---On the Moon: 50 Years ago---
A green opaque portal opens up, and spits out a being garbed in white. The being has a big bald head, and a high collared blue robe over the white dress.
Slowly floating down from the portal, Uatu, the Watcher looks down at the Earth. Using his Cosmic Eyes, he sees himself disappear from the planet, using his own branch of Teleportation.
'So, Agamotto kept his word. I got brought back right before I left the planet alone. Now, I can get back to my observing.' Uatu thinks, and begins his vigil over the planet, as decreed by the Celestials.
"You look like you had fun teaching the brat, Uatu." A low, and highly dangerous voice says, startling Uatu.
Jumping up, Uatu turns back and immediately kneels down in front of the being.
The being, twice as tall as the already tall Uatu, had brown coloured skin. He was wearing a blue robe, with a Golden armour covering the chest, and only the chest. Just like Uatu, this being also had a big disproportioned head, and was also wearing a high collared robe.
Antiphon, the Overseer was here. And he knew about the time travel, and the breaking of his oaths.
"Lord Overseer!" Uatu greets, still kneeling down, but a bit of fear in his voice. He did break the vows.
The being, Overseer whispers, "You may stand, Uatu. I am not here to punish you. At least, not today."
Slowly standing back up, Uatu looks up at Antiphon, the Overseer, and carefully conceals his fear. The fact that Antiphon chuckles at the gesture does not reassure him at all.
Antiphon gives Uatu a look, and says, "You broke your oaths, Uatu. And not just that, you taught the secrets of the Watchers to a Celestial. Why did you do it?"
Uatu gulps, as Antiphon turns away from him to look at the direction of his past self, and says, "I apologize, Lord Overseer. It's just.. I had observed Theos for his entire life. Even when he was within the Sun. I don't think he is a threat to us Watchers."
Antiphon glances at Uatu, and says, "You are right about him. He is not a threat to us. Which is the only reason you aren't being punished, grandson."
Grandson. This was the first time The Overseer, the Proemial God that birthed the race of Watchers ever acknowledged that relation. Heck, if all goes well, he'll be the first one to survive a meeting with Antiphon.
Nodding, and letting a bit of his fear go, Uatu asks, "Why do you believe in him, Lord Antiphon? If you don't mind me asking!" He adds the last part when Antiphon glances at him just once.
Chuckling, Antiphon answers, "The Never Queen works in mysterious ways, Uatu. If she believes the Universe needs this Celestial, then I won't punish you for training him. Plus, my title is the Overseer. My job is looking over the Universe, not interfering in whatever the Mortals do, and don't mistake it. For me, you are still a Mortal, Uatu."
Uatu just gulps, and before he can say anything, Antiphon disappears from his sight, and his senses. Uatu immediately drops down on his butt, the tension leaving him.
"That.. was a horrifying experience. Just being in His presence was enough to suffocate me!" Uatu mumbles to himself, as he lets his heart settle down.
Looking at the Earth, and then in the direction of the Planet his past self is in, Uatu mumbles, "It seems your life will be even more interesting than I'd thought, Theos. If even the Overseer acknowledges it, then I definitely did not make a mistake in teaching you."
He then thinks, 'Now. Who the hell is this Never Queen? And why does Antiphon respect her so much?' and begins his vigil over Earth again. He's 50 years behind already, although not for anyone else.
---New Planet : Present---
It's been a few years since my training under Uatu was over. I haven't been to Earth during this time, as I was learning something much too interesting for me.
Space flight.
Before, as I was hidden only because of the goodwill off Uatu, I had not begun flying outside the atmosphere of the planet. Don't want to accidentally go out of the border of the blind zone.
So, once I had learned, and mastered hiding myself from the Cosmic senses, at least enough that no one knows I am a Celestial, I had immediately begun with Space flight.
And what do you know, there's no difference. Literally. For me, Space flight and Atmospheric flight is one and the same.
I'd noticed in the beginning that while I was affected by the Gravitational forces while flying, I wasn't affected by the air drag in the least. So, as you can tell, it was pretty easy to fly through space.
But.. there were some difficulties too. Mainly, my control. In the beginning, when I tried to land on a few asteroids nearby, I almost always crashed through them, with a few even getting completely disintegrated.
Thankfully, it barely took a few days to get my strength under control. And it was tbe first time I realized that I had gotten much, much stronger within the years of training Uatu put me under.
Whether it was just because of the presence of the Cosmic Energy, or if Uatu's control training had a hand in it, I don't know. My spars with Mother probably helped, even if it wasn't too frequent.
Speaking of, mother had gone back to Earth, leaving me to my devices. But, she was still connected to the planet, so I know she's still keeping an eye on me every once in a while.
Anyway, back to Space flight. Within these years of flying around, I had realized that I did not actually have a speed limit when flying. Like, literally, I could go as fast as I wanted. Subsonic, supersonic, was just too easy to go with. Like, I could go supersonic for hours and I'd barely reach the closest moon.
At first though, I'd needed to break the Escape Velocity, which was freaking easy. Literally, I had to go faster than just Mach 69, meaning 69 times the speed of sound. For those who need exact numbers, it's 85201 kmph, which is about 23.6 km per second! And I did it easily once my control was good enough!
So, yeah, I broke through the gravitational pull within a minute, at most, after which I was free to float around leisurely.
So, once I had gotten to the Vacuum of Space, I floated around and visited the three moons of my planet, and also visited a few neighborhood planets. It was after I had already broken a few asteroids apart, and crashed on the surface of the closest moon once.
Unfortunately, there were no other planets within the habitable zone of this Solar System. While I don't need air to breathe, Celestial duh, I still wanted to visit planets with life on them. As many as possible.
So, I was stuck with my own big ass, Neptune sized planet. And this planet was now beautiful. After the terraforming mother did, which took about 15 years before it stopped speeding up, the planet was green and blue, just like Earth.
There were the two poles, north and south, covered with ice. The tropical areas had a few deserts in them, while most of the subtropics and the temperate zones were green with plant life.
Even the plant life was amazing, with some trees growing as big as the Eiffel tower. I did compare the Gravity of the planet, which was about 2 times that of Earth. Which wasn't much, but still enough that it might hinder mortals.
I had yet to name the planet, but was still thinking. Naming it after myself makes me look too much of a narcissist, which I don't want to seem. At least, not in public. Privately, I can call it Theo's Planet all I want.
Anyway, I had begun eating non-veg again, finally! Eating just Vegetables for 170 something years, while good, as I do love my vegetables, was exhausting. I wanted me some Chicken and even fish! I did not even like fish in my previous life!
Unfortunately, chicken don't exist yet. Some species I have no knowledge of do look like them, a bit, although on the wilder side. So, I hunted them, and even stole their eggs! The taste was really similar to chicken! So I kept on doing it.
I did try a few other birds and smaller animals like hares. But, nope, did not like the taste. So, I stayed with Chicken, Eggs, and Fish, along with my usual vegetables. Although, not all at once. I did it like I did in my previous life. 3 days for Non-veg, 3 for Vegetarian, and one for something fancy.
Which meant me trying out different combinations of foods.
Ahem, so, yeah. That's how I spent my last few years. Right now, I find myself invisible, looking over the group of dragons.
These were wilder, and stupider dragons, as compared to those I'd seen before. Mother had only shown me 3 dragons, all of whom could talk to me in my language. Meaning, they had AllSpeak.
These ones though, were more like Wyverns. Meaning, they had two hind legs, two wings near their, I want to say shoulder area, and two hands. Dragons had four legs and wings on their back, and no hands.
Wyverns were also as stupid as any normal animal. Meaning, while I could still understand them thanks to my gift of Nature Communication, I could not talk with them like I did with my Island's monkeys and the Dragons.
There were some common points too though, like the fact that both Dragons and Wyverns have a fuckton of Magic and Life Energy within them. They both breathe fire, they both are as aggressive as they come, and they're both long living species.
As far as I could tell after my subtle Magical scans, Wyverns could live for approximately 2 centuries. Which wasn't much as compared to the almost immortality of the Dragons.
Anyway, I was observing them, because I wanted to observe the difference in the behaviour patterns of Dragons and Wyverns. I also wanted to see what they do with those stores of Energy.
Why? Because firstly, I'm a Nature God. Secondly, I'm a Celestial. I think.. somehow, my Celestial nature forces me to observe the mortal life. I think it's this, because my curiosity only increased after my Cosmic Energy was unlocked.
I did not care what went on while I was on my island, back on Earth. So, yeah. I'm a researcher now. Barely.
I was going to observe the Wyverns for a few hours each day, for a year or so, and then move on to the Dragons.
Huh. I wonder how Wyvern meat tastes? Will the Chi in the meat even have an effect on me? Meh, I'll try when I'm done observing.

A/N: For those who expect every chapter to be the most interesting chapter, I just want to say, that for a few more chapters, the plot won't be much interesting. You all can just ignore, and then binge read until chapter 27.
Chapter 28, which I haven't even written yet, will begin with an interesting plot. Or at least, I think it's interesting.
Tata!
