The Eternals And Their Assassin • Eternals X O/C

3.

BABYLON

525 BC.
(The fight at the blue gates of Babylon has happened already)

The Eternals have successfully kept earth and the humans safe while helping them evolve. That have not been as successful with finding their soulmate, they have fallen in love though, Ikaris and Sersi though they don't know it yet, Gilgamesh and Thena, Druig and Makkari. That have all become quite close though they are not each-other soulmates they still love each-other as much.

The humans have invited the Eternals to a party, to celebrate another day being alive. Sprite shoes the locals stories with her illusions and tells them what greatness they will achieve. Sersi is dancing with the kids as Ikaris watched her with adoring eyes, Gilgamesh, Thena, and Ajak sit around a fire laughing with some of the other locals, Kingo is making jokes with some of the other men around him, Druig was at a table with some of the other local men as they were making a deal, Makkari comes running in with some items for her to trade with those men that were at the table with Druig. "Beautiful Makkari what do you have there" signs Druig to Makkari. "Some things to trade for their help finding the Emerald table" she signs back.

"The emerald table is a myth, we're just going to take what she brought us" whispered the first man to the other two men. One of the men tried to reach to the table to grab what Makkari had brought them. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" says Druig with his thick accent, "she might be deaf but she can feel every vibration your body makes" as he says that Makkari grabs the man's had before he can even reach the table. The three men left after that. "I'll just find the table myself" she says as she leaves.
"So stubborn" thinks Druig as he laughs to himself.

BACK AT THE DOMO

Druig watches as Phastos makes something , sprite is also watching him her face showing that of confusion.
They all stop what they're doing as Ajak walks in "did you go to the park like I told you Phastos" she asks "oh yea yea the party for sure" he answers with a nod of the head. "Party oh yea he had a great party here,He spent the whole night in his office" says Druig as he shoves food in his mouth. "where's Sersi?" She asks as the rest of the Eternals walk into Pahstos's office. "Late as usual" says Druig.

"Sorry sorry I got caught up in something." She runs in while catching her breath. "You called us all in here for a reason I presume Phastos?" Asks Ajak. "Yes I have, I feel that it's time for the humans to get some technological advancements." He says while building something that the team looks at in Astonishment. "Don't you think it's too early?" asks Thena. "Not at all" he responds, "first tell us what the machine is and then we'll se Eid it is too early" Ajak says, "it's a Steam engine" says Phastos in a Duh tone. "And we're supposed to know what to does just like that" says Sprite in a sarcastic tone. "It's a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. This pushing force can be transformed, by a connecting rod and flywheel, into rotational force for work." Replies Druig with a smirk on his face as he sees Phastos's astonished face due to him knowing what it does. "Don't worry big guy I'm not as smart as you I over heard you talking about it to yourself earlier" he says with a laugh. Makkari lightly nudges him to get him to stop and let Ajak speak.
"It's too early for that Phastos, so you have anything more simple."
"Simple yea simple. Ladies and gentlemen I present the Plow" he says in an unamused tone.
"It does exactly what the name suggests it Plows, Right?" Asks Kingo. "Mhmm" is all Phastos says. "That's perfect it will help them but it won't force them to advance too fast, don't worry photos we have all the time in the world left." Says Ajak with a smile.
