The Aamsang air-hamlet of the air-humans was headed by a certain Aafack family — Mr Aantin Aafack and Mrs Antonia Aafack, who had a ten-year olds boy and girl twins, Aantin Jr and Aantine, who were aired air-humans, and who were one of the first air-humans to move and settle in the Aamsang hamlet, and one of the founders of the Aamsang air-hamlet. The Aafacks were akins to the Anti-Air and allied to the Anti-Air, and Anti-Air-believing as they adored and worshipped the Anti-Air as the Anti-Air and the Anti-Air as an Entity ⸺ the Anti-AirEntity, and were also Anti-Air-magic-practicing as they practiced the air and air-magic associated to the Anti-Air. They were also colonizer air-humans, who however were a part of the minority leucodermic air-humans who had been subjugated and oppressed by the other majority leucodermic air-humans in Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia and its AirWizarderia and AirWizardia, and had thus fled to Earth years ago.
The Aafacks as leucodermic humans, to the humans in the Aamsang hamlet and the Aaleveng village, were Amiléké people who were known to be non-Christians who adhered and were adherents to non-Christianity. They assembled and practiced their non-Christianity at their non-Christian assembly, and in their assemblyhall, and with their assemblymembers in the Aamsang hamlet who were secretly air-humans as they of the Aamsang air-hamlet. They also chose the resting day of Sunday as the day to engage in their non-Christian-beliefs and non-Christian-practices ⸺ so as also to do similar as the Christians who worshiped on Sundays. It had been upon their arrival on Earth and in the Aamsang hamlet that they had also chosen to portray themselves as Amilékés, and adopted this belief of theirs.
The Airsleys had encountered the Aafacks upon their arrival on Earth, as had afterwards their akins of Nestland Airway. The Aafacks, acting as the sole supremacists in the air-hamlet, had forthrightly told to the Airsleys and their akins about their anti-air-beliefs and anti-air-magic-practices, and told them that the air-hamlet welcomed air-humans who were Anti-Air-believing and Anti-Air-magic-practicing as they were the majority there. They had also threateningly told them that they forbade any form of air-belief and air-magic-practice, and also avoided all Air-believing and Air-magic-practicing air-humans, as such air-humans were antagonized and left vulnerable to the humans' hunts of air-humans they had also told them of. They had told them that for an easy air-human life in the air-hamlet and from the humans' hunts of air-humans, they expected them as other air-humans to adhere to anti-air-belief and anti-air-magic-practice so as not to be antagonized by them. The Airsleys and their akins had however told, and succeeded in duping the Aafacks that they adhered to the xanthodermic air-humans' neutral A-Air ⸺ neither Air-siding nor Anti-Air-siding, and simply practiced everyday air-magic to live their everyday lives. It had also been from these exchanges with the Aafacks that the Airsleys and their akins had been encouraged to weave the air-wards all over Nestland Airway.
The Aafacks though feigning understanding of their A-Air, had however stayed suspicious of the Airsleys and their akins all over the years, even though they had never seen them engage in any air-belief and air-magic-practice, and despite their numerous attempts at trapping and taking them in it. The Airsleys and their akins had also stayed aware of this pretence of the Aafacks, and had stayed alert over their attempts at catching them in air-beliefs and air-magic-practices which they engaged in in strict secrecy and complete confinement. The Airsleys and their akins also knew that the Aafacks were the ones leading the anti-air-believers and anti-air-magic-practicers' air-attacks and air-assaults upon them and their air-wards as it had been the case on that first Sunday after they had weaved their air-wards, and had been on that other Sunday again when they had surreptitiously attacked them, and as it had been on countless other days and times; as even though they attacked and assaulted them in their transparency, the Airsleys and their akins had always succeeded in seeing them, though they had never told them of this. The Aafacks had also many a times even asked them why the air-wards over their neighbourhood, and they had answered that it was for their protection from any malintentioned air-humans and air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses, and they knew that the Aafacks asked them this out of anger and frustration at been unable to break down the air-wards.
Despite all this, the Airsleys and their akins and the Aafacks had had to live in solidarity as air-humans in Aamsang air-hamlet, and this so as to counter the humans and their hunts of air-humans in the Aamsang hamlet. This is what amongst others made them to assemble in air-assemblies of air-humans and air-wizarders and air-wizarderesses and air-wizards and air-wizardesses of the Aamsang air-hamlet. They held their air-assemblies every seventh Sunday of and after every seventh week of the calendar year, and the air-assemblies as well as almost all public events of the Aamsang air-hamlet were conducted at the home of the Aafacks.
Today Sunday, the first Sunday of the first seventh week of the year was such a day, and it was also the most important Sunday air-assembly as it was the first of the year.
In the Airsleys' home, warderess-mum's voice rang at dawn. "Airian, Airien, AarryAir, get up." She spoke as she rapped at the boys' bedroom door, and continued to the girls'.
AarryAir immediately woke up as he heard her call out to the girls, and stared across the room at the clock on the opposite wall to see it was six o'clock.
He yawned and stretched himself in his downer bed which he shared with Airien. Airian had the upper bed as he was the eldest of the three boys.
"Get up, and get ready for the air-humans' air-assembly." Warderess-mum's voice passed by. "You know we shouldn't be the ones late."
AarryAir thought about the seven o'clock air-assembly, and thought how he and his warder-brothers and warderess-sisters and the boys and girls hated the air-assemblies as they and their parents weren't even well seen and welcomed at them as they did not abide to the anti-air-beliefs and anti-air-magic-practices practiced by the majority of the air-humans of the air-hamlet. The Aafacks' home also was another woe for them. Warder-dad and warderess-mum and the dads and mums however obliged them to go as they said it avoided them being more alienated and targeted by the other air-humans, and also avoided them being betrayed by them to the humans as air-humans and air-wizarders and air-wizards, and subsequently being hunted by the humans.
"AarryAir, Airien, are you awake?" Airian called as he stretched in his bed.
"Yes, I am." AarryAir answered as he got out of his thoughts.
"I am." Airien said as he stirred.
"Ok," Airian said, "let's go and get a bath before mum is back shouting." And he jumped down holding his wing-wears and patagium-wears, picked up his toothbrush and toothpaste from the nearby table, and picked up his towel from the wardrobe beside the door, and hurried out of the bedroom.
AarryAir rose up, and Airien too, and they each picked up toothbrush and toothpaste and towel, and followed after Airian, as AarryAir drew forth wings and patagia and feathers and plumes, while Airien wiggled wingostomies and patagiumostomies.
After all three boys had finished in the toilet, they came back to their bedroom and wore their white shirts, white breeches, and black shoes which they always wore to the air-assembly.
"Boys, you are all ready, are you?" They heard their daddy call out.
"We should be going boys and girls." Their mum shouted before they could answer.
"Let's all go then." Airian said as he stared at himself, and at AarryAir and Airien all ready.
The three boys, in all-white, with AarryAir's wings and patagia drawn forth, and Airien with wingostomies and patagiumostomies, and Airian in wing-wears and patagium-wears and preceding, all left their room, and closed the door, and rose up mid-air, and flew and glided along the corridor, and into the opened door of the sitting room, and up and out of the double doors of the roof, and into the morning courtyard where waiting up in the air was their warder-dad and warderess-mum in wing-wears and patagium-wears and feather-wears and plume-wears respectively.
"Well slept boys?" Warder-dad asked as he saw them.
"Yeah, well slept." Airian started, as AarryAir and Airien said also, as they all flew and glided up to their parents.
"Good morning boys." Warderess-mum spoke, and the three boys answered. "Where are your sisters? What are they still doing in their room? It is already going to seven o'clock." And as she said and stared at the roof's opening, Airianna leading, with Airienne and AarrietAir soared out of the roof and joined them in the air. They were also in all-white, and in feather-wears and plume-wears, and featherostomies and plumostomies, and wings and patagia drawn forth respectively.
The girls exchanged greetings with all of them, and after they all flew and glided towards Nest Number One where above in the air were the Airanies of Air and the other air-families, and they all quickly greeted one another.
Standing in a circle above Nest Number One as AarryAir saw them all, he saw that none of them were eager at going at this air-assembly or even facing the Aafacks whom they always avoided; but they could not sway out of it.
"To the Aafacks then!" Mr Airmanie said echoing all their feelings, and AarryAir saw him put a hand into a trouser pocket, and come out with a pouch. He then put a hand inside of it, and remove it powdered with a white sparkling powdery substance which he sprayed in the air as he started canting an air-incantation, "O Aero Ventum, Apparero Et Prendero Illes Aero-Hommo Ad Ille Aafacks!" and after the canting, the powder sparkled and after sparked, and the sparks swirled, and swirled and swirled in the air as it suddenly spiralled down and spread and surrounded them, and swirled all around them; and they were all swirled as AarryAir felt it on him as such that he could make no movements of his own as he was held immobile by the force of the swirl which wholly swirled him.
Then he saw and felt as the sparky swirl soared them up in a spiral through the branches and boughs of their tree's canopy, and out of the canopy's hole, and the sparky swirl became a sparkly swirl as it breached the air-wards over their neighbourhood, and after they saw it seep them out of the air-wards, and then a snapping sound was heard as a white, brilliant, blinding light blinded them for a second; and then they recovered their sight and saw they were on the familiar clearing of an air-islet as all around them in the extremities were tall trees surrounding. They then felt the sparky swirl swirl away from them and become back powder which swiftly dissipated itself.
Scoffs and sneers welcomed them from the scores of air-people all about them as they were seated on small chairs in a circle at the edge of the clearing, and some were also sitting and standing on the branches of the tree which circumferenced the air-islet, while others were on the air all about above and below.
They had arrived in the middle of the clearing, on whose very middle was one very vast tree which was the tallest tree of the air-islet, and up it on its central boughy platform just beneath its very vast canopy sat the very vast forewarning and foreboding black-and-white, castle-like nest of the Aafacks whose shadow and that of the tree shadowed the clearing. AarryAir had once heard his warder-dad say that the Aafacks' nest was very vast because as they were the heads of the air-hamlet, it was why they had such a huge home as it also was to accommodate the air-habitants of the air-hamlet when they came there for events such as the air-assemblies. But AarryAir and the children also knew that their parents suspected that it was so because of the numerous caves and caverns in its basement, and cells and chambers in its attic, where the Aafacks experimented with forbidden anti-air and anti-air-magic and anti-air-practices ⸺ far from the eyes of air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-authorities ⸺ as their parents said they could sometimes smell them as some of them managed to even seep through Nestland Airway's air-wards.
"Air-people of Nestland Airway!" A tall, thin, and middle-aged air-man with bald head, bony face, bony wings and patagia, and in greying feathers and plumes who was seating on a high, throne-like chair just beneath the tree and upon its dense, domy roots; and who was on one side of them with hands closed on each other exclaimed. "As always, never seeing it a necessity of yours to be as early as all of us!" He spoke in a scorn as snickers followed.
"Sorry Mr Aafack," Mr Airmanie apologized as he turned to him, and the other parents mumbled same. "We shall see ourselves earliest the next time."
AarryAir thought all of them knew they were just in time, and that this was just the usual greeting of Mr Aafack. As he stared around, he did not see some of the usual boys and girls and their fathers and mothers whom he knew will be arriving later than them, and would be goodly greeted.
Mr Aafack ignored them, and spoke as he had been doing so before they had interrupted him with their arrival.
Mr Airmanie and warder-dad Airion and the other fathers went to the side where were the men, while Mrs Airwomania leading the women went with them and warderess-mum Arletta to the side where the women were, and this after they had all whispered to the children to go and join the other children as usual; and AarryAir and Airien and Airian went to where the boys were and sat down on empty seats and began engaging with some of them.
Mr Aafack, after he had introduced newcoming air-people to the air-hamlet, and after they had all heard news from these ones about the air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-land and air-world, and the latest about the air-colonization, and also about the always agitating AirMagiconarchy, AirMagicepublic, AirMagicollegiacy, and AirMagicautocracy air-governments; as well as their always agitating respective Air-chivalry, Air-military, Air-police, and Air-cavalry air-armies; Mr and Mrs Aafack had afterwards told them about the latest on the humans' move on their human hunt of air-humans, and how they kept playing a perfectest role of putting them out of the grasp of these humans and their hunt of air-humans; and at their craftiness at misleading these humans.
After all was satisfactorily said, Mr Aafack, followed by all the parents, told their children to soar up into the nest above and wait there till when they had finished with their adult affairs, they would then come back for them. The Airsleys and their akins also ordered their children same, though they did not like them being at the Aafack's nest, but did so, so as not to be seen unpleasant by the others.
After all the children had soared away, Mr Aafack then immediately spoke. "It is time to summon the anti-air-septagram!" And he rose up, and almost all the air-people rose up also, and they all then shuffled, and aggrouped into series of seven people in circles all around the tree. The Airsleys and their akins who knew they aggrouped to engage in anti-air-magic-practices, were the only ones who did not aggroup as they shifted more backwards not wishing to witness the anti-air-magic-practice in the frontline.
Mr Aafack was with three men and three women in his circle including Mrs Aafack, and all of them in an unspoken assent simultaneously drew out and raised up their air-wands and air-woots, and then started canting an incantation ⸺ an air-incantation, in strange and scary squawky voices. "VENIRO OH VENIRO OH, OH VENIRO OH ILLE ANTI-AERO SEPTOGRAMMA!"
They first started slowly, and then swiftly, as they simultaneously whirled their wands above them and woots also, whose tips shone scarlet; and after some seconds, a small, soft, and slow squall started to swirl all about the clearing.
Seven times after they canted the incantation, then suddenly and slowly started sketching and scraping on the soil's surface, and in the midst of the circles and the men and women circumferencing them, several scarlet-lined and lit seven-pointed stars and their straight strokes consisting of seven sides, seven points and seven smaller triangles ⸺ the seven, seven, seven – the anti-air seven, seven, seven; and with a circle surrounding each a star ⸺ the septagram ⸺ the anti-air-septagram, which was also the star ⸺ the anti-air-star, of all Anti-Air-believers and Anti-Air-magic-practicers.
The anti-air-septagrams, as the Airsleys and their akins horrifyingly saw them, knew it as one of the most strong, scary, malevolent, maleficent, malefactor, and sacrilegious sign and symbol of anti-air and anti-air-magic in all the air and its air-land and air-world and its air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-land and air-world, used by the Anti-Air-believers and Anti-Air-magic-practicers to summon the Anti-AirEntity.
The Airsleys and their akins wordlessly watching it all, then turned and saw that all around were series of seven men and women standing circularly out of the circumference of a circle at its contour, with the star at the centre of the circle, and all surrounding a septagram. The seven triangles of the septagrams surrounded an innermost septagon which was wide as to have several someones in it, as the Airsleys and their akins horrifyingly saw them.
Then the Airsleys and their akins terrifyingly stared at each other in an understanding stare which spoke that an anti-air sacrifice was to take place here, and now, and the Aafacks and the other men and women cared not if they saw this atrocious act of anti-air-magic-practice they were to commit.
Then the voice of Mr Aafack boomed. "SACRIFICERS, SUMMON THE ANTI-AIR!"
The Airsleys and their akins believed they did not want to see this, and though they knew they would afterwards be ostracized by their attitudes, they all swiftly soared up above at the nest to collect their children and get away from the Aafacks' home.
