" Celestia someone wants to meet you." Neylar said. She rubbed eyes and moved to the bathroom to dress up. The place was silent and she walked out. Indeed someone wanted to see her and she couldn't help but smile.
"Regal it's good to see you." She hugged the man. "I don't know what you plan on doing but take care of yourself or Zeus would have my head." He eyed the small woman.
"That old man is annoying." She said. "You and your brother should watch the way you address him." He glared at her.
She flipped him off and walked to the soldiers behind him. "It's good to see you all my children. I hope you didn't slack off." She beamed.
"You're embarrassing yourself Celestia." He sighed rubbing his eyes. "Anyways have fun." She eyed the dark haired man. His green eyes look sullen and his lips were pulled to a thin line.
His armor gleamed under the sun. "You look like crap Regal let's get you something to eat." She pulled the large man to the familiar dinning hall.
She paused when she noticed she had company. All the Arcahangles seated with Azriel . They paused when she entered.
She ignored them and pulled Regal to a seat rather harsly." Celestia I have work back in Olympus." He said but she was having none of it.
"You should take care of yourself more. Maybe I should talk to Zeus about you guys having breaks." She stuffed his plate with food and he looked around with a flushed cheek.
"You don't want me to feed you right?"She sat beside biting an apple. He shook his head and began chatting with her.
" You know Mikah is engaged. "He said and she choked on the milk she was drinking." Are you alright? "He wiped the milk on her cheek and patted her back as she coughed. They heard a bang on the table from Azriel's side. They watched him cautiously.
He pat her back until she calmed down. "Are you serious? Please tell me you're joking." She gained her breath. He gave her an amused look. "Don't tell me you have a crush on him or something." Before she could answer they heard another bang. This time it was her turn to scowl at Azriel.
"What's wrong with you anyway?" She asked him. "I saw an insect crawling so I killed it." He lied. Mikasa and the rest gave him an are you kidding me look.
"Whatever." She muttered under her breath and turned to Regal. "And I do not have a crush on him. He was good looking but he was my friend." She munched her apple casually.
"To who though." She asked. "Aphrodite." He said and she choked again this time hard. "Please if you keep doing that Zeus will have my head." Regal patted her back. She coughed and he hugged her patting her back.
Azriel scowled at them. How audacious. He thought. "What's wrong loverboy? Are you afraid he might steal her." Eyrx teased him. He turned and glared at him.
"I'm fine now Regal." She mumbled in his chest. "You're scaring me now." He held her shoulders giving her a light shake.
"You're joking right? Aphrodite and Mikah." She asked and he shook his head. "Wow, I didn't see that coming. She didn't even tell me. Well am just confused. Like how?"She asked taking another apple.
" Are you asking me?Think about your love life. "He whispered." It's fine the way it is."She said.
" As if I would believe that."He said.
" What did you say? "She asked him. "Nothing." He replied.
"You look better than before." She pulled his head looking at his features. She heard a loud bang this time she heard a crack.
Azriel looked angry and he happened to be looking in her direction. Regal was obvious to everything.
"Are you insane? What's with you. You've been banging the table alot. Don't give me the excuse it's an insect." She glared at him.
"How mature of you Your Grace." She said in a taunting tone making sure to emphasize the last part.
"I'll get going My Lady." He said feeling tension from the two. "Don't worry it's a natural occurrence for the two." Eyrx eyed the helpless man. Regal could feel her rage and his clashing.
He flinched when Azriel stood up and glared at him. Celestia stood up and glared at him protecting him from Azriel's grace. "If you have a problem deal with me not him Your Grace." She said again.
Azriel hated the way she spoke in that taunting manner. She was trying to push his buttons but he wouldn't give her that satisfaction. He didn't understand why he was acting like that.
"Celestia felt a nudge on her leg. She looked down to see Neylar staring with a disapproving look. 'Be mature Celestia.'
'Why should I. He's the one who has been acting like a brat all this time.' She retorted.
'Apologize.' Neylar said." What! I'm doing it!" She yelled at Neylar.
'Now Celestia.' Neylar growled. "No way Neylar!"She rolled her eyes at her.
" Why should I eve-"She stopped when she felt a prick like she was being stabbed. The table was quiet at the sight. Neylar's tail stabbed Celestia in the chest.
'Now Celestia.' She growled. Celestia shook her head. Neylar pushed her tail piercing her heart and she gasped.
"My lady!" Regal said but Neylar growled at him
'Celestia with this I place a commandment spell on you. You have to respect Azriel till I see you're heeding to this commandment, it can't be broken.' Celestia eyes widened.
"You can't do that. I didn't teach you." She said. She was amazed how she was able to speak.
Neylar ripped the tail from Celestia's heart feeling guilty she had to do that. Celestia bent her body on the table gasping for breath.
"My lady are you alright." Regal tapped her back this time Azriel did nothing but watched Neylar's guilty look.
"I'm fine just leave me alone for a bit." She mumbled now leaning in her seat. She felt the torn tissues rejoin and gasped at the sudden pain.
"I hate you Neylar." She said with her eyes closed. Neylar whined with her head down. "My lady are you okay?" Regal eyed the blood stained clothe.
"Am good it's nothing really, this won't kill me, not yet." She said and opened her eyes.
"You! Am disappointed in you Neylar and you can you stop acting like a brat already." She pointed to each of them.
She felt a sting in her heart and coughed out blood. "Celestia you're not okay." Regal said worriedly. "Am good just that someone placed a commandment spell on me so am tied to him." She said feeling another sting and coughed blood.
She wiped it quickly. "If you really want me to die before me time you could have done it but slicing my head Neylar." She whispered so only Neylar could hear.
"Purge." She glanced at Neylar.
Neylar glanced down accepting her punishment. She felt her self burn into nothing but ashes and she was brought again and burnt. Each cycle bringing pain to her.
Celestia watched with dead eyes. She kept repeating the word until Regal had enough and held her wrist. "It's enough My Lady."
She sighed. "Enough. Reborn." She said.
Neylar returned to herself. "Am sorry Master."
"It's okay you're forgiven but don't do that again." She glared at her.
"I can't promise that." Neylar rolled her eyes at her. Celestia smiled and carried her in her arms.
'I placed your toy in your heart to.'
She nodded her head. "What?" She asked them. "Weren't you just about to murder her some moments ago." Stephen said.
"I didn't punish her well, I was being lenient. Anyways she placed my toy in my heart." She smiled.
"Regal looks like you have to leave soon."She said." Take care of yourself My Lady."He bowed and left the room.
" I'll go and evaluate the soldiers now."She said. She glared at Azriel.
"We're not done yet." Just as she said that she coughed blood.
"I'll get used to that." She muttered.
Azriel smiled at her. Even there was a commandment spell on her she was still defying him. He felt better knowing his source of anger had left.
