Chereads / Tale of a Phoenix / Chapter 14 - Sky

Chapter 14 - Sky

Aelin kept on talking and pleading to God. While her eyes were shut close. After all, who wanted to die? Twice. Naah. She definitely doesn't have that much courage. 

~~

While Aelin was busy with her pleading thing. She felt something much stronger, like an iron wall, struck to her front body, escaping her face.

And she wanted to cry. Damn, did she fall over the building, or hit the ground, or the roof of the airplane or something. It hurts. Her whole body, chest, tummy, and legs were hurting from this sudden collision. 

But she didn't have the guts to open her eyes, and see her upcoming death.

"Open your eyes, you idiot." And she heard that warm, gentle but scowling voice. As if the owner really wants to beat her to death, with his own hands. 

Well, who else it could be, except The Great Deitiness, Prithvi Raj. The person, who didn't even have time to blink, all no-thanks to the work at hand,  but who currently was here becoming her saviour. 

Like seriously, if this news spread out, then The Heaveners and Hell-residents would die from laughter. One was the protector of This Universe. Another was The Destruction of This UNIVERSE. 

Yet, they both are entangled in such a situation. He really wanted to scold her to death. But the moment he saw those, terrified, turquoise blue flamed-eyes of his fireangel. All the words disappeared from his mind and throat.

And people say he was cruel. Seriously. According to what angle, or on what basis or under what thesis, prove that!!!

~~

"A-Are you alright?" He asked in his soft, melodic voice. In order to ease her up from the sudden fright she might have gotten. After all, only now he realizes the seriousness behind the fact. That SHE HAS LOST HER MEMORY. 

He has to bring her memory back. The sooner, the better. But if, next time, he wouldn't watch on her and she did something stupid like this again. 

She stared at him. Then in the background. It was SKY.  They were in the SKY. How was it even possible? She watched downwards, only to hug him with a death grip. As if the moment she leaves him, she will die. 

Well, basically, it's a fact. If she left him, then the gravity will attract her again. And then she was bound to touch the ground. Until and unless she used her wings. About whose existence, she still was clueless.

~~

"Am I dead?" She asked the first question that came to her mind. That iron wall, did she touch that iron wall and die? 

"Do you want to die that eagerly?" He asked, but all thanks to the previous lesson. His voice was just a little strict. Just a little. 

When she heard that, she shook her head vigorously, to deny. After all, only she knows how much she wants to survive in this World. 

"Then, many, many congratulations. You are still alive." He said, in the same tone, humans announce the jackpot to the winner. 

And she ended up smiling too. This guy was funny. [ Ah! Trust me, Aelin, only you can say that. As for the rest. Since, they don't have a death wish. So, they won't.] 

"But… But we are in the Sky." She stated the fact, too. After all, it was just once when she was scared of him. And now see, she was already hugging him like a koala. It's just like, this person acts scary, but he isn't, actually. 

[ All those, who got tortured to death, by him, personally -_- -_-]

[All those who have seen his worst side -_- -_- ]

[All those who died begging mercy from him -_- -_-] 

[Author -_- -_-] 

( One shouldn't judge others just like that. See, she got him completely wrong. -_-) 

He watched the sky, too. Luckily, they haven't reached human territory yet. Or else, this century would be fully covered with myths and legends of fairies. Aiye. 

It already took him some centuries to settle the matter of Earth. Another headache, all no-thanks to Aelin. 

"Isn't it beautiful?" He asked in the form of a reply. Come on, how was he supposed to explain it to the Goddess turned Human that it's normal. 

And the problem is that he couldn't even lie. Aiyo. Why Deities? Why? Why can't angels lie? This is so unfair. 

"It is. But, why and how are we here?" And the question he dreaded the most came into light. 

"Well. It's a long story. And there's only one way, you will understand that." Prithvi muttered, more to himself than to her. Well, that's the only way. 

But the problem is he doesn't want to force her. Naah. Not even for her painful memories. After all, he wants her to submit to him fully, without any pressure or any obligation. 

He doesn't want to steal her 'first time' in exchange for memories. Naah! He knows she will hate him more after getting the memories because of that. 

"What is it?" She asked in all confusion. She could see that they were floating in the sky. While she could hear the ruffling sounds of wings. But neither could she see any birds nor any creature with wings. 

From where that ruffling sound was coming from. And what does this guy mean? She was all confused. 

"Well, you see. Only a doctor can explain it to you. So, let me take you to it. Okay. Hold me tight. Alright!" And Prithvi ordered her, who was hugging him like a koala already. 

Then she saw them getting upwards, more and more upwards. She could feel the pressure, temperature, and the speed at which the Air was falling on her face, that it might cut her flesh completely. 

She experienced it all. And she could tell at that moment. Something big has happened in her life. That, she wasn't what she used to be.

But the question is what, how and why!!!

~~

In the middle of the flight,

"Stop," Aelin shouted in her meek voice. After all, she was getting scared. What's more, she was flying. FLYING. For god sake. That's more than enough to kill her a thousand times. 

Prithvi, who had turned into Aelin's carriage, stopped, stared at her pale face. [ Come on, even as a human, she has never visited amusement parks to experience such things. So, it was kind of her first time. 

And, I am sure. Everyone knows their first time, whether they screamed or not. Whether they fainted at the spot. In those rides.]
