An alarm clock begins to chime before not too long it is abruptly silenced by a red haired man
He rolls over.. resuming his sleep although a alarm he cannot silence is raging outside.
That would be the paparazzi ..
The red haired man groans then raises up and begins scratching his head.. but he stops when he notices his wife is still somehow sound asleep through the noise but more importantly... on such a monumental day
"Vee.." the man whispers while shaking her
"Veejra.."
She stirs and murmurs before some what waking..
"what.. "she responds eyes still closed
"Its.." he quickly glances at the clock
"Its 9:33"
She immediately raises up "its..! Its! Time!
She jumps out of bed and runs to the restroom excitement in every step
The man gets out of bed as well a coy smile on his face
He makes his way to the bathroom
Its split in two with both sides mirrored
A decent sized sink with a wall wide mirror and a adjacent closet door
A master tub in the middle
He goes towards the right side..his side
He turns on the sink to brush his teeth
Veejra suddenly burst out the closet from her side several hung outfits in hand quickly moving out to the bedroom
He pays no mind resuming his morning routine
She quickly returns to the bathroom..going to her side opening a cabinet under her sink and sifting through different fragrances
She peeks up towards her husband then runs over
Upon raising up from the sink after washing it hes met with his wife hands up bottles in both hand
She sprays them both
"Which one??"
"Uhm.."
He grabs a nearby towel and starts patting down his face
"How about..one at a time first"
She sprays them one at a time... although in quick succession nullifying the point
He sighs but chooses anyway
"Uhm. Not the yellowberry one.."
He walks into his closet
"Too.. citrusy" he elaborated while walking past her
Veejra lowers both fragrances slightly defeated
"I thought so too.. but i still like that one"
The husband walks out of the closet sighing his outfit in hand and proceeding towards the bedroom
"Relax.. i think you're overthinking it"
His comment was met with a swift rebuttal
"Libra!"
He stops and turns to his beloved
Hand on hip and finger wagging and pointing she scolds him
"This is our pick up day, reveal and coronation all in one day!"
She raises a finger for every point
"Were doing this the right way"
There was something fierce in her eyes and libra knew better than to get on her bad side..buuuut at the same time
"Its 15 minutes till 10 by the way"
Without another word she closes the door
Libra amusingly sighs before going to the window of the bedroom
Already hearing the chatter from behind them he takes a moment to mentally prepare himself for whats to come..
That being the masses of course.
Upon opening the curtains hes met with what felt like the entire world peering into his humble little home
A roaring crowd topped off with a personal entourage ready to take them wherever they need to be
local news agencies in their respective aircrafts along with a international one circling the home ready to document every little detail
How did they sleep through this libra thought
Then again.. it has been a week since Somas birth he surmised they've grown accustomed to it to say the least
He steps away from the window going back to get ready
"I still can't believe this is happening.."
A sen man says in a monotone yet amused tone
"Remind me.. how long has it been since our last Machina"
"Nearly 300 years" a sen woman replies in a chirpy excited tone
He sighs to himself
"And in Arcadia of all places"
"You make it seem like thats a bad thing"
"I dunno.. its just that Arcadia's no powerhouse.. were still recovering and all
He looks up at the UNIN(union) aircraft circling the area
"I just hope this doesn't draw any unwanted attention"
"The woman even with limited emotion provided by her mask was still manages to give him a scowl"
He looks back at her before breaking the ice
"Ok. Ok. im fine.. maybe im just overthinking things"
The surrounding crowd falls silent catching the two's attention
The front door of the newly famed parents home slowly opens
The couple takes a few steps out hands intwined
"You ready..?"
Libra says while facing the masses
Veejra doesn't respond instead examining everything happening around them
What a monumental day she thought
Libra continues onward gently pulling her along
The crowd surges to life erupting into a thunderous cheer
Not only was a world defining force of nature back from obscurity
The being was born in humble Arcadia
A patriotic pride was letting its self be known in every Arcadian
Snow and confetti fell as the celebrated couple made their way to their escort waving at the onlookers all while nearing closer and closer to the escort.. when suddenly from the drivers seat a formally dressed sen man steps out back towards the couple while straightening his attire
But oddly enough even in the face of some of Gaias most important many of the people in attendance could not help but spare the peculiar man their full attention
As such with humanity, the Senoid populations development were too affected by regional consequences
While the mountain faring nation of the Rabaam range evolved to be a more dense and broad people molded in titanium to survive the frigid conditions or..
..Due to their essence rich environment the sens of Cyrus are slim and molded in a regal silver
This man however was revealed to be melded in bronze providing no tell tale sign of where he hailed from..
A anomaly in the truest sense of the word
Silence falls as the man walks around the front of the car to meet the two
"Hello." The strange man formally bows before continuing
"I am Apollo"
"It is a great honor and a even greater pleasure to meet the famed family"
"Today is.." he pauses in a momentary thought "colossal.. at the very least"
"If anything proves to be troublesome.. please feel free to call on me"
"I will always be but a arms reach away"
His eyes flicker between the both of them before he continues
"Now.." placing a hand on a recognition pad he opens up the door to the back passenger seats revealing a luxury 4 seat booth resembling that of a mini living room)
"If there are no questions"
"Shall we go?"
Veejra looks at libra with the eyes of an excited child then back to Apollo giving him a enthusiastic nod
"Yes!"
The couple waves while entering the vehicle bidding the masses farewell
As the vehicle ascends libra waves through the window on last time before the glass tints into a pitch black
He happily sighs to himself when veejra calls for his attention
"Leo look"
Libra turns to see her messing around with some virtual console
Soon after a tiny hatch opens revealing a pint of juice
"It dispenses drinks!"
Libra enthusiastically moves in for a closer look
"Thats actually pretty neat-" he stops himself
Upon taking a closer look he notices the manufacturer digitally transcribed at the top of the drink catalog
He takes his cup and rest back into his seat immediately placing it in the cup holder
Admittedly the revelation soured his morning in a way
"Apollo, was it?"
Without taking his eyes off of the route he responds
"Correct"
Well, when we were told we would be escorted.."
".. i didnt think it would be by a foreign military"
Without changing still
"Military?"
"..AbaddonWorks."
"Apologies sire.. i am confused."
"i simply felt this vehicle would best suit our future endeavors"
"So i borrowed it for the time being"
"I serve none"
"But the Machina and.."
"Mother Gaia"
Theres a palpable pause
"Oh! And the celebrated couple"
Veejra chimes in
"Borrowed?"
"Yes madam.. they.. weren't too happy about it but i told no lie i am in-fact simply borrowing it"
Libra chimes back in
"Does.. the council know about this"
Apollo is briefly silent
"I know.. not of this Council?"
the couple look at each other in disbelief
Veejra speaks again
"Apollo.. who are.. you"
"I am Apollo"
"Steward of the famed family and mother"
The lights in the vehicle dim
a digital blue orb spawns from the the center table
From it came a stern demanding but also paradoxically soothing voice
"On behalf of all the people of Peatree.. Salutations famed family."
"I am Abaddon XI"
The orb reverbs as the man speaks in conjunction with his octave
"In honor of such a occasion i am willing to extend this vessel as a gift with plenty more to come"
"As tokens of friendship"
"And as a omen of a prosperous future together "
"Godspeed and safe travels to you all"
"I bid you farewell..till we formally meet again"
The orbs abruptly turns off and the lights restore
Libra is anything but thrilled
"Apollo where did you come from"
"Mother"
"After.. mother"
"Well.. it was.. far warmer than here"
"A lush environment surely"
"Far lusher than I remembered it" he says to himself
Libra sighs
He looks at veejra
"He came from peatree"
"Something amiss sire?"
"That man on the comms"
"Yes?"
"That was the head of the merchants guild.. head of AbaddonWorks and.."
"The 11th king Of peatree Cecil Abaddon"
"That is... alarming?"
"I dont know yet.."
"I see."
"Hmmmmm.."
"Worry not sire."
His eyes flick to the rear view mirror
"I am here."
They then flick back
