The Airens

Basically a love story of two gods who control a world, and species of humans called Airens. The story tells of tragics, lost and gain. Its a fantasy story, which hold a real element of true pain.

With her eyes closed, she tapped her finger on the table. Over and over again, tapping her finger. Finally she spoke aloud. "Five hundred years .." there was silence again. I waited for her to continue. She smirked. 

"You've been gone, just over five hundred years." Opening her eyes, and staring directly into mine, she continued. "I waited, and waited that first bit. Where could you be ? .. Where could Derek be. Dead ? no, because if you were dead, id be dead to. Hiding some place? .. thats impossible, the gods would of found you.. I would of found you.".  I knew there was nothing i could say to calm Scarlett down. Her rage was more then anything I could of comprehended. As i have been gone five hundred years, shes been growing stronger when i have not. Im assuming its no doubt that she holds more power from the gods then i have. 

"You left me, five hundred years. And of course you think because we are both immortal as long as each other strives, that five hundred years was nothing." Her voice grew louder and reeked the sound of pain even more. Every time she stopped speaking, the silence in the room killed me. I felt like a child, being scolded and scared to talk or disobey. " I sat every single day, and I thought about you. I knew you were alive, it would be impossible for me to be alive and you dead. And for heaven sake the gods wouldn't look further then this rome to find you. But Id figured they knew where you were, and wouldn't tell me. I sat and thought about you, then I sat and tried to forget about you. And soon enough I did. Then I get word that you have returned.. from some great life journey of yours." 

"Scarlett." I knew her though, she was mad.. But no matter what, she would always be mad for me. "Scarlett, you think something different.. I didn't leave you" She slammed her hand down. "Bullshit! Bullshit you didn't leave me Derek! if you never left me, where the f**k were you that whole time when this whole f*****g world has been falling apart!" The whole time, ive been sitting and i finally stood up and walked towards her, but.. She stepped back. Holding her hands to her face, running them through her hair. I felt her feelings, I always felt her feelings, but only because she always let me. She hates me, but she loves me. She wished i never left, so that she didn't feel guilty about loving me. She wished she never loved me. Damn, she wished she never loved me.. 

She wiped the tears from her face quickly. "Where did you go?" I was confused for a moment. "Where did you go?" She asked again. "I was let into the chamber by Septus.". Her face changed in disbelief. "Septus let you into the chamber of life.. no". I nodded and continued. "Yes, he did. And when i was in the chamber, I had to make a choice. Stay here, or see all of the past mortal lives." Tears rolled down her face. Her breathing became heavier. "I.. Choose to see all of my past lives. I know who I am now Sar .. Ive never wanted anything more then that. Its been almost two thousand years, since ive not been mortal. And that whole time, between being some kind of ruler of this world, and gaining more power and the gods and everything else.. that whole f*****g time all i wanted was to remember who i was. And now i know." She stopped her heavy breathing, and silent crying. She stopped and turned her back from me. "Well im glad your f*****g happy Derek, glad you know everything you always wanted to" and with that she walked away. "I saw you to you know.." She stopped  for a second just before the door way, then continued walking. I tried to sense what she was feeling, but i couldn't. She wasn't letting me any more. 

After she left, I stayed where I was and thought for a moment. Almost two thousand f*****g years, and i still cant stand not seeing her smile. That five hundred was a long f*****g five hundred years, that i didn't she her f*****g smile. I know, shes pissed I left. But I needed to know, and f**k I missed everything about her that whole five hundred years to, but i also got to see the old her. Just as beautiful a god or not. She used to dance, she was famous. Everyone loved to see Scarlett dance. I loved seeing her dance. I met her when I was 5, she even danced then. I dont know why, we cant remember our lives together. Scarlet and I. We have all these powers, we have all this great abilities but we cant f*****g remember our lives. These gods, they've given us so much, but yet the simplest thing, they have taken away. 

I had to go, the gods needed me. I was being called. Closing my eyes, and for the quickest moment in time i felt nothing but the desire to go to the gods, and opening them i was there. I was now standing in the gods council room. 

Greeting me Vesu, stood up from his throne, "Derek".  I bowed, "Vesu". I took place in my throne, right beside Scarlett's, an empty seat. "So, Derek. You've finally returned." I sat up straighter and taller. "I suppose I have, yes" "I hope you know, something is going to change here." I didn't really know what he meant, but I nodded my head in agreement. "Scarlett, do you know what she has seen?" I shook my head no. "Of course not, you've been gone. Although I suppose, none of this is really your fault. You see, Septus thought your sole, different then you really are. He believed you were, darker and more about control. Thats why he let you into the chamber. Derek, the chamber shows you the one thing you want in the world the most, then.. it grants it to you. But, aged gods.. we cannot use it. You and Scarlett, are the only two that the chamber would work for. Septus knew that, he thought the thing you'd want most in the world is control over the gods since he knows of our differences we have had.". At this point, i was more then confused. "What do you mean Vesu, why would Septus want to give me control over all the gods? Does that not include Septus himself?". Vesu sighed. "Yes, but since Septus opened the chamber for you, you would not be able to control him. He planned on taking over you, because he was more powerful then you. Although Septus did not know you well enough, but he thought he was almost sure your greatest wish was control. But, as we are all figuring out now.. Its memories?" I stood up, and i started walking towards the hallway doors. "Yeah, memories Vesu." There was a silence in the room for a second. "So, since you said none of this is really my fault. I can go right?". 

His face grew angry. "Sit down, Derek. That five hundred years was not easy on Skys mankind. The land has suffered. Lives are less remembered, people have been bitter. Wars upon wars have been started, blood shed and Scarlett has had clean up, and take the pain of everything. This is your world Derek, you and Scarlett. Dont let it end." I suddenly felt a rush of heat on me, anger coming from above. The powers, they could go so far.. they could do so much suffering, but not to Vesu. My powers are nothing to him. Not a mere scratch. " My world! I never f*****g asked to keep this, this place. I never asked for Scarlet, I never f*****g asked for her!" Anger, anger its red it keeps coming. So much i could do, the suffering the damage. "You are who you are Derek. You dont like it ? I never choose you, SHE NEVER CHOOSE YOU! You had a life, you lived it and now its your turn to give back. You and her, were special. You are who you are, your memories of who you used to be, there gone. They are not you." Vesu was angry. "Everything you left a mess here, and your being given a chance to simply continue on where you were and you complain." Now it was his rage that was red. No suffering, no damage just strong red rage. "You take normal people from there f*****g lives, you give them these powers you expect them to live for thousands of f*****g years with not one f*****g feeling of pain? You control this race, that controls a humanity but you dont feel for you own race.". Rage really pumped through his veins of crystal now. "I cant help that you dont remember you old life, I never made those rules someone else did. I dont know everything Derek, I used to be just like you ! And I dont care for my own race? The only one in this world of yours, that is just like you, that is from your old life, that shares every single thought with you.. that is your race! You left. You left the only other being, who knows just how you feel.. and you've always left her, you left her for power at first. You made sure she knew she was weaker then you, you took over the land so she felt useless and once you made a mess of everything.. Even better, you left her to clean it all up.". Blue, blue ran through my veins. Open, she could feel this. I know it. Im trying not to let her, she could be in my mind right now I wouldn't know. I never thought about it like that, its not like that. 

In a deep voice, Vesu said "Leave here, now.". 

I did as I directed. I left the god chamber, and out to the streets. I walked along the lake, looking at all the stores that are now placed down along the path. I walked past many people, and not one of them knew who I was. Five hundred years ago, I walked these exact paths and I was adored by every single person who saw me. Most of my old followers are more then likely to be dead, the average life span on this planet is 150. It changed now, people are dying younger.

  See, the thing is. How we are, as in me and Scarlett.. shapes how this world is. 

The type of people who are born, the type of people who they become.. the look of the city's, the amount and extent of the tragics. They all depend on me and Scarlett, but for the most part I suppose its been all Scarlett. And i have to admit, she did a good job considering shes been on her own. Her feelings, her negativity or happiness effects it. The decisions she makes, the way she has been living, it all effects how this world is being molded. Bad things happen, almost as if its a test.. When bad happens, it could either get worst by first the decision you make to fix it, and the amount of emotion you allow to leak from you. Its though, to watch something you created, be destroyed so indecently, nonhuman.. so your supposed to be stronger to make it better. Your like, a role model for a whole entire race. The race on this world is not the one of plain human. The spices is Airen. A high breed of humans, there every smart, and they gradually find themselves a power as they grow old. Some can mind read, some can time travel.. others can control natural elements or see the future and past. Some Airens can choose to see what anyone else is seeing through there eyes, there a tons of different abilities that the race has. Through the five hundred years, more types of Airens have developed, and some have become extinct.

Author's Note

This story is only a rough copy, the beginning of the story could still be written, or that may just be how to story is to start. If it doesn't make the most sense well i understand, I need the readers to find out. Be open minded when reading this story because, things are not the average. Feelings are more intense, and remember the world is not earth. These are gods, and a high breed of humans, so the way the story is written is to make whats not normal seem so.

I see this developing into a nice story, it does sound as if it is the narrator thinking & setting up what is to come.

Upon reading this, I feel that it is a prologue, like you stated in your Author's Note. I feel that this story can go on if you wish it to. I would like to see where you take this story, especially with the relationship between Derek and Scarlett.
