Sleep is valued because it removes most of the weariness to replace it with enthusiasm. Thus, Augusta shone with being ready to deal with whatever Astro was up to. Hours later, and after much chat occurring between her and Timis, he cautions of several things.
“ Astro liked Ci a great deal. Much like the other Primes, Astro understands that Ci and I are Ancients. It is known that Ci and I possess abilities that have no equal in this universe. Our whole sum is part of the Creator. Hence that makes hidden things. The entire idea that secrets lay within us is a magnet for those who seek all knowledge. Astro wants to access the celestial of what was. His specialness is the manipulation of universe energy, especially spirit essences. And if he could be more powerful than the others then ….” Informs Timis to clarify known truths.
Augusta then added, “ But everything ever said about the primordial era claims it does not exist any longer. So Astro cannot access any of it.”
“ Not true, it does but only one entity has access to its power. And, I am completely sure that she would happily use it to destroy Astro.” Timis resurrects a something that they both should know.
“ Oh? ” Queries Augusta as she tinkers with a celestial telescope.
“ There is no love lost betwixt your Fae wife and Astro. ” Answer Timis with an all too aware grin. “ As you know, Titania Fae has often clashed with him. Their differences of opinion on anything create drama.”
Augusta nods in agreement because she has experienced that when spending time with Titania Fae.
Timis shakes his head about the absurdity of such childishness betwixt Astro and the Fae Queen but he continues. ” Periodically that does become verbal battles for Titanian decades. Also, there are regular threats of destruction of anything cherished, with those threats occasionally carried out. They both additionally enjoy private wars via manipulating Mortals to fight on behalf of them.”
Augusta snickers, “ Well, she is a spitfire of a female. Keeps me on my toes. ”
“ Oh yes, uhm, she is good at that, very much so. She also asked something of you centuries ago. You unknowingly allowed her a right that no one may have…” Timis’s eyes grow in a storminess of contempt for one of her past misdeeds.
“ Yes, I know. “ Augusta quickly injects to push away a lecture on a true crime that she almost committed. “And, it was corrected in less than a second. My wife instantly pressed fingers to my lips as the first word formed. ”
“ Yes, she did.” Timis shakes his head knowing that at times Augusta behaves all too Mortal.
They coldly glare at each other while understanding what the topic could transform into. It is by far not the hundredth time to chat about the moment that is most unacceptable in Prime Elemental NeoImmortal`s life. So, Augusta’s eyes lower in accepting that Timis has a bit more to say.
“ She saved your ass. You were then told that you may never submit to anyone. No submission by you in any form. No kneeling, no one may have power over you, no control of you. You may not ever give your power or abilities to anyone.” Sternly supply Timis in watching her.
“ Okay, yes, I am aware and do say this each time that this is…” Exasperatedly replies Augusta rising from the chair in the Time Tower’s sitting room.
“ True,” Supplies Timis leaning back on the chair that he rests upon while adding a notation. “ Not that you can. But the moment that you would try to I would remove you from ever existing within this universe’s Time continuum. ”
“ Yes, yes…” Sounds from Augusta feeling severely saddened at being chastised.
Brooding in a shortness, disliking the topic brings her tiredness. Thus, she sit back down.
“ So in your opinion, I should not do anything to him. “ Questions Augusta in hearing the elevator door open.
Then stiletto footsteps are heard along the stone-tiled hall leading to the sitting room. Metal tapping tinkling with solidness, shoes so well known that those are a calling card. The footfalls are rhythmical as the female walks the long corridor. A room that is a small space with a thin wall separating it from the sitting room.
Sitting room, yes, a large room of three sofas, eleven comfortable chairs, a music center, a viewing screen, a table, end tables, etc. It is sort of an outsized living room setup.
“ Well, none of us Primes may truly hurt each other. But yes, he can be disciplined if he breaks the Creator’s laws. A sample is that Astro occasionally claims to be the Creator of Mortal worlds.” Timis adds this in an attempt to ease feelings of helplessness.
“ Astro is standing in your front yard.” Pointedly injects Tierra in entering while carrying a paper sack of bakery goodies, ” Astro smiles with glee, as though he is game playing again. Therefore I assume he is our villainous energy in this game of stolen gems that obviously aren’t stolen as we thought them to be. ”
“ And you bring me treats.” Excitedly replies Timis while rising to retrieve the large paper sack. He then begins to browse the freshly baked cookies. Upon doing so Timis adds, “ Our comrade of the celestial is the gem thief.”
Tierra instantly stares toward Augusta, “ It has been so long since Astro pulled anything. A few millennia or even more than that, since Astro has tried any criminal activity or meanness toward any of us. We each have figured that discipline for the prior crimes brought the needed effects. “
“ No, “ Replies Timis while he enthusiastically stuffs a brown nutty cookie into his mouth. “ No the discipline did not, nor ever does it work on him. “
“ Ah, I assume his jealousy is the motive. His hatred forms from jealousy and love for Ci.” Tierra sums up while walking over to Augusta. The Prime of Earth Elemental leans down to play a soft kiss on each of her sister’s facial cheeks. “ Targeting our newest family member. Uhm, should have expected it. But thought that he was over the game playing. ”
“ A thousand years of powerlessness seems unimportant to him. ” Convey Timis licking his lips while pulling another Nutter cookie from the bag of many cookies. “ How many? ” Arrives via a shiver of excited delight.
“ Two dozen for your pleasure Timi.” Tierra proclaims being pleased that the baked gift has the usual effect.
Then instantly thunder booms high in hardness within the lower celestial over the district of Creator Common. Hearing it has both the Time Prime and Earth Prime gasp with instantly locking stare on Augusta.
Stillness arrives as lethal full-throttle understanding that destruction is unleashed in the skies. Both of them watch in horror at what is coming. They know that sound for it existed eons ago. Back when Invi Cian Immortalis had endured enough of the games of Astro.
Cyclonic pressure sparked into four lightning-struck individualities. Each entwining into the other to bind into needle-like visible air energies. A solid spinning column of hurricane force destruction over a land target. Hell hath no fury like a Goddess harmed, that holds the moment as they stare at each other knowing what is happening.
Those angelic blue eyes hold piercing coldness, the smile thinly there as Augusta in fluidic motion rises from the chair. Towering in presence with calm breathing. Cocking that head high in pride while shaking wavy dark tresses in a non-verbally announcement of readiness. Augusta then gracefully walks over to a window. The one overlooking Timis`s front yard. Once there, she peers down at Astro who gazes toward the sky. He smilingly watches exactly what has been expected from her.
“ Playing his game changes nothing,” Leisurely warns Timis while enjoying munching another cookie.
“ He will vanish, my dear. A hole will remain with this tower destroyed. ” Tierra supplies in strolling up alongside Augusta to wrap an arm around her shoulders. “ We have all been there with this sort of thing. ”
“ Yes, plus that plan he has cannot be stopped. Thus, this display you make is pointless.” Provides Timis who makes directions to a tea service set on a nearby end table.
Augusta folds her arms across her breasts in a show of wanting to defy what is mentioned. The greatest of disdain locked in a wrathful stare shot toward Astro. The mind collects that as truth, that this is pointless. Pointless because of the earlier statement of not being able to hurt each other. As she decides this to be fact Augusta realizes that harming the tower is not necessary. Hence the celestial typhoon hurricane must be vanquished.
With that thought a sudden slick striking zephyric sound sizzles through the sky like a blade. Then a spontaneous torrential rainstorm drums the atmosphere and landscape.
“ Our brothers are here. Four to one, ” Joyfully proclaims Tierra as Augusta growls in annoyance.
She turns to glare at Tierra for insinuating that males needed to save the moment. A moment that she wants as a warning shot to a beastly Immortal. Angry, anger, it stirs high in needing to change direction.
Tierra senses this, so she creates clarification, “ Astro wishes to taunt you. It is not about anything else. If he knew of me being here, he would have left. But, I portal unto the main floor when bringing the cookies. From there, I saw him when I was peeking out one of the windows.”
