Bab 109: Eternals-2
"Calm down Phastos. Ikaris is just worried about all of us." Makkari used her sign language to speak her thoughts.
"Someone is coming." Ikaris suddenly said and looked outside the window.
A Black coloured jet, much more advanced than the present human technology, arrived at their ranch and landed outside.
All Eternals walked out to meet any hostile force but found one single man coming from the ship.
"Hello... I believe I am here to meet you, people. Name is Phil. Can anyone point me towards my sister Gaea? A childish but powerful being with a cosmic starry body and loves to fly." Phil asked.
Gilgamesh moved his hand giving a silent order to stand down to all other Eternals and just used his hand to ask Phil to come forward.
Phil walked toward him without revealing any anxiety or fear and Gilgamesh walked him inside and pointed towards the closed door.
"There. She is with Ajax." Gilgamesh only said a few words and then left Phil to walk into the room.
"Now who is he?" Impatient with new people coming in their residence one after another like doing some inspection or judging them irked Sprite.
"He is not human either," Sersi said giving everyone a sense of dread.
Gilgamesh wanted to say something but suddenly Thena's eyes flickered randomly scaring him.
"Hey....hey... Let's go there. Okay. Come..." Gilgamesh hurriedly caught her and walked with her towards an old dried tree.
Thena sat on the ground with some difficulty and then she lost her sense and got immersed in the past memories. The memories of their past lives where they went on another planet, helped the creatures to grow in numbers and then.... the whole planet was destroyed.
Her brain could not keep these memories and it keeps fighting with these sparks of previous memories, suppressing them and confusing her.
"Is she getting worse now?" Sersi worried about Thena asked Gilgamesh.
"Some days are good days and some days are bad. Some days she just speaks some strange things. But some days, she can recite the most beautiful poetry." Gilgamesh said with a sad smile.
------------------------------------------
"Knock...Knock," Phil knocked the closed door twice before pushing them and walking inside.
He saw a woman, an old but regal woman sitting on a chair talking to Gaea who was floating around her.
"Apologies. It seems the senior who was supposed to oversee her, has left midway." Phil walked inside politely and kept a neutral attitude towards the beings he had no information.
Are these enemies or friends, it is all to be judged and he cannot rush into judging beings who have been here since the age of caveman.
"He is here. Watching us. I can tell." Ajak said with a smile and got up.
"I am Ajak. The leader of Eternals. And you are?" Ajak asked the new being who entered into her home.
"I am Phil. Currently the leader of human forces protecting this planet or at least that's the plan." Phil said with a smile.
Just by shaking hands with Ajak, he could determine that she was slightly weaker in power compared to him but he is not here to start a battle without a reason.
"I think, if Master Mordo, our current Sorcerer Supreme, is not coming out, he must have his own reasons. Sister, can you give me some minutes with this woman." Phil asked Gaea and she just hummed and flew outside.
"Master Mordo?" Phil spoke towards an empty place and Master Mordo who came out of the mirror dimension walked away giving these two people some personal space.
He rather leave this place at once. Being surrounded by so much 'bad luck' is really not a good sign for a sorcerer.
"It seems we have the room to ourselves now." Phil said before taking a seat on another chair.
Ajak also took her chair and both leaders watched each other carefully.
It was Phil who spoke first - "There seems to be some fear you are hiding. Pain, fear...then there is hopelessness. Correct me If I am wrong?"
Phil said after carefully looking inside Ajak's eyes. He had seen the same expression in Melina's eyes the first time he met her.
He could never forget those eyes and today, he saw the same kind of eyes. Melina was running from Red Room, from a powerful enemy on her back and wanted to protect her girls. Who is this cosmic being running from?
"I see. You are not a simple human, Mister Phil. Aren't you?" Ajak felt the quantum power flowint through Phil's veins and questioned him.
"Yes. Not anymore. However, I was born as one and lived as one for most of my life." Phil answered before his eyes showed a dangerous glint of quantum power and returned to normal.
" I am sorry. But I am unable to trust you. There are somethings I would like to say but their consequence could lead to the death of my whole family. Everyone you see outside is my family Mister Phil.
I think surely you can understand that feeling." Ajak said before getting up.
"I understand. What do I need then to convince you?" Phil asked directly.
"I am not sure but at present you cannot convince me." Ajak said her final words before opening the door and letting Phil out.
Phil walked outside without creating any issue and greeted the other Eternals before making his way inside the Quinjet.
"Something is wrong with these people." Sorcerer Supreme said at once as soon as Phil entered the Quinjet.
"I know." Phil said before giving a glance to Gaea who flew inside and the jet closed and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"I noticed something brother. A thin string. It's going deeper and deeper inside the planet but there is some force preventing me from reaching that place." Gaea said after she came near Phil.
"It seems our new friends have their own secrets and these secrets might not be a good news for us. Master Mordo, you hurry back to base and try to secure it.
I don't want anyone to ever enter that area without going through our passage. Sis, try to go as close as you can to that force without disturbing it. Once you reach that place, connect to Ancient One.
Only she might have ways to dig these these powers that are hiding inside our planet."
Phil said and Jet became silent.
