But before Agni could react, he get two fierce gazes of the Universe. Well, a Phoenix with Turquoise eyes, which always carries the falmes of fires in it. And The Great Dietiness, whose pitch black shinning eyes, which showcase the abyss of darkness in them. Both landed at Agni .
Making it almost impossible for him to even breath.What did he do wrong? Why was he being stare at by these two fellows at the same time?
He might be many things, but still at the end of the day, he was a mere diety, with low resistance to the force he was feeling at the moment.
Can't someone rescue him from his doom? But no one, literally no one. None of his so-called brother, was even daring to stare at him, much less they call this disaster upon themselves.
Only then Agni conclude, that he was staying with bunch of cowards, including him.
Luckily, Aelin spoke at the moment ; " I have been summoned by Lord Chandra and Lady Athena for the dinner meal."
Everyone; "..."
What the Heavens?
Prithvi, who expect her to attack his men the first thing, the moment she entered, couldn't get how exactly she could be so-calm. She was summoned by the very person, she hated the most.
Shouldn't she do from anything to everything to avoid that place and person.
" If you don't want to go, then no one will force you to." He ended up saying. After all, she might be same as before. But he could feel, she has somehow changed from her previous self. How? Why? Don't know.
Even now, rather then causing a ruckus, she was here informing him or more to be like telling him.
" We have been summoned, too." Celeana added, staring in the direction of Devmaya then at His Dietiship.
Only then he get the gist of the situation. With Aelin's status, she can turn a deaf ear. But her two besties can't. So, his father really wants to do from anything to everything to see him.
Not just he summon Aelin, but her weakness too.
" What do you want?" He asked next. After all, if he covers up for her friends Then, her friends families an planets will falls in grave situation. After all, offending former Dietiness isn't ideal thing to do.
" To enure the safety and security of their people and them. And to pay them a visit with you." Fine Aelin was Hella nervous. She might want to neglect it, but this fellow indeed is the most dangerous fellow of the universe.
Playing games with him, it could be gravely dangerous. She wanted to analyze her enemy, to focus on both strength and weaknesses of This Lady Athena.
So, that she could avenge for her benefactor and her species.
Prithvi couldn't help but stare at her. Well, it was a friendly gaze, but it lasted way too long, making Aelin's heart to feel like it will burst out at any moment.
After all, she was planning to use him to get close to Athena.
After few some minutes, he retract his gaze back from her, then give one glance to Agni, which says 'All of you, get lost, right away.'
Then stare back at her. She didn't understand for a minute, but then when only Pithvi and Aelin left in the Grand Room, she finally understood.
Fine, he is The Great Dietiship. So, reading her thoughts was damn easy. He couldn't believe she finally wanted to do something, to get justice, to avenge for her species and of course to use him as her shield and sword.
He had actually waited 500 years, for this day to finally come. Well, he believes in justice,too. And he knows what Lady Athena did was wrong. So, he will do from anything to everything to get Aelin justice.
The reason, why till now Lady Athena is living quite well, happy, healthy and wealthy life. Because he wants this Phoenix to pay her back for her sin. Or else, it would have taken just a moment for him to kill that person.
He was waiting for this day. From last 500 years. That one day, she will stop acting recklessly. She will become mature. She will gain back the control of her senses. She will act smartly. She won't let her anger drive her in . But she can use her anger as her weapon.
What's more, she was even using him. Hehe!!! He was more than happy. But, he still maintain his so called reputation and face and asked : " Are you sure, you want to face that Lady?"
As expected, she couldn't help but feel spellbound, while freezing to her spot. What? He wants to warn her? Huh!!!
She just raised her eyebrow in return.
" I mean, are you really ready to face your culprits, with a smile plastered on your face?" He elaborated.
After all, she just can't go and kill. That won't be an accurate punishment for Athena. She should know how to torture, how to make that Athena beg for her death.
" It's not something new." She rpelied nonchalantly. As Aelin Kim, she has done this more often. Be it about her family or Ashoka, who act like they love her. But are truly damn selfish.
And something ping in his heart. After all, she has done many face-off with this guy, just to destroy the heaveners. Yet, everytime it became a century old match, with a tie.
Yep, she has been all alone till now. But now, no more.
" Then, Your Dietiship would love to accompany you. As for those sidekicks of yours. Don't worry, they will be safe, along with their entire species.
One more thing, Your Lordship would like to remind you. You are not allowed to kill anyone." He added. [ Well, he wanted to add no harm, no injury policy too. But he knows that's impossible.]
And a cold, undeattached smirk appear on Phoenix's angelic face. So, he knows what her motive is. Interesting.
" Got it." After spating the words, she left the room , without sparing another glance to this guy. Fine, this girl is full of fire and fury.
He just have to turn her fire and fury into her strongest weapon.
