Chapter 18: CHAPTER 17
Meanwhile, at Ru's bar in Celestia Heavens, the whole ambiance was still lively, although some of them were filled with a tiny bit of disappointment for some unusual reason. The other Gods ordered more beers and hard drinks, in order for them to ease off their sudden depression, since they saw the result of the race.
"Ugh...what a blunder that was.",
the God said, while he was drinking root beer from his glass mug. Then, another God with glasses told his thoughts out loud,
"What the heck does that dragon have? Does it have nitrous stuck to its b*tt?".
Another one said,
"I wonder what happened to lady Otorine's speed capability?".
Thereon, the flat screen tv that was stuck to a wall showed that the dragon had won. It proved by presenting the replay video lapse of the dragon's nostril hair had touched the finish line first before Otorine's bountiful breasts could. Ru just sighed as her friend didn't win the race,
"Just because of that dragon's nostril hair...".
She brought out a remote control and pressed one of its buttons. Sooner or later, a moving wooden wall was sliding and covering the flat screen tv. A little while later, the tv was no longer visible, as it was hidden at the back of the sliding wooden wall. Shunya looked worried not because of Otorine but because, of her friend Amora who wasn't in a good state. It appeared Amora wasn't happy of the result, since her friend didn't win. Amora looked even more wasted than ever before. Not only that, her movements were groggy even though she was just sitting on her couch.
"I won'd akshept thish!",
as she expressed with irritation in her droopy eyes. Then, she took a shot once more. The table in front of her had lots of emptied shot glasses. It seemed she had taken a lot of shots, making her to feel drunk and dizzy. Moreover, she reeked of booze and she was having hiccups. There after, she stood up and blurted out with her slurred speech again,
"Where ish thash dragurn! Imma beat isht to wae puwp!".
She was trying to get near the tv that was stuck to the wall, as if she wanted to smash it. Somehow, her aggression was boosted, as she was totally drunk. Funnily enough, Shunya was pulling her friend away,
"Please calm down big sis Amora. The dragon's not there...it's really not! Don't break another tv. Ru and Zeran wouldn't be happy!".
Though, due to her petite form, she was having trouble of pulling Amora away from creating a ruckus. Thereon, she asked help from the others like she was a little girl crying for help,
"Huwah! Someone help me here!".
Back at Amakiel world, Otorine, Yumine and Ira had returned and landed in the island where Exceediel was staying at. They were guided once again by the teenage girl who introduced them to the village. Sooner or later, they arrived at the quarters of Exceediel. This time, the teenage girl stayed with them. They've noticed that Exceediel was sitting like he was a tribal chieftain. He was grinning for some reason, as the three Goddesses came back in one piece. He grabbed the silver chalice and asked them,
"Let me guess, you've found it huh?".
Then, he drank the water from the siliver chalice. As usual, his way of drinking was truly uncouth to ever see, as the excess water was leaking from his mouth. Yumine replies filled with optimistic vibes,
"Well yeah! Now ready to go back to your cell?".
Exceediel didn't decline but, he just said,
"Just give it to me first.".
He held out his hand asking for the said item. Otorine, Yumine, and Ira looked at each other. They were masked with doubts at first. Though, soon enough, they gave-in to his measly demands. Otorine responds to him,
"Okay...".
Then, she revealed the flower that the dragon had on his head before. Exceediel looked delighted, since it was the exact flower he was asking for. He grabbed it. Next, he shut his eyes and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, Goddess Aily had appeared, while she was slumbering on top of his laps. The three Goddesses were flabbergasted, as they had seen and felt that the sleeping woman was truly the Goddess of the Amakiel world,
"It's Aily!".
Exceediel grabbed the golden chalice that had wine poured on it. He put the petals of the flowers in the wine. Yumine and Ira sneaked a closer peek of what Exceediel was doing such as they were fascinated over their custom. A little while later, Exceediel drank the wine, although he kissed his slumbering Goddess's lips immediately. The three Goddesses looked embarrassed. Since, he was proving a very daring attempt of affection, while he was also making the sleeping Aily to drink the wine from his mouth bit by bit. Sooner or later, he had stopped kissing her. Afterwards, the Goddess Aily coughed lots and she had awakened from her deep slumber. She raised her body and her one white wing was revealed from her back.
Aily was the real Goddess of Amakiel world. She has brilliant and blonde wind blown hair that can be described as a tangling golden curtain. Her height was the same as any other model, since she was 5' 9" as well. She has a nice blend of pale and pinkish skin tone. Her dazzling and expressive eyes were deep sea blue. Her eyes looked calm but, there was an ounce of seriousness in them. Her pouting lips looked very kissable enough. She has the face of a former model since she looked-like she was in her mid 28s-30s. Her body was very slim as her white and flawless clothes of a Goddess proved her elegant form. Though, her divine dress looked-like a fusion of a bikini and a dress from the Greek Goddesses had worn before. Her legs were also slim as well as her hands. Though, her feet weren't naked as they were wearing golden-plated greaves. Her only one wing might not be capable of flying but, they were like a symbol of hope due to its elegant form. Due to her nature and serious look, she might be a bit of a snob except to the one she most held dear.
Aily felt her head and expressed herself with her soothing and moderate tone of a classy woman,
"Huh? Where am I? I thought I was still at that strange woods.".
She noticed that her husband was near her,
"Exceediel?!".
Exceediel didn't respond but, he just wore a smile filled with immense bliss. It seemed he was truly happy that his long lost wife had awaken from her deep sea slumber. The next moment, the teenage blonde-haired girl hugged the Goddess Aily with all her heart,
"Mother!".
Otorine was noticing that Exceediel wasn't showing any evil intention but, a face of a loving father who's happy to see his daughter and his wife. In turn, she was engrossed in her thoughts,
"I never thought that another Fallen would still have goodness in his heart.".
The atmosphere was truly sweet as the family was reunited even for a few moments. Even for Ira and Yumine they felt a wholesome vibe upon seeing the family being together. Sooner or later, things calmed down. Aily told her daughter that she and the others will be discussing something very important. Thereupon, the little girl bowed and left. The five of them were sitting, although Aily replaced the position of her husband, as she's the real Goddess of the Amakiel world. Exceediel was sitting beside Ira. Otorine and her friends told Aily on what happened in Celestia Heavens, regarding the incident with Exceediel. Thereon, Aily said and expressed herself,
"I see...so you're telling me that the FALLENS escaped and my long lost husband Exceediel was one of them...".
Otorine replied fast,
"Yes lady Aily.".
Aily sighed, as she heard the grievous incident at Celestia Heavens, while she was in a deep sleep. She looked stressed. Then, she touched her forehead and asked them a favor,
"While I want to thank you three for waking me up from that strange sleep. I must talk to my IDIOT husband in private.".
She took a seedy glance at Exceediel. Though, Exceediel just masked a funny smile, since he doesn't know how to respond to that. Later on, the three Goddesses had left the quarters. Goddess Aily stood up. She raised her hand and made a powerful gesture, such as she was forcing the land to go up,
"LANDORUS MINEA!".
Afterwards, the entrance was encased in an earthen wall, giving Aily and her husband some privacy. The air grew tense as Aily looked serious upon seeing her husband. Though, she wasn't angry or anything, while she was looking at him straight in the eye.
"So Exceediel, I heard from my daughter that you were the one who helped bring me here. More than that, you were also the one who suggested them to find a cure.",
she said. Exceediel stood up and scratched his head, while he was wearing a tricky smile that wasn't filled with any kind of sinistry. He didn't respond to her statement. Somehow, She didn't mind his silent remarks, as she continued to ask,
"My only question is, why?".
Her hands were making gestures, as she kept on blurting out aided with expressive eyes such as she was a confused maiden,
"Why would you save me? What would you benefit from doing this? You could just take over everything and continue on what you were trying to accomplish before?".
Crystal tears were starting to pour from the Goddess's eyes, as she kept exclaiming to her criminal husband,
"Hells! those Goddess accomplices of yours before are even more beautiful than me!".
Suddenly, he embraced her tight, turning Aily to stop on asking a lot of questions that were filled with doubts. Their atmosphere was wreathed by lots of falling feathers as the two lovers felt each others warmth. Aily was shocked at first but, she was also relieved in some way, turning her to drop one tear. Later on, Exceediel responded with his soft voice filled with amazing words,
"I'm just that worried for you and our daughter's sake. Also, you're the only Goddess that I find beautiful now...".
Aily felt relieved but, she pushed him away for some reason. In turn, the falling soft feathers and warmth around the area had ceased. Exceediel looked surprised but, her eyes weren't hating him. Rather, she was looking at him with intense determination of a tigress. She sighed and told him,
"You do realize that you've just bargained your freedom.".
Exceediel's worry had disintegrated, as he heard her words. He wore a sincere smile and replied back with a gentle tone,
"This sudden freedom...I do not deserve it.".
She replied back softly,
"I see.".
The next moment, Aily embraced her husband this time around. She masked a dazzling smile of an elegant maiden and said,
"Also, thank you for coming back to me, even by just mere moments. You even saved me, my hero.".
She was truly grateful for his sincere responses to his unexpected actions. Exceediel's daring grin had returned, as he felt her divine warmth once again. Their embraces took longer than expected, turning the tides of time to slow and calm down. Both of them had passionate stares. Their needing lips had contact with each other. Through their entwining tongues, they felt the long lost steaming warmth that they longed for. Aily and Exceediel were sealed in an amazing trance. Their wings were dancing along the breeze such as they were lovebirds caressing each other through their fluttering feathers. Petals and warm lights were waltzing around them, as they continue to explore each others passionate hearts. Thereupon, their love den was created through the merging brilliant wings.
Outside the sealed off love den, Otorine was staring into space for some reason, while she was sitting at the sturdy hanging branches. She was having doubts in her thoughts,
"How could I lose to that dragon? Are my wings weaker now as well?".
She turned to her left and witnessed that her friend Yumine was busy playing with the cheerful kids. Otorine felt that she could worsen the mood if she joined them, so she just stayed in her little corner. Ira patted Otorine's shoulder and asked her,
"Hey...why so down huh?".
Otorine responded,
"It's just...It's because I didn't actually win...".
Ira put her finger on her lip, as she was guessing on how to respond to Otorine's honest rant. Soon, Ira leaned near Otorine's face and replied back,
"Well, you might've not won but, atleast that dragon's f*cking happy. Besides he gave the flower to us anyway, regardless of the outcome.".
Ira had stopped leaning and made a gesture that she can't accept something so unbelievable,
"Honestly, that NOSY HOLOGRAPHIC FREAKIN' SCREEN that almost shows up in any unusual event is the one really to blame here, since it's TOO PRECISE! HECK! The dragon's nostril hair just had a longer range than your FRONT-LINE MELONS!".
Otorine's sudden depression in her look was no more, as she heard Ira's ridiculous opinion over the race's outcome. Not only that, she was on the brink of laughing now,
"Geez Ira, are you trying to cheer me up or something?".
Ira replied back irritated, while she was pointing something out,
"Tch! I just don't want my RIVAL to be so down on a measly race. Hmph!".
Otorine giggled then she said,
"By the way, thanks Ira.".
Ira grew more and more annoyed of Otorine's immense kindness,
"What the?! You're thanking your rival?!".
Even though, Yumine was playing with the village kids, she was noticing that Ira was becoming fond of Otorine. Somehow, Yumine wasn't feeling any kind of deep anger from Ira rather, it was petty teenage girl irritation to her friend, due to Otorine's immense kindness in her statements. Yumine giggled and she was absorbed in her thoughts,
"Oh Ori, you're still too soft even to your former enemies.".
After a while, The sealed mystic door was gone and Exceediel emerged. He called unto the three Goddesses, as his wife wanted to talk to them. As they entered back, the two lovers weren't looking at each other, even though the two of them were inexplicably blushing. For some reason, there was a whiff of an awkward air between Exceediel and Aily, in which Otorine and the others were noticing. Though, they didn't mind it that much, since the two were husband and wife. Exceediel was growing weary of his wife, since she should say something to the three Goddesses by now. Sadly, Aily was still looking very embarrassed for some reason. Thereupon, Exceediel sighed and lead ahead of the discussion,
"NOW THAT'S EVERYTHING SETTLED! I guess it's time for me to return back to my—.".
Suddenly, Aily interrupted him,
Not so fast Exceediel! By our world's customs, whoever departs for his journey shall—.".
Her embarrassing feeling was gone. The next moment, she revealed and spread out her glorious one wing. Then, she said aided by an amazing pose,
"WEAVE THE WINGS OF FAREWELLS!".
Yumine looked dumbstruck,
"Uuuummm what's that? Do we have to knit wings?".
