Silence allows Augusta to become fully awake. Then when she stirs into standing a query, “ Where are we? ”
“ Uhm, we might be six hours from the Black Sea and portal creating, ” Breaze replies sounding uncertain.
“ So approximately four hours to old Sokhumi? ” Augusta assumes to want an estimation for planning.
“ Possibly, but it may take another hour. Or maybe two hours to safely do portal creating. ” Added Breaze to clarify, “ And, according to those paper maps you sent a few years ago, the place is now known as Dioscurias. ”
“ So there will be dawn happening. And we might be spotted by Pyrrhic forces. As for my sleep, it could happen after teleportation via the portal. It is currently approximately ten-something with seven hours until dawn. ” Augusta asks hoping for only a little wait to open a portal.
“ True, about sleep. As for Astro’s minions discovering us… it may not happen. But yes, most likely we could be. There are several regiments located along the Black Sea.” Relays as Breaze`s best guess.
Then pondering it more Breaze continues, “ We do require stopping for food. Plus, I will need a short rest. You could use a bath and meditation to help you focus. So sleep has to happen before dawn.”
A sigh of wishing that her bio-gen sleep was not irritating at times. Then Augusta sits thinking for long moments while they high-speedly fly through the night sky.
“ Years ago Timis said that Astro has no morals about destroying Mortals. ” Augusta claims as they pass through several large clouds that create a chilly feeling.
“ Most Immortals do not. ” Breaze supplies as his collected knowledge about powerful entities, “ Many Immortals believe that anything less than an Immortal is a toy. ”
“ But my siblings do not think that. ” Assumes Augusta because she has noticed that the three Primes Elementals respect all life.
“ True of them and you. But that is because each of you is a thread of living energy directly from the Creator. ” Furthers Breaze in assisting to understand why Astro is as he is. “ And, in case you are curious, no entity other than you four has that connection. ”
“ I remember Timis saying something about that. Brother told me that Prime Masters are not the same as we elementals.” Augusta claims this as she spies a largely populated northern area of many lights below them.
“ True. ” Shares Breaze who constantly inspects the land beneath to be sure of no incoming enemies.
With a sigh of boredom about dealing with Astro, Augusta adds, “ It is odd that those of us who are an actual Goddess and a God do not manipulate to self-benefit. But Astro, Llum, Dema and occasionally Argos do use the titles in being greedy. ”
“ Would hardly say Llum and the Angelic High Council are greedy. “ Counters Breaze because he has a soft spot for Angels.
“ Then you did not understand Llum’s involvement with Alyssia Gregarious during her life. He illegally collected all of her belongings and body. He burnt them in holy fire. Additionally, he ordered the eradication of the Paleo and Telcite angelic bloodlines. All of the properties and belongings of those families were possessed quickly by Llum. “ Augusta conveys as she notices a large dark collective ascending from the ground in the near distance.
“ Uhm, yes that was strange behaviour a couple hundred years ago.” Agrees the Draconian.
“ Is it one or multiple? ” Query Augusta knowing that Breaze has seen the lift off of entities spotted below. “ What are the directions? And elevation? ”
“ My eyes spy five. Four are lower flight paths of the four corners of the directional compass. Number five is coming up, sky compass. ” He worriedly answers with him changing flight by going farther upward into denser clouds.
“ So the fifth is coming toward us. ” Augusta asks wanting the reassurance of preparation knowledge.
“ Not necessarily but time will tell. “ Breaze then refocuses his eyes to watch the fifth as it seems to be headed more upward into their cloud level. “ Most manipulated Terran Animalia Dragons do not ascend to cloud level without a rider. Primal instinct is apex predatory. That DNA command is neurologically blocked. Riderless has these Animalias following an indoctrinated structured surveillance. ”
“ Thus, a rare deviation and this is a scheduled security check. ” summarizes Augusta.
“ I hope so and yes, it seems that way. “ Ponderously replies the studious Dragon
“ I do not want to hurt our kin. “ Asserts Augusta in not wanting to end a life.
“ I know,” The loyal royal Draconian gruffy states.
“ Lessening their air will get us a clandestine getaway. Less air brings dizziness and a need to land. It might cause plummeting too. I will do that if needed. I hope it does not damage them. ” Augusta shares as the alternative to what could be violence between Dragons.
“ They have chosen! ” Sharply declares Breaze furthering it with a harsh tone. “ All Dragon blooded instinctually serve Queen Gracio. Even you, who is more than the epic of Dragon, even you wish to kneel and obey our queen. You do because of the one speck of Draconian DNA. These Animalia should have chosen death at the first opportunity. They are no longer our kin. Our queen and your friend commanded it as that. ”
And, as it is heard Augusta notes that the fifth Dragon seems to have spotted them.
“ Incoming! “ is swiftly announced.
Breaze immediately tries to have them more deeply hidden. He hovers in the denser clouds as he shares a decision. “ It would have seen me, not you. So if it continues directly for us… off you get. You be Air, you be soul. I will lure it away. Otherwise, every Dragon squad within the entirety of the Black Sea region will be sky-born within minutes due to telepathy. ”
“ Okay, we meet at Kodori River outside of Gvandra. That is… if that is Bombai in the northern distance. You can sleep at Gvandra. ” Clarifies Augusta in planning to make this quicker than Breaze wants.
“ It is.” Breaze supplies while feeling Augusta hold his mane while lifting off his backside. “ I will do high speed up to the lower side of the tropopause to ditch it. There is less breathable air as we go. Doing that forces exhaustion with a stop of the chasing. ”
One hand grips the fullness of Breaze`s silken mane. The two seem connected by an invisible thread as speed advances. Air Goddess speeding alongside an alpha male Dragon. It is peaceful as he closes his eyes with their hearts beating in oneness.
“ I promise a short leave, my liege. ” Breaze promises with beginning to rise from the heavy cloud cover.
Then the release of his mane as her heart beats wishes for his safety. Floating there soon she vanishes after mentally commanding a sudden arrival of high winds.
