Chereads / The Blind Saviour: Aether Vol 1 / Chapter 18 - Chapter 16: Coming to Power

Chapter 18 - Chapter 16: Coming to Power

A few days after the events from Gala's rescue. im summoned by the Neotic Council members themselves. Yunago comes with me and carries her dagger in her hip holster again. She noticeably blushes whenever she's around me. For the last three days. Shes been acting really weird. Hiding in the corner,talking to herself or on her cell phone, writing in her journal or brushing her tails. She hasn't said a word to me after the tackle and kisses. I figure she may be embarrassed by that.

Either way she's cute in a wholesome way. We arrive to a big forest green building. The roofs are curved and decorated with green and yellow striped banners. They hang from two massive pillars perfectly. We walk inside and see a receptionist woman dressed in a red skirt and a green silk top. She moves down her red glasses and looks towards our direction.

She escorts us to two large circular doors and knocks on them. She tells us to wait on a long green bench. We take a seat and wait. The tension between me and Yunago is growing so I decide to break the silence. "Sooo..Yunago...has everything been ok? You've been acting weird as of lately." I ask her. She doesn't respond but scooches away from me and blushes some more.

She has a small smile on her face and I wonder what is it that's making her act so weird. For the next ten minutes we sit in awkward silence. I pat my thighs and close my eyes to mediate. Im bored out of my mind, suddenly a man in a green robe walks out the large doors. His face is completely covered by the shadow of his hood minus his nose. He motioned his hand to follow him. We do and sit in these tall chairs. Three other robed men sit in there respected chairs. They are silent for a few moments until they start mumbling to one another. "Soo..lets have a look at you..hmm..ah..it can't be..your the daughter of..her aren't you?" The man asked.

"Her? Im sorry sir. But who are you referring to?" I asked. The man stroked his short reddish orange goatee. He lean back in his chair and intertwined his skinny fingers."Skyra. By Nea...We heard of Azou she came to us demanding independence and respect toward the Ojoo race, Skyra came to us when she was nineteen years old for...other horrendous reasons. But you. You are...By Nea...Aether..Luna. Its a honor to finally see the one who displayed her power.

How can the Council of Neo help you?" Said the red-goateed man. I giggled and scratched my head. "Also. We happened to find a peculiar girl with a strange woman in tow. Gala was it. She seemed to have apprehended her with ease. Do not worry she has been sent to jail and won't be out anytime soon. As for the other girl. Shes here waiting for you." The man giggled. Gala walked out with a snack in her hand. She was in her small state again and floated towards us. "Hoi hoi. Hehe the Council people helps Gala. Gala was hungry so she asked for foods. Hehe. Lets go home".

She said as cute as ever. I wipe her small face with a napkin and kiss her cheeks. She returns to her final state and hugs me. We thank the Councilmen and head back to Yunago's hut. On the way there. Gala asks to head to Nius and wait for me there. I nod and see her fly off to the palace. Yunago and I keep walking to her home. "Luna...I know I've been acting weird...and I know I've been ignoring you..but..I was thinking about...the..affection i showed you when we left Fafir's realm a few days ago. Sorry..im awkward ok." She nervously said while walking slightly faster than me. We get to her hut and go inside. I feel her hand touch mind. Her cheeks a flesh pinkish color. I feel my own cheeks blush just from her touch alone. I avoid her gaze but fail to do so. She looks at me and sits on the bed with her hands in her lap. Her tails swish side to side. Her hands touches mind and I feel her cuddling me.

"Luna..We may not have known each other for a long time..but..I can't help but feel..this..warmth towards you. I..I know I care about you and you do also. But. Something else. Do you feel something else?..like..its a bit deeper than that." She said while undressing and dressing into her tan robe. I hesitate and softly kick my feet and feel my cheeks getting warmer. I grab the nearest pillow and hide my head under neath it. Yunago smiled and I feel her hug me. I blush entirely my whole face feels like I ate an pepper.

"Y...Yunago...mmm..mm..Um..Ok..you are..attractive and I do feel we're good friends and I do care for you....I..I.." Without a second thought. I raise my head from under the pillow. A kiss on my lips. Just like with Pigtails. This kiss felt different. Could this had been what Momma and Papa feel...is this..no. Im in love.

I return her kiss also by pressing my lips toward hers. We both take a long breath and giggle. "That...was..pretty hot. Dullahans must have a way with fire. Your head popped off by the way. Never thought there neck flame was turquoise. Hehe. So cute..and..you know what else is cute...." She paused for a mere moment and pointed toward me blushing. "You...I..like you a lot Luna." She shakingly said. I hugged her and kissed her on her forehead. "Guess this means...were...a couple?" I asked confused with a nervous grin. Yunago softly punched my shoulder and laughed. "If ya want...i..its up to you. If it were my desicion..Id love to be your g.g..girlfriend." She said with her face turning a bright red while taking my head back off my neck and putting it back on.

"Id love to. My little fox..hehe..My Ginger Angel." I kissed her feeling more confident. We held hands and laid in her bed. My phone rang. I got a call from Papa sounding a bit worried. "You got to get home quickly. Fafir has announce his marriage to Nea. Not only that but I get the hunch he's got a secret plan cooking.

Disgusted by his name. I decide to bring Yunago with me to Nius. A large bag of her luggage in tow. Azou and Gala are waiting for me. "Sup sis. Hehe. Oh. This is Yunago huh? Gala been telling me all about how you love her and wanna be with her foreverrrr" She tease. I push her off the clouds forgetting she can fly. Momma walks in wearing a white and purple dress she looks bored and kinda upset. Papa floats in upset he's wearing a blazer and a matching shirt with Momma's. "The Wedding apparently is today. Nea couldn't wait and thus Fafir has deemed himself the King of the Gods. Pfft. So uptight and full of shit." Momma angrily says. "Mom!! Gala is right here!! She'll repeat what you say even profanity. Momma waves me off and hugs Gala kissing her cheek. "Well why don't you get dress Luna we'll meet you at Nea's Front Courtyard. We'll all keep a eye on Fafir.

Two hours later. Im all dressed up standing with goddess and gods that I must've skimmed over in my braille book when I was younger. They all were tall, short,fat,skinny and some even curvy. Each in formal wear no one and believe me NO ONE seemed like they wanted to be here. "PREPOSTEROUS. Fafir you fool. Noo..Marrying my mother will not make me accept you as my father nor father-in-law. I say this is a sham!!!" The God of Life Psion shouted. He wore a beautiful purple mask with a green headscarf.

He and Papa were polar opposites of each other and always got into arguments. "God of Death. Lord Unknown. Zuma. Took a day off killing people I see or did you decide to create the Grim Reaper?" He mocked. "God of Life. Psion. The one who Skyra stopped from trying to rule all of Nius. I have no time for your petty squabble my eyes are for a bigger prize. You see..Fafir is planning something and it may cause mass murder and tragedy." He said wisely. Psion was slightly offended but turned his attention to a Fafir dressed in a jewel encrested red cape and matching suit. He wore a mask. covering his forehead to his nose. He waved to the other deities and even Neo was broadcasting the wedding.

We faked our applause for Fafir. Once Nea came toward us she was wearing a beautiful blue dress and white veil that was so long it lead to the hallway behind her. She stood before us and we all bowed in respect of her authority. "You may rise my friends, children and people. For I will be wed for the second time. Thank you all for coming. Now. Let us commence the wedding" Nea said.

I wasn't really happy about seeing Fafir so soon. My fist balled up at the sight of that asshole. I picture the most horrid thoughts possible. Once the formalities were over Fafir and Nea kissed. A half hearted cheer for the newlyweds from Neo and the deities. Fafir stood before us creating a cradle for a baby and a throne for himself and Nea. "Now that we are wed. I have been officially declared the KING OF THE GODS. And with that responsibility. Nius,Hexus and Neo will be under my control. But first things first. My daughter Destiny will be the one you all bow to. Not this silly legend of Aether. In fact..Were is little Luna. Hehe. Destiny will rock this world to its core. But for now. My first decree as king.

You gods and goddesses. Will now be my servants. The girl named Vu released from Neo's prison and one of my chambermaids and THIS WORLD WILL BE UNDER MY CONTROL." With no delay the gods all fled from Fafir's spirit dragons and snakes some people on Neo were already murdered and eviscerated. Nea looked uncomfortable with all of this but was stunned. Fafir put his hand on her stomach, his eyes glowed red and by some demonic chant her stomach was flat. A girl about five foot five appeared. All of Nius,Hexus and Neo looked in silence. I felt uncertain on what just happened. Lean and muscular this new girl stood she caused a mass panic. Simply by turning towards us.

"Father...thank you. What must I do my king?" The girl said. He slapped her and smiled. She flew across the clouds into a rock. "That's MY GOD. Thats right. I'm not an king. I am an god. Destroy all of those who come before me. Capture Gala and rid her of her power and absorb it into yourself. After that you may do as you please. Just wreak havoc." He laughed.
