Chapter 7 - Theology

The martins are having dear as they are in their kitchen with it being heavily modern with only a fridge and microwave with a dining table in the middle with everyone one of them drinking soup from a curved bowl

"mom, this packet is incredible where did you get it from" Melina said while savoring the sweet spicy flavor

"this is a new product, it was just brought into the market" her mom in a calm and composed voice 

"Daniel, i now your tired but wanna come to the festival today, your favorite artist is performing Christian vous"

Daniel hesitates but after a thought

"yea dad anyway i need to meet the priest, to thank the sun god for my fortunes"

he lied to his family as he didn't want them to know about his dream and for his mom to cancel his entire social life and hopes for his dreams for his security. 

He knew he was selfish but he had worked so hard for the position as a inquisitor. He didn't want to give that up in a day for his mom fear of her son's life

thinking it in his head made him sound like a fool but the he felt a thud

"Daniel are you ok, you need to come to the festival if your not feeling good" his dad said in a tone of pure sincerity and care

"yeah, you ok right Daniel" she added more "you don't need to come if don't feel good"

"yeah mom, i am gonna go lay down" 

he told that to his parents as he made his way into his room

it was small but but home with a desk on his right side of the entrance and a bed on his left as he laid down

he picked up Claude back up from his pocket as he had removed it from his back pack the moment he had started to settle in

he turned his body left to face the wall and opened a compartment there and slid the back up there 

"hello master Daniel, i am Claude-io your robotic companion"

"Claude issue a message"

"yes, continue after a beep" 

beep

"hello sir Gideon, i had a dream that i was a field with a tree and suddenly a storm formed and lighting started to strike everywhere and then it hit the tree burning it and i heard words crucible, tyrant. I am pretty spooked so i hoped you could get back to me as soon as you cand and thank you"

"who shall i sent this message to" inquired Claude

"sir Gideon marquis" answered Daniel

he closed his eyes as he after the long day wanted to sleep

it was 8 when he woke up in cold, feeling sweaty as he had the same nightmare

the tree

the storm

a robotic voice peeped

"you have a message from sir Gideon" informed Claude

what, why did sir Gideon respond to me soo quickly. He is known for being late 

"play it"

"yes, the voice message shall play after the beep"

despite it taking few seconds before the beep it felt like a eternity for Daniel as suddenly

beep

"ohh, Daniel i have good news for your"

the message stopped for few seconds then 

"your gonna be an inquisitor"

that words hit like a truck as Daniel was overwhelmed with joy and fear as his stomach turned cold while going warm due to the moment sir Gideon heard about his dreams he becomes an inquisitor

"the third test was the dream during your defensive test, your second test also happened Theology aptitude but this dream should have happened in the practice room but not after a while and after knowing this you have successfully passed. I will tell you the rest later so your holiday has been cut short" as the beginning seemed like a friend lecture but the end was like stern teacher warning

"you are to meet me at the practice room, you know the key right 243. so i want you there tomorrow" said sire Gideon in a voice of sternness 

the moment he heard that his stomach dropped 

he was planning to spent the week with his family, they will be devastated

his mom will be worried sick for what reason does he have to return the day he came 

so he decided to do something unthinkable, something he always avoided standing up to the government, to against the UHE

"Claude sent this message to sir Gideon"

"yes start a" before clade could start

"sir Gideon, i shall be coming after the week of glory as it is a holiday in all sector that the emperor rules so that means all of UHE and unless Adrian Marcus Augustus is not the current emperor. I shall not return until the week end" as he interrupted Claude in a tone of arrogance 

he knows that he probably washed his career as a inquisitor down the drain, but he doesn't care as right now all that does his family

He rather be an analytics analyzer than let his family worry

He then shuts his eyes of and goes to sleep

Daniel walks up can't even able to stand properly due to his lack of sleep due to his nightmare

He stumbles his way into the washroom as he takes his brush from the toiletries box and starts to brush but he overhears chatter from the hall but doesn't think much of it 

after his brushing he walks into the living room barely awake while stumbling as he spots in the couch with his mother and father standing near the entrance talking being sir Gideon

"i didn't know you had such a great teacher" his father announced

"yeah he seems to nice and he told me that he sent you a letter of invitation to the inquisition yesterday but why were you rude to him because it wasn't in the front lines but a job of safety you are so ungrateful Daniel don't be like this" his mother started to lecture him

as Daniel stood there not being able to process that this is the same sir Gideon who made fun of him, here in his home lying to his parent while acting like a charismatic 

what is theology so important that sir Gideon himself got to come to his house just to fetch him
