"His Great Deitiness summoned you." Agni spat the words, then left. And Celaena was all smiles.
She followed God Agni and God Vayu, to the Grand Hall of Throne, where His Great Deitiness, was sitting gracefully in his throne, dealing with the necessary matters.
"Celaena greets His Holiness once again." Celaena bowed again, crouching down on the floor of the clouds, once again.
"Hmmm... Take care of her." He simply spat the word, in his usual iciness, intimidating voice. But, the word Her, was so damn gentle, that it clearly expressed his attitude towards Aelin.
"This lowly one, will try her best." After saying this sentence, with all the purity, all the gentleness. She stood up , stared at him for a good few moments and then left for the Barrage Area. To find her. Aelin.
~~
But as soon as Celaena left. Prithvi stared at the nothingness, for a few minutes. Then ordered Aden, Riev and Raven to bring Akshura, before the stars started spreading all over.
And as expected, The Grand Hall of Throne was filled with deadly silence once again. Just why!!! What is so good about Phoenix to begin with? She only knows how to burn people and things.
Yet, their deity wants to avenge her. Like seriously. Could things be more chaotic!!! Well, they are. How? Aelin will come after them, to punish them sooner too.
The very person to whom Prithvi is avenging.
~~
Celaena reached the Barrage. It was actually the South Hall of The Barrage. Exclusively reserved for The Great Deitieness and his followers, only.
And Aelin definitely was the exception here. And so was Celeaena. Although she wasn't the only controller of water. She wasn't even the heir to the throne or something.
She was just some lowly water goddess, who found this One And Only Phoenix of This Entire Universe. Actually, to put it more accurately, Aelin had everything and everyone. But, she always wanted the life Celaena hates to her very core. That simple, ordinary life.
And now, when she lost her near and dear ones. Then, she just became The One And Only Phoenix in the Entire Universe. At least in this one.
~~
After all, According to Prophet Caudan's prophecy [An imaginary Prophet]. This World is so big, which carries many multiverses, many galaxies,many solar systems, countless stars and planets in it.
And there is 3.58 trillion km far away, resides another Universe.
Universe Drona. Where there exists creatures, all types of creatures.
So, maybe there might be Phoenixes in that universe too.
~~
Celaena wanted The Throne too. But she knows she lacks the ability. So, she always lived a sad, depressed, and humiliated life. And then she finds this source of fire. Aelin. And she becomes happy, for once in her life.
She really considered Aelin as her fire-sister. But then Prithvi came in between them. To be precise, it was Aelin, who brought the injured Prithvi, to their secret hideout. The hideout of Celaena and Aelin.
Then, with time she fell in love with Prithvi. But Prithvi fell for Aelin. So, Celaena couldn't help but drive the wedge in between them.
To her delight, they fought and fought. But no matter how much they fought, every time they ended up together in the end. Obviously, it pissed Celaena the most.
But she won't give up. She wanted Prithvi and she would get him, completely for herself. At all costs.
~~
Celaena reached Aelin's room. Then, she ended up staring at Aelin, who had fallen asleep. After all, Aelin had nothing else to do.
Not to mention that Prithvi had made her drunk the magical sleep potion. Actually, it wasn't for sleeping. But it will make the soul act like it is sleeping. But actually, it can hear and sense everything.
[ Indeed, how could he let this serpent take advantage of His Precious. So, he was all set to expose Celaena.]
(But Celaena was Celaena for a reason. If she won't recognise the presence of water herbs, on Aelin's body. Then, how could she deserve the title of Water Goddess?
And the main element of the sleeping potion was Akun, the herb, found only at the bottom of the deep Pacific ocean.
So, she understood what her lover had planned this time.)
Thus she acted innocently.
~~
"Aelin, how are you? I am sorry for not being able to pay a visit to you. You won't be angry at me, will you? It wasn't intentional at all. Trust me. I wanted to stay with you from the moment I heard you were injured."
"But, you know how The Great Deitiness's anger and protectiveness towards you is? And he unleashes his anger on me. So, I was a little late."
"But, don't worry, now I will take complete care of you till you become completely fine. Okay? Get well soon, Aelin." Celaena replied.
Aelin listened but wasn't able to open her eyes. She thought she must have been super tired, as she wasn't able to move even an inch.
{The Great Deitiness, who was listening from His Own Room, couldn't help but give a deep look, into nothingness. After all, he understood that Celaena had started her usual drama.}
So, he couldn't help but think of the one and only solution. Till now, he has endured her, because of Aelin. But, right now Aelin is prone to everything.
According to him, at present, she literally can't distinguish between Celaena's deep meaning words. But he does. Till now, he has allowed her to do whatever she wanted in her life. As he, himself, was busy with the matters of the Universe. And because of which, he committed the grave mistake. He left this water goddess, by his fireangel's side.
But now, he has to use this weapon of his.
~~
"Summon Devmaya." He ordered Vayu.
And Vayu shivered subconsciously. Because if Celaena is the tip of the iceberg, then Devmaya is the entire glacier. Another foe of Prithvi.
And just like Celaena, a good friend of Aelin. But she has always treated Aelin as The Precious Treasure, while treating Celaena as what those humans say, again, trash!!!
He knows Devmaya will never harm Aelin. And also keep Celaena in check.
