Chapter Six: Announcements at the Airagon
By mid-morning, when the air-sun was at its fullest and its air-rays were all over the air-skies, the Agents and Agentesses of the Airagon and Actors and Actoresses for the Airagon were above the Airagon and its air-isle announcing to all Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia what had happened at the ThroneAiria and its WhirlAiria, and the fates of the AirAgents and AirAgentesses and the Anti-AirAgents and Anti-AirAgentesses ⸺ both past and present, and the decisions they had taken at the Airagon especially concerning baby boy and baby girl AarryAir and AarrietAir, and baby beast-boy and baby beast-girl AarrybeastAir and AarrietbeastAir, as the respective new infant AirLight AirLord and AirLight AirLady and AirLight AirBeastlord and AirLight AirBeastlady.
They were also with the little, artificial, outdoorsy, air-magical and air-beast-magical sensed air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors which they were wearing and using to sense and sense-send their announcements, and which were the air-videoeyes and air-blepoeyes pairs, the air-audioears and air-akouoears pairs, the air-olfacionoses and air-myrizonoses, the air-gustomouths and air-geuomaomouths, the air-tangoskins and air-angizoskins, the air-temptoskins and air-aisthanomaoskins, and the air-putobrains and air-phroneobrains, which were feathered or plumed or winged or patagiumed on their sides.
They were either static, or slowly flying or gliding, or both, as they used the air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors ⸺ the seed air-videoeyes and air-blepoeyes were pairs of two eyes linked by a string, and worn on the eyes, in which they stared at as they spoke, and all other air-videoeyes and air-blepoeyes air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn on the eyes simultaneously saw them and heard them speak at the Airagon; the tasted air-gustomouths and air-geuomaomouths were mouths, worn on the mouths, which simultaneously spoke what they spoke, and all other air-gustomouths and air-geuomaomouths air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn on the mouths had the wearers simultaneously speak what they spoke, or speechlessly hear the mouths simultaneously speak what they spoke at the Airagon; the heared air-audioears and air-acouoears, which were pairs of two ears linked by a string, and worn on the ears, heard and listened what they said and the sounds they made, and all other air-audioears and air-acouoears air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn on the ears simultaneously heard and listened what they said and the sounds they made at the Airagon; the smelled air-olfacionoses and air-myrizonoses, which were noses, worn on the noses, sniffed, scented, and smelled them and the Airagon and its air-isle, and all other air-olfacionoses and air-myrizonoses air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn on the noses simultaneously scented and smelled them and all the scents and smells at the Airagon; the touched air-tangoskins and air-angizoskins were pieces of skins shaped as upward-pointing triangles bisected by horizontal lines, which were worn upon the skins, and all other air-tangoskins and air-angizoskins air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn upon the skins simultaneously touched them here at the Airagon; the feeled air-temptoskins and air-aisthanomaoskins were pieces of skins shaped as upward-pointing triangles bisected by horizontal lines, which were worn upon the skins felt them, and all other air-temptoskins and air-aisthanomaoskins air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn upon the skins simultaneously touched and felt them and their feelings here at the Airagon, and also felt their feelings of having lost the AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady, and the AirAngel AirLord and AirAngeless AirLady and AirAngel AirBeastLord and AirAngeless AirBeastLady, and of having had back baby boy and baby girl AarryAir and AarrietAir, and baby beast-boy and baby beast-girl AarrybeastAir and AarrietbeastAir, the respective new AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady, and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady; and the thinked air-putobrains and air-phroneobrains, which were brains, worn on the heads, heard their thoughts, and all other air-putobrains and air-phroneobrains air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs and worn on the heads simultaneously heard their thoughts here at the Airagon, and also heard their thoughts about the former and new AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady, and the AirAngel AirLord and AirAngeless AirLady and AirAngel AirBeastLord and AirAngeless AirBeastLady.
As such did the Agents and Agentesses of the Airagon and Actors and Actoresses for the Airagon used the Airagon's air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors to sense and sense-send their announcements to all the airers and aireresses and air-landers and air-landeresses and air-worlders and air-worlderesses and air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses, and air-beasters and air-beasteresses and air-beast-landers and air-beast-landeresses and air-beast-worlders and air-beast-worlderesses and air-beastwizarders and air-beastwizarderesses and air-beastwizards and air-beastwizardesses, as such that all the air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors of Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia which were air-magically and and air-beast-magically connected to the Airagon's sensed and sense-received the sent announcements.
Also, a few Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses were within the Airagon sensing and sense-sending their announcements through the large, artificial, indoorsy, air-magical and air-beast-magical air-sensorsensations which were the air-eyevisions pairs, the air-earauditions pairs, the air-noseolfactions, the air-mouthgustations, the air-skintactitions, the air-skinsomations, and the air-braincognitions, which were also feathered or plumed or winged or patagiumed on their sides; as they also made it possible for those airers and aireresses and air-landers and air-landeresses and air-worlders and air-worlderesses and air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses, and air-beasters and air-beasteresses and air-beast-landers and air-beast-landeresses and air-beast-worlders and air-beast-worlderesses and air-beastwizarders and air-beastwizarderesses and air-beastwizards and air-beastwizardesses who stayed indoors to sense and sense-receive the sent announcements through the air-sensorsensations.
By noon, the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses ended their sensing and sense-sending of the announcements, all satisfied that they had properly sensed and sense-sent their announcements throughout all the air and its air-land and air-world and its air and its air-beast-land and air-beast-world, and all sure that the announcements had been received by all those whose air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors were air-magically and air-beast-magically connected to theirs, as well as the air-sensorsensations.
The Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses who were outdoors then took away their air-sentiosensors and air-aisthanomaiosensors and tucked them in their robes' pockets, and saw, to their expectation, that they were surrounded on all sides of the air-isle by air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women, and their air-boys and air-girls and air-beast-boys and air-beast-girls ⸺ which was usual whenever they were sensing and sense-sending an extremely important announcement, whom they knew came following their sensing and sense-receiving of the announcements, and whom they knew came mostly to see if they could have a glimpse of the new baby boy AirLighter AirLord and baby girl AirLighteress AirLady and baby beast-boy AirLighter AirBeastlord and baby beast-girl AirLighteress AirBeastlady. They were almost all upon their flying and gliding airvehicles which either slowly flew or glided all about the air-isle, or were stationed. They were in groups and excited and agitated as they discussed about the Airagon's announcement as the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses saw them, and saw them too impatiently awaiting upon them to show them the new AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady, though they the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses had in their announcements added that they wouldn't do so as they justified that it wasn't yet time for them to see the new AirAgents and AirAgentesses, and knew they wouldn't for now fulfil this request of them, especially as they were still fresh in their grief.
As the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses began swooping down, the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women massly exited their airvehicles, and in their bamileke-traditional, adorned, white cloaks, robes, gowns, cloaks and coats and waistcoats and trousers or skirts and neckties, and hoods and hats, and boots and shoes; all flew and glided towards them, and began calling out to them.
"Is it true that the AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady are no more with us?" The air-men and air-women asked.
"Is it true that the AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady are no more with us?" The air-beast-men and air-beast-women simultaneously asked.
"Is it true that the AirAngel AirLord and AirAngeless AirLady are no more with us?" The air-men and air-women asked.
"Is it true that the AirAngel AirBeastLord and AirAngeless AirBeastLady are no more with us?" The air-beast-men and air-beast-women simultaneously asked.
"Is it true that they did not make it out of the WhirlAiria?" They asked, and asked many more, and also asked about the Anti-AirDarker Anti-AirLord and Anti-AirDarkeress Anti-AirLady, and Anti-AirDarker Anti-AirBeastLord and Anti-AirDarkeress Anti-AirBeastLady, and the Anti-AirDemon Anti-AirLord and Anti-AirDemoness Anti-AirLady, and Anti-AirDemon Anti-AirBeastLord and Anti-AirDemoness Anti-AirBeastLady.
"It is true," the Archmaster, overwhelmed by the multitude of questions, spoke, "and all is true as you sensed and sense-received the announcements we sensed and sense-sent to you."
"No AirLighterer and AirLightereress and AirBeastLighterer and AirBeastLightereress, nor AirAngeler and AirAngeleress and AirBeastAngeler and AirBeastAngeleress had ever been heard of disappearing in any battle of all the battles ever fought between the Air and the Anti-Air!" One air-man threw out, and it was assentingly chorused by the others.
"No," the Archmaster agreed. "But it has happened this time." He said in an unargumentative tone. "The WhirlAiria did not return the AirLighterer and AirLightereress and AirBeastLighterer and AirBeastLightereress, nor did it return the AirAngeler and AirAngeleress and AirBeastAngeler and AirBeastAngeleress, but returned only the babies and beast-babies, and we waited, but the WhirlAiria simply shut and sealed after that, as well as the CrownAiria, and also the ThroneAiria."
"If they couldn't make it out of the WhirlAiria, does it mean that they are dead?" Another air-man asked.
"We don't really know what unfolded in the WhirlAiria," the Archmaster patiently said, "as it is impossible to know what goes on in there, as it is only the AirAgents and AirAgentesses who are the only ones who can go in there that come out to tell what unrolled in there."
The Archmaster continued. "But we believe that the AirLighterer and AirLightereress and AirBeastLighterer and AirBeastLightereress, and AirAngeler and AirAngeleress and AirBeastAngeler and AirBeastAngeleress are no more, as they didn't make it out of the WhirlAiria which shut, and we all know what the shutting of the WhirlAiria, and the closing of the CrownAiria, and of the ThroneAiria, and their disappearance means." He said this last as he sharply gazed at the crowd.
"Can we see the new AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady?" The air-men and air-women immediately asked.
"Can we see the new AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady?" The air-beast-men and air-beast-women simultaneously asked.
"Air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women, air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses and air-beastwizarders and air-beastwizarderesses and air-beastwizards and air-beastwizardesses," the Archmaster heavily said again, "you cannot see the new AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady as announced by us for said safety reasons, as they shan't be seen for now."
"WE WANT TO SEE THEM!" Many in the crowd chorused as they scatteredly flew and glided.
"THEY ARE OUR AIRLIGHTER AIRLORD AND AIRLIGHTERESS AIRLADY."
"THEY ARE OUR AIRLIGHTER AIRBEASTLORD AND AIRLIGHTERESS AIRBEASTLADY."
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE THEM!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRAGENTS AND AIRAGENTESSES!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRLIGHTER AIRLORD AND AIRLIGHTERESS AIRLADY."
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRLIGHTER AIRBEASTLORD AND AIRLIGHTERESS AIRBEASTLADY."
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRLIGHTERER AND AIRLIGHTERERESS!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRBEASTLIGHTERER AND AIRBEASTLIGHTERERESS!"
And in a great clamour.
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE THE AIRSON AND AIRDAUGHTER!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE THE AIRBEASTSON AND AIRBEASTDAUGHTER!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE THE AIRBOY AND AIRGIRL!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE THE AIRBEASTBOY AND AIRBEASTGIRL!"
And in a greatest clamour.
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRSAVIOURS AND AIRSAVIOURESSES!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRSAVERS AND AIRSAVERESSES!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRHEROES AND AIRHEROINES!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRHEIRS AND AIRHEIRESSES!"
"WE CAME HERE TO SEE OUR AIRHERITORS AND AIRHERITORESSES!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THEM!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE AIRSAVIOURS AND AIRSAVIOURESSES WHO SAVED US FROM THE ANTI-AIRSACRIFICATORS AND ANTI-AIRSACRIFICATORESSES!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE AIRSAVERS AND AIRSAVERESSES WHO SAVED US FROM THE ANTI-AIRSACRIFICERS AND ANTI-AIRSACRIFICERESSES!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE AIRHEROES AND AIRHEROINES WHO SAVED US FROM THE ANTI-AIRCOWARDS AND ANTI-AIRCOWARDESSES!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE AIRHEIRS AND AIRHEIRESSES WHO SAVED US FROM THE ANTI-AIRUSURPERS AND ANTI-AIRUSURPERESSES!"
"WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE AIRHERITORS AND AIRHERITORESSES WHO SAVED US FROM THE ANTI-AIRUSURPATORS AND ANTI-AIRUSURPATORESSES!"
"THE AIRAGON CANNOT HIDE THEM FROM US!"
"THE AIRAGON CANNOT TAKE THEM AWAY FROM US!"
The air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women and their air-boys and air-girls and air-beast-boys and air-beast-girls all shouted and screamed these and much more.
The Archmaster then exhausted by all of this and more, soared up above all the crowd and bellowed, "MY DEAREST AIR-MEN AND AIR-WOMEN AND AIR-BEAST-MEN AND AIR-BEAST-WOMEN AND AIR-WIZARDERS AND AIR-WIZARDERESSES AND AIR-WIZARDS AND AIR-WIZARDESSES AND AIR-BEASTWIZARDERS AND AIR-BEASTWIZARDERESSES AND AIR-BEASTWIZARDS AND AIR-BEASTWIZARDESSES!" and the voices lowered, and in a lowered voice he continued, "my dear air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women and air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses and air-beastwizarders and air-beastwizarderesses and air-beastwizards and air-beastwizardesses, you shall see your AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady as we announced to you."
"But you shan't see them for now, for it isn't yet the appropriate time to show them openly, and for them to be seen as such, since they are still but small ones and defenceless, and should be seen safe from any lurking Anti-Air that might act against them, and we are sure that such Anti-Air actors and allies are ever-present and everywhere amongst us of Air, as well as here, and as well as anywhere where they could hear that the babies AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady and beast-babies AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady could be, if they as so heard of such a place."
"We the AirAgents and AirAgentesses' AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses will live with them somewhere safe and secret, and also secret to the Airagon as you heard in the announcements, and no one shall know where we will be living with them, save for us the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses who will be living with them, and will live with them till when we are sure they are able to defend themselves, and then we will present them to you."
The authoritative and definite tone with which the Archmaster spoke to the crowd quelled the crowd's rowdiness as such that when he finished speaking, the crowd was silenter. They then calmly and orderly spoke about many more sensed and sense-sent by the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses in the announcements, and the Agents and Agentesses and Actors and Actoresses clarified the crowd on all and everything, and after left them after telling them of many more important matters to be dealt with as concerning the AirLighterer and AirLightereress and AirBeastLighterer and AirBeastLightereress, and swooped down to the Airagon and into it, while the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women and their air-boys and air-girls and air-beast-boys and air-beast-girls flew and glided out and away from the Airagon's air-isle.
