[But what he doesn't know is the fact; Devmaya used to love Aelin and treated her as a treasure. But Aelin never helped her, not even once.
Aelin always chose Celaena in between them. Thus naturally, Devmaya hated Celaena to the core. She always bullied Celaena. Because of which Aelin cut her ties with Devmaya. So, whether this soft-hearted Devmaya will side with Aelin or against Aelin… that only the future would tell.]
~~
Anyways, back to the present.
Aelin listened and couldn't help but frown internally. Doesn't this voice belong to that angelic beauty! So, was she here again. But why did this beauty's words sound so offensive?
After all, who was she? The one and only heiress of the Patriarch Kim Family of Country Soul. She might not be many things, but understanding the hidden meaning behind people's words or praise had been her specialty.
And she could tell that this lady wasn't just simply apologizing for her absence, but pointing towards the fault of this, who? The Great Deitiness!!! What's that!!! Or who is that?
But anyway, this lady here was blaming this deity for not being able to come here.
~~
Wasn't this the typical plotline Kiara told her on her 17th birthday? While Kiara and Ashoka were busy together for the whole day and night. Yep. Kiara, her best friend. And Ashoka, her fiance, gave her such a wonderful birthday gift.
What's more ironic is the fact, Angelina, the person who hated her the most, for her beauty. That Angelina broadcasted the very video of Aelin's best friend and fiance rocking together, live, just moments before she was about to cut the cake.
Only she knows how she survived that night. She knows Ashoka doesn't like her. And she always respected that. But she always has to suffer more because of him, and by him, that fact was unbearable.
~~
'Here I thought, I had enough of this. But it seems like I have to go through all this again. But can I deny it? Can I refuse? Can I not just bear and do nothing?
Can't I fight back for myself? Even if it's just a little bit. In the name of self-respect, dignity. Can't I? After all, I am The Great Aelin Kim. For God's sake.
If I can get such wonderful parents, such a powerful background, such a rich family, high-quality education, refined life, then can't I achieve this too?
Please!!! Please, I am fed up with this boring, humiliating life! You see, Sita said, I am so thick-skinned, that even shame will feel shame from me. Then, can't I, just for once, act like A badass Bitch Queen?
Just once.'
~~
"Aelin, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell, somewhere?" Celaena asked with utmost concern.
Aelin, who felt like she could move at will, finally opened her eyes. She stared at Celaena for a good few minutes. While Celaena, who was feeling all concerned, just a moment before, couldn't help but step back subconsciously.
After all, The Phoenix was staring at her. And it definitely isn't advisable to do the staring contest with a Phoenix, who can burn you alive, without even letting you know, when it happened and how it happened.
Aelin's gaze was devoid of any emotions. Because it was Aelin Kim. The person who never learned the art of intimidating others. Only get suppressed by others.
But still, for the first time, she decided to REBEL. Yep, she wanted to experiment with this angelic beauty.
"Are you blind? Can't you see, I was sleeping? You disturbed my sleep. Leave." Aelin said the word after another. Although the words don't carry any aura, any power, or anything of themselves.
But they do represent two things. One: Courage of their owner. Two: Their owner is pissed.
Both Celaena and Prithvi were shocked, beyond belief. Aelin actually said those words to her... Her water sister; The Celaena Cortland.
This creature… this goddess… she… this firebird… she actually opted for the non-violence's stream. Unbelievable. Bravo!
~~
There actually came a day, when this fireangel actually did something this savage, yet with full simplicity. As he felt the lack of power and aura in her words. He was impressed. He was beyond impressed.
So, this memory loss thing could be a good thing too! Right! And another smile appeared on his lips. Giving another Blue Moon sight to Earthlings.
~~
Celeana was beyond shocked, indeed. But, at the end, who was she… a mere nothing, in front of this Goddess. So, she clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails in her palms. Squeezed a smile from her face, bowed a little. Then she left.
~~
As for Aelin ;
Only she knew how terrified she was. Her heart was almost in her throat. Her back was drenched with terror and sweat. Her hands were clenching the cloud beneath her tightly.
And when she didn't get any response from that angel, she even bit her cheek tightly. Damn, her nervousness and her terror were at their peak.
She felt like she could have collapsed any moment. But luckily, when her spirit was about to give up. When she felt like she should just bow down and apologize. That lady left. She actually LEFT.
But Aelin didn't let her guard down. Only when she saw the magical light and all those little forms of magic. Only then she slouched back in the cloud, enjoying her little victory, smiling like a maniac, from ear to ear.
Hah!!! She did it. She actually did it. It's unbelievable. She was able to make that hypocritical beauty leave. YES! YES! YES! That's the spirit, Aelim Kim.
And she encouraged herself with lots of words. Once the encouragement was done. Then she began to check this area. She could tell that something was fishy.
After all, the guy was stuttering... In front of her… while explaining things. Especially that terrifying green creature. [Mother Nature! Aiye! Aelin, show little respect. It's our Mother Nature. After all.] So, she decided to leave the room to investigate.
And she jumped down only to find herself falling down and down and down. Just what the heck!!! She just jumped a little from her bed. But why does it feel like she was falling directly from the airplane, at an altitude of 60,000 feet or above?
Just what the heck? Will she die today? Just like that. Who died from jumping from the bed? Answer: No one. Then, how could she die just like that? Dear God, haven't you had enough fun with my life.
Or are you taking back my life, just like that!!! Just because I misbehaved in front of that lady. Please, I don't want to die. Please, God. [ And Aelin closed her eyes.]
[ She was falling down because she wasn't using her wings or her mind powers. Or, to be precise, she doesn't even know about the existence of wings or about her powers. So, tell me, how will she react after figuring out that she has wings]
