PART II
Chapter Ten: The Airsleys and the Aireasleys
Earth, which was the true human land and world of the Other human air-humans who were the true humans, and the Other beast air-beasts who were the true birds, was made up of seven continents which were the northern NorthEarth, the eastern EastEarth, the southern SouthEarth, the western WestEarth, the central CentreEarth, the radial or diametral RadiusEarth or DiameterEarth, and the circumferential or perimetral CircumferenceEarth or PerimeterEarth; and all were the circular CircularEarth.
The Elementias and ElementLandias and ElementWorldias elements and their element-lands and element-worlds and their ElementBeastias and ElementBeastLandias and ElementBeastWorldias elements and their element-beast-lands and element-beast-worlds was also found on this Earth in secret and on a secret side, and on all of its seven continents.
Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia air and its air-land and air-world and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia air and its air-beast-land and air-beast-world, as part of the Elementias and ElementLandias and ElementWorldias and their ElementBeastias and ElementBeastLandias and ElementBeastWorldias, was also found on this Earth in secret and on a secret side, and on all of its seven continents.
On this Earth's Elementias and ElementLandias and ElementWorldias and their ElementBeastias and ElementBeastLandias and ElementBeastWorldias lived primarily and majoritarily the Other human element-humans and the Other beast element-beasts, and lived minoritarily the other element-beings and element-breeds of element-humans and element-beasts.
On the Earth's Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia lived primarily and majoritarily the Other human air-humans and the Other beast air-beasts, and lived minoritarily the other air-beings and air-breeds of air-humans and air-beasts.
These element-humans and element-beasts lived in clanny and coveny and castey and classy colonies and communities which were in hamlets — element-hamlets, which were all as the ElementHamlets.
These element-hamlets were large and maxi hamlets made up of seven little and mini element-hamlets which were the northern earth-hamlets all as the EarthHamlet, the eastern air-hamlets all as the AirHamlet, the southern fire-hamlets all as the FireHamlet, the western water-hamlets all as the WaterHamlet, the central aether-hamlets all as the AetherHamlet, the radial or diametral ether-hamlets all as the EtherHamlet, and the circumferential or perimetral space-hamlets all as the SpaceHamlet; and all were the circular essence-hamlets all as the EssenceHamlets.
The AirHamlet and its air-hamlets was the air and its air-land and air-world and its air and its air-beast-land and air-beast-world in its own secrecy and secret side, and its air-lands, air-islands, air-isles, and air-islets, and air-archipelagoes were as those of Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia.
In one of such air-hamlets, an air-hamlet found in the CentreEarth continent, and on an air-isle, and in the air-isle's tree neighbourhood and in its only two inhabited nests, lived a certain other human air-human family in one nest — the Airsleys, and lived in the other nest a certain other beast air-beast beast-family — the Aireasleys, and these two families had also together taken part in the celebrations of the victory of the Air over the Anti-Air, as they had also been held here on the Earth's Airia and AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirBeastia and AirBeastLandia and AirBeastWorldia's air-hamlets.
Mr Airion Airsley was an aerocar driver, as he flew a flying-and-gliding aerocar — a sort of air-magical air-car which could be feather-covered and plume-covered, and which had wings — two pairs of wings with a pair on each side of its bonnet, and patagia — two pairs of patagia with a pair each on the aerocar's left and right side which stretched all along it.
He was also an air-taxi driver as he used his aerocar as air-taxicar for air-taxi, and he had taken Mrs Airsley, Mr and Mrs Aireasley, and their children, and flown them out to the largest air-land of the air-hamlet which was its air-town, and there they had joined the other air-humans and air-beasts in their celebrations.
The Airsleys and Aireasleys celebrated and celebrated and celebrated with the air-humans and air-beasts, and after flew back home, and reached their nests by late evening.
After putting their infant twin boy and girl children to bed, Mr and Mrs Airsley accompanied by Mr and Mrs Aireasley who had put their own twin beast-boy and beast-girl children to bed before coming to the Airsleys' nest for a nighttime chat before they all went to bed, all sat in the Airsleys' downstairs sitting room speaking about the animated day they had had, when suddenly out of the still open doors of the roof, appeared a small, white speck, which called their attention, and they looked up, and saw the speck swiftly enlarge and become a sparkly air-sphere whose white aura shone and filled the room, and the puzzled Airsleys and Aireasleys could see the shape of someone stirring in it.
The air-sphere then shattered into small shards, and the shards instantly disappeared as the Airsleys and Aireasleys saw the shape as a translucent air-one with a long and large body, long, white hairs; brilliant, white eyes; with both translucent white feathers and white-and-coloured plumes covering its body, and translucent pairs of white wings on each side of its upper back and white patagia on its body's left and right side, and it had long arms whose atypically huge hands were closed. It swooped down slightly above the Airsleys and Aireasleys and before them as it stared at them, and the Airsleys and Aireasleys speechlessly and stupefyingly stared back. It then spoke.
"I greet you Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley airiestly airy." It spoke serenely as it stayed straight. "I greet you Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley airiestly airy."
"I greet you." Mr and Mrs Airsley each said standing up from their seats after finding their voices.
"I greet you." Mr and Mrs Aireasley each said soaring up from their seats after also finding their voices.
The Airsleys and Aireasleys were clearly confused on the person which they didn't know if it was male or female or even human or beast, and were confused on what it meant by "airiestly airy".
"I am an Airy and I am the Airy," it said, and looking at the Airsleys and after at the Aireasleys strongly, it continued, "and you Airsleys and Aireasleys are Airy, and you are AirAgentSeeds."
The Airsleys and Aireasleys then stared at themselves in comprehension as they now understood what it was as they knew what an Airy was as they had heard of it, though they were seeing it for the first time; and they also acknowledged at themselves being air-agent-seeds as they were thus, but not as "airy".
"I am Akin to the Air," the Airy said again, "and you Airsleys and Aireasleys are also akin to the Air, aren't you."
"Yes we are!" The Airsleys and Aireasleys similarly and simultaneously said, though not really getting it.
The Airy turned and spoke to the Airsleys. "Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley!"
"Yes," Mr and Mrs Airsley both answered.
It turned and spoke to the Aireasleys. "Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley!"
"Yes," Mr and Mrs Aireasley both answered.
The Airy then spoke to both Airsleys and Aireasleys.
"The Air is with you."
"The AirGod is with you."
"The AirFather and the AirSon and the AirSpirit is with you."
"The Air and the Air Element and the Air Essence is with you."
"You have found favour with the Air."
Mr and Mrs Airsley and Mr and Mrs Aireasley looked at one and the other confused by all this Airy's saying.
"You are air-blessed amongst all air-agent-seeds as warder-dad and warderess-mum and as warder-beast-dad and warderess-beast-mum." The Airy said.
The Airy turned again to the Airsleys and spoke. "Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley!"
"Yes," Mr and Mrs Airsley both answered again.
"You are air-blessed amongst all air-agent-seeds as warder-dad and warderess-mum and AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the air-human 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress twins, and the AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady twins, and the AirBoy and AirGirl, and your ward-son and wardess-daughter, are air-blessed with you."
And without waiting for the Airsleys' reaction, it swooped down more at them and stretched forward its arms to them, and opened its huge hands, and on each palm was a bundle of blankets.
Mr and Mrs Airsley, confounded, raised their arms, and each took a bundle, and stared to see inside, just visible, was a baby boy and baby girl in their respective bundles, fast asleep.
The Airy brought back its arms, closed back its hands, and turned to the Aireasleys and continued. "Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley!"
"Yes," Mr and Mrs Aireasley both answered in premonition.
"You are air-blessed amongst all air-agent-seeds as warder-beast-dad and warderess-beast-mum and AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the air-beast 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress beast-twins, and the AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady beast-twins, and the AirBeastBoy and AirBeastGirl, and your ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter, are air-blessed with you."
And without waiting too for the reaction of the Aireasleys, it stretched forward its arms again to them, and opened its hands, and on each palm also was another bundle of blankets.
Mr and Mrs Aireasley, confounded also, raised their arms, and each took a bundle, and stared to see inside, just visible, was a baby beast-boy and baby beast-girl in their respective bundles, fast asleep.
The Airy brought back its arms, closed back its hands, and turned to the Airsleys and said, "Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley, AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the air-human 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress twins, and the AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady twins, and the AirBoy and AirGirl are therefore given you and you have received them!"
"Yes, we have received them." Mr and Mrs Airsley struggled to say as they saw the Airy's stare waiting for a reply.
The Airy turned to the Aireasleys and said, "Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley, AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the air-beast 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress beast-twins, and the AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady beast-twins, and the AirBeastBoy and AirBeastGirl are therefore given you and you have received them!"
"Yes, we have received them." Mr and Mrs Aireasley both answered as they saw it was expected of them.
The Airy then soared up, and proclaimed as it soared and spun higher, "AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the male and female air-human 'Of Air' twins, and AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the male and female air-beast 'Of Air' beast-twins, are given to Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley the air-agent-seed warder-dad and warderess-mum, and Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley the air-agent-seed warder-beast-dad and warderess-beast-mum, and they have received them!"
"Air-holy Airion Airsley and Air-holy Arletta Airsley, man-akin to the Air and woman-akin to the Air, have been selected by the Air as the warder-dad and warderess-mum of AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air who are their ward-son and wardess-daughter!"
"Air-holy Aireo Aireasley and Air-holy Airea Aireasley, beast-man-akin to the Air and beast-woman-akin to the Air, have been selected by the Air as the warder-beast-dad and warderess-beast-mum of AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air who are their ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter!"
"AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the son and daughter of late Mr AarryAir OotterAir of Air and Mrs AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the previous air-human 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress, and AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady, are now the ward-son and wardess-daughter of Mr Airion Airsley and Mrs Arletta Airsley!"
"AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the beast-son and beast-daughter of late Mr AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and Mrs AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the previous air-beast 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress, and AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady, are now the ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter of Mr Aireo Aireasley and Mrs Airea Aireasley!"
Mr and Mrs Airsley, as well as Mr and Mrs Aireasley, did not attentively listened to all this the Airy had just said, as they had stayed bewildered ever since the Airy had handed them the Of Air' and AirAgents and AirAgentesses' babies and beast-babies, and were unbelieving that the 'Of Air' and AirAgents and AirAgentesses and AirSaviours and AirSaviouresses whose victory with the Air over the Anti-Air they had been celebrating a moment ago, were they seeing them now, and were they given to them, and given to them to ward and beast-ward them as they speechlessly stared at the babies and beast-babies in their arms.
The Airy then spinningly swooped down and above the Airsleys, and spoke. "You, Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley, shall ward as warder-father and warderess-mother AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air who are now your ward-son and wardess-daughter, and you shall ward your ward-son and wardess-daughter along with the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins, and the AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins."
It turned to the Aireasleys and spoke "You, Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley, shall beast-ward as warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air who are now your ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter, and you shall beast-ward your ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter along with the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls twins, and the AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls twins."
The Airy then spinningly soared up again as it said, "here comes the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins, and the AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and their 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins to you!"
And, Mr and Mrs Airsley and Mr and Mrs Aireasley who alternately looked at the Airy as it spoke and at the babies and beast-babies they held, then saw the shards instantly reappear and gather up into the white auraed air-sphere which this time was largest, and the Airsleys and Aireasleys could see the many shapes of air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women in it, and again the air-sphere shattered into small shards, and its shards instantly disappeared as the Airsleys and Aireasleys saw the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women swoop down and land on the floor, and forty were they — ten air-men and ten air-women spouses standing side by side, and ten air-beast-men and ten air-beast-women beast-spouses standing side by side, and the spouses and beast-spouses each held a blanket in their arms as they stood surrounding a wordless Mr and Mrs Airsley and Mr and Mrs Aireasley. They were also with baggage which fell down to the floor too.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Airsley!" The air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women all spoke at once.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Aireasley!" They immediately continued.
"He . . . llo . . . !" The Airsleys and Aireasleys stuttered as they were speechless on what else to say.
"Happy to meet the warder-father and warderess-mother of AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air, the air-human 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress twins, and the AirLighter AirLord and AirLighteress AirLady twins, and the AirBoy and AirGirl!" The air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women simultaneously said.
"Happy to meet the warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother of AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air, the air-beast 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess and AirSaviour and AirSaviouress beast-twins, and the AirLighter AirBeastlord and AirLighteress AirBeastlady beast-twins, and the AirBeastBoy and AirBeastGirl!" The air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women immediately continued.
"Happy to meet you too the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and your 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins, and the AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses and your 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins, and the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women spouses and your 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls twins, and the AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women spouses and your 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls twins." The Airsleys and Aireasleys struggled to say in syllables as they remembered how the Airy had named them earlier, and they inspectingly stared, and stared and saw too the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women with blankets in their arms they believed contained their air-boys and air-girls and air-beast-boys and air-beast-girls.
The Airy, which was high above them all, then spoke, "AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses to the AirAgents and AirAgentesses, this is the Airsleys and Aireasleys of whom I told you, and told you are the warder-father and warderess-mother and warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother of the AirAgents and AirAgentesses, and of whom I told you to tell nought of to the airers and air-landers and air-worlders and air-beasters and air-beast-landers and air-beast-worlders."
The Airy spoke again. "You, Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley, shall ward as warder-father and warderess-mother AarryAir OotterAir of Air and AarrietAir OotterAir of Air who are now your ward-son and wardess-daughter, and you, the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women spouses shall parent as fathers and mothers your 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls twins who are your sons and daughters."
And without waiting for a reply, the Airy continued. "You, Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley, shall beast-ward as warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother AarrybeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air and AarrietbeastAir OotterbeastAir of Air who are now your ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter, and you, the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women spouses shall beast-parent as beast-fathers and beast-mothers your 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls twins who are your beast-sons and beast-daughters."
And without waiting for another reply, the Airy continued. "You, Mr and Mrs Airsley, shall ward your ward-son and wardess-daughter and parent your son and daughter, and you, Mr and Mrs Aireasley, shall beast-ward your ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter and beast-parent your beast-son and beast-daughter, along with the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women and their 'Of Air' Air-boys and Air-girls, and the AirAssisters and AirAssisteresses and AirAssistants and AirAssistantesses 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women and their 'Of Air' Air-beast-boys and Air-beast-girls." And it paused.
Mr and Mrs Airsley and Mr and Mrs Aireasley and the 'Of Air' Air-men and Air-women and 'Of Air' Air-beast-men and Air-beast-women alternately looked at themselves and the babies and beast-babies they held in their arms, as they had been looking at the Airy above as it had spoken.
The Airy resumed. "So shall the warder-father and warderess-mother Airion Airsley and Arletta Airsley ward their ward-son and wardess-daughter and parent their son and daughter, and so shall the warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother Aireo Aireasley and Airea Aireasley beast-ward their ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter and beast-parent their beast-son and beast-daughter, along with the 'Of Air' air-men and air-women who shall parent their 'Of Air' air-boys and air-girls, and the 'Of Air' air-beast-men and air-beast-women who shall beast-parent their 'Of Air' air-beast-boys and air-beast-girls!"
"And so shall the warder-father and warderess-mother and father and mother raise and care and cater to their ward-son and wardess-daughter and their son and daughter, and so shall the warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother and beast-father and beast-mother beast-raise and beast-care and beast-cater to their ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter and their beast-son and beast-daughter, alongside the 'Of Air' air-fathers and air-mothers who shall raise and care and cater to their 'Of Air' air-sons and air-daughters, and the 'Of Air' air-beast-fathers and air-beast-mothers who shall beast-raise and beast-care and beast-cater to their 'Of Air' air-beast-sons and air-beast-daughters!" The Airy said, and asked them, "and so shall you, shan't you?"
"Yes, so shall we." The 'Of Air' air-men and air-women and 'Of Air' air-beast-men and air-beast-women answered as the Airsleys and Aireasleys mumbled along.
"And so shall I an Airy, I the Airy, leave the warder-father and warderess-mother and their 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess ward-son and wardess-daughter, and the warder-beast-father and warderess-beast-mother and their 'Of Air' and AirAgent and AirAgentess ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter, and the 'Of Air' air-fathers and air-mothers and their 'Of Air' air-sons and air-daughters, and the 'Of Air' air-beast-fathers and air-beast-mothers and their 'Of Air' air-beast-sons and air-beast-daughters to themselves and to their together new lives." The Airy said.
"So shall you live, raise, and love your ward-son and wardess-daughter and ward-beast-son and wardess-beast-daughter, and your son and daughter and beast-son and beast-daughter, and your sons and daughters and beast-sons and beast-daughters with one only love; and so shall you see to your sons and daughters and beast-sons and beast-daughters raise and care and cater to each other." The Airy ended on a final note, as again instantly appeared the shards which gathered up into the air-sphere as the Airsleys and Aireasleys and the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women all saw the Airy in it, and the air-sphere swiftly shrank into the speck and disappeared, as all air-humans and air-beasts stared at it, and after the air-men and air-women and air-beast-men and air-beast-women with Mr and Mrs Airsley and Mr and Mrs Aireasley set themselves in a familiality and friendlily.
