to. It was probably one of the most socially awkward things you could do.

"It wasn\'t really your fault. The blame lies on Dayna. She shouldn\'t have gone with you. You two would have met almost no problems if she had just sent some regular guards but as soon as the Demon Worshipers saw her alone away from the temple they decided to try and kill her." This actually made sense of what had happened to them.

The temple Head had seemed confused over the lack of follow up attacks and had made them wait while the two guys they had met went and looked around but in reality the reason they hadn\'t been attacked was the Demon Worshipers were setting up an attack on the Temple Head.

"Yeah that\'s pretty much what happened." It seemed the God of Light had been following along with her thoughts so she just asked. "Why did the Temple Head come with us then?"

"There were a couple reasons the first being she didn\'t have the best intel on what you two would run into so she thought she needed to go because if she didn\'t she would have to send a lot of people in her place and that would hollow out the defense force in the city. But, her main reason was she wanted to."

If the God of Light was saying this it was probably true but she wanted to know why the Temple Head had wanted to come so bad. "Do you know why?" The God of Light smiled and said. "I\'m surprised that you haven\'t asked about why I told the Temple Head to send Dawn with you." Realizing this had been a real mystery to her until they had been attacked, Tiff was fine with the change of subject.

"Well first off she asked after I told her you were my first choice but the main reason I agreed was because I was pretty sure you would back out at the last second if you made the trip here alone." Tiff didn\'t exactly understand what he was saying and before she could ask he said. "You would have said no to the job."

Straight to the point, but she couldn\'t deny he was probably right. She had been on the fence the whole time about him choosing her even after he had told her why he had. She didn\'t feel she was a good choice even if her set of skills were perfect for the job like the God of Light had said or because she had been the one to retrieve the Divinity the God of Light would be using.

The thing was, now that she had arrived, she felt like she needed to say yes for whatever reason so the God of Light had made the right decision in making Dawn come as well. "So you do want it?" Tiff nodded. "Good, that means I won\'t have to give it to Dawn. She was an ok choice but the job does nothing with bows."

Hearing Dawn was also his second choice Tiff guessed it made sense because other than their weapons the way they fought was similar. "So you had another reason to let her come?" The God of Light smiled again and asked. "Are you ready? We have a lot to do and your friend is waiting." Tiff saw his point, she could probably talk all day and never run out of things to say so stopping now was for the best.
