It had been an age ago ever since the events at the zoo. Ever since then, everything had returned to normal. AarryAir with his warder-brothers and warderess-sisters and warder-dad and warderess-mum, along with the other boys and girls and their dads and mums of Nestland Airway, after the events at the zoo, the succeeding Sunday, at noon, after they had come back from their respective animist, atheist, apatheist, and agnostic assemblies, had gone to the Asafacks to see how they fared; and upon meeting these ones, they saw that they were well as they had known they would be.
Mr and Mrs Asafack had wholeheartedly welcomed them at their homes, and had talked to them about how they had had a wonderful Sunday service at their church, as the service had been a special and spectacular one, as it had been the year's first Sunday of baptism and confirmation, and had been the first baptism and confirmation of Aamin and Aamina as they were eleven-year olds ⸺ the acknowledged age to be baptized and confirmed in their church.
Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley, upon their inquiry to Mr and Mrs Asafack if they remembered how their preceding day had been, had been told by these ones that they remembered it of course, as they said they had spent it with other colleagues of theirs of the air-hunts who were all also in the same church as they to prepare for the baptism and confirmation of Aamin and Aamina and some of them whose children were to be baptized and confirmed also.
Later, when they had all gone back to their neighbourhood, Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia and Airian and Airianna had told them that Aamin and Aamina had had no memory of what had truly happened the previous day, as the only memory they had were of preparations for their baptism and confirmation; and all they Nestland Airwayers confirmed that Mr and Mrs Aafack had done well their duty and job of obliterating from the memories of the Asafacks the events of the previous day, and leaving them the memories of their latest human interaction which was truly the preparations for the baptism and confirmation which Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley remembered the Asafacks had done on Friday afternoon as these ones had informed them of it as they had also invited them, but which Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley had declined as they had told the Asafacks about activities they would be attending at their respective animist and atheist assemblies.
No mention also of air-magic air-creatures or air-magic air-beasts, or any air-magic occurrences, or air-magics or air-magic acts had been heard of in the succeeding days by any human, or from any human who had been at the zoo, or from any human who engaged with the Asafacks in these ones air-wizarders and air-wizards' air-hunts; as the Nestland Airwayers knew the Aafacks and their companions had made sure of this also.
The Airsleys and their akins had also days later learned in air-magic air-announcements of the air-hamlet that some malintentioned Anti-Air-believing and Anti-Air-magic-practicing air-humans, angered at the humans' air-wizarders and air-wizards' air-hunts on air-humans, had smuggled the air-magic air-creatures and air-beasts out of the air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-land and air-world to the human world, and had succeeded in doing so by initially transfiguring them into air-humans of the air-hamlet. The Aafacks had been the ones who had tracked, trailed, trapped, and taken them, and dutifully dealt with them as they had acted against the air-magic air-laws of the air-hamlet, and had made the air-humans exposed and vulnerable to the humans.
Warder-dad Airion and warderess-mum Arletta and the dads and mums had also told AarryAir and the children that that had been the reason why when they had come to them after the birdogres' assault on them, they had held their air-wands and air-woots against them for they had investigated and suspected that the air-creatures and air-beasts arrived the human world transfigured into true air-humans, though they hadn't been sure of that at the time, and they had thus aimed at the children to assure themselves they were not air-creatures and air-beasts transfigured into their children; and which had not been the case after they had examined them; and just so had they days later learned that their suspicions were true.
Living life normally for months now, the Airsleys and their akins were looking forward to the upcoming remitting of results and report cards of the children at the air-school they attended. AarryAir and AarrietAir, Airian and Airianna, Airien and Airienne, and all the boys and girls of Nestland Airway were elementary air-schoolchildren and air-schoolboys and air-schoolgirls schooling at an elementary air-school of the air-hamlet known as Air Elementary Education Students School — A.E.E.S.S., where schooled the air-children of the Air-believing and Air-magic-practicing air-humans, and where they underwent an elementary 'apparent' air-wizardering and air-wizarding school studies. They had been in the Elementary Eight class, which was the last class of elementary school.
AarryAir and AarrietAir, Airian and Airianna, Airien and Airienne, and the boys and girls, in all their years in Nestland Airway, had never been to the true Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia, and they had been told by their warder-dad and warderess-mum and their dads and mums that they shall so, when they would have finished with their elementary 'apparent' air-wizardering and air-wizarding school studies here in their Aamsang air-hamlet on Earth; and after that, they would leave for the true Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia, where they shall start a new life for their 'actual' air-wizardering and air-wizarding secondary school studies, with air-wands for the hands and air-woots for the feet, at the AirSchoolia AirSchool of Air-wizardercraft and Air-wizardcraft and Air-wizardery and Air-wizardry.
Today, Saturday 06TH July, was the last day of their elementary school studies, as it was the day of the remitting of results and report cards for the third trimester of the school year, and of which they had all excelled. The day also was the day of the official release of the results of their Air Elementary Education Exit Examinations or A.E.E.E.E., and also the release of the results of their Air Second School Entrance Examinations or A.S.S.E.E., and in which they had all again passed. Their successes meant that they were now suitable for air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-studies in the air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-schools of the true Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia, and the children were all eager to start with their second school studies at AirSchoolia AirSchool of Air-wizardercraft and Air-wizardcraft and Air-wizardery and Air-wizardry. AarryAir and AarrietAir, Airian and Airianna, and Airien and Airienne had been very congratulated by their warder-dad and warderess-mum for their successes.
The children and their parents had spent the whole day at school celebrating the children's successes in myriad manners. Back at home, Mr and Mrs Airsley and the fathers and mothers celebrated their children's successes with food they cooked, cakes they baked, and drinks and sweets and biscuits they bought; and they all gathered in one very large mobile nest amidst the other nests to feast as one.
After the feast was over, AarryAir and Airien and Airian, who spent time with the other boys as they at times all met at one boy's home, and most of the time on an occasion, also spent the evening there engaged in their 'apparent air-magic'; and generally spent the night there also; after finishing with their parents at home, and with permission from these ones, then left home at late afternoon as they and the boys had arranged to meet and engage in discussions about their air-wizardering and air-wizarding second school studies at AirSchoolia AirSchool of Air-wizardercraft and Air-wizardcraft and Air-wizardery and Air-wizardry, which was considered the best air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-school of Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia.
By early evening thus, AarryAir, Airien, Airian, and all the other boys were either lying, sitting, or standing on the nested seats and stands on the branches and boughs of the tree; or were lazily flying and gliding about the tree, as they were all engaged in discussions about the air-school, and talked about the thrilling things they had heard about it. They talked about other things, and also talked about the following day, Sunday, which was AarryAir and his sister's AirSaviourmas day, and eleventh air-birthday, and subsequent air-baptismday and air-confirmationday ⸺ as the air-birthday of an air-human as from the eleventh age was always succeeded by his air-baptism which became his air-baptismday, and air-confirmation which became his air-confirmationday. Airian and Airianna and Airien and Airienne and the other boys and girls being born before AarryAir and AarrietAir, and older than them by months, had already reached and celebrated their eleventh air-birthdays and subsequent air-baptisms after being air-baptized, and air-confirmations after being air-confirmed.
At around midnight, the boys all stopped their conversations, and went back to their respective homes and wished goodnight to their parents who reminded them to be up early for tomorrow's eventful day, and after went to their beds to sleep, eagerly expecting the next day celebrative day to come quickly. AarryAir when he reached home flew into it and saw his warder-dad and Mr Otherhumanairmanie, Mr Airmanie, and Mr Onehumanairmanie busy in the sitting room upstairs; and his warderess-mum and Mrs Otherhumanairwomania, Mrs Airwomania, and Mrs Onehumanairwomania busy in the sitting room downstairs; as they all prepared for tomorrow's AirSaviourmas day and air-birthday. He wished them goodnight and flew to his and Airian and Airien's bedroom upstairs, and entered into it and immediately fell asleep.
Today, Sunday 07TH July, officially the first day of holidays, was the AirSaviourmas and air-birthday celebrations of AarryAir and AarrietAir, and after this, they were all going to go to the air-sanctuary for their air-baptism and air-confirmation, as it was their subsequent air-baptismday — as they were now of the air-baptismal age to be air-baptized, and their subsequent air-confirmationday — as they were of the air-confirmational age to be air-confirmed.
The air-baptism and air-confirmation of AarryAir and AarrietAir wouldn't only see them air-baptized and air-confirmed as all other air-humans, but will also see them air-baptized and air-confirmed as a new AirSaviour and AirSaviouress ⸺ a Saviour and Saviouress of the Air, and proclaimed as such.
AarryAir and AarrietAir being a new AirSaviour and AirSaviouress, and as in the tradition of AirSaviours and AirSaviouresses, had their eleventh air-birth day celebrated firstly as the AirSaviourmas that commemorates and celebrates their air-birth to an AirSaviour and AirSaviouress and as a succeeding future AirSaviour and AirSaviouress; and their eleventh air-birth day secondly was celebrated as their air-birthday.
An anonym AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas always appeared at the AirSaviours' AirSaviourmas, and headed and helped the AirSaviour and AirSaviouress in their AirSaviourmas celebration, and they also brought presents to the AirSaviour and AirSaviouress and their invitees. All the Nestland Airwayers were extremely excited as they would be one of the fewest ones in all of Airia and its AirLandia and AirWorldia to partake in an AirSaviourmas with an AirFather AirSaviourmas and an AirMother AirSaviourmas, and also would be one of the fewest ones to see these ones, as these two only showed up at the home of the AirSaviours, and only those present with the AirSaviours were the ones to see them, and this happened only once in a lifetime of the AirSaviours which was at their eleventh air-birth day. Thus by almost 06:00 a.m. the Airsleys were all up, and all the boys and girls and their fathers and mothers at their homes were also all up getting themselves and everything ready to be on time at the Airsleys' home for the AirSaviourmas and air-birthday of AarryAir and AarrietAir, and see for once in their lifetime an AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas.
In the Airsleys' home, in the boys' bedroom, AarryAir woke up when the alarm of the clock rang, and he stared at it, and saw that it was 06:00 a.m., and thought he was now eleven years old, and inwardly wished himself a 'Happy Eleventh Year' as he smiled to himself as he yawned and stretched.
"Happy Eleventh Year bro!" Airien said as he woke up.
"Thanks bro!" AarryAir answered smiling.
"Happy Eleventh Year li'l bro!" Airian said as AarryAir heard him move and saw his face appear and look down at him in a smile.
"Thanks big bro!" AarryAir answered back smiling.
Somewheres in the house, warder-dad Airion and warderess-mum Arletta were already up, finishing with the last arrangements and preparations for the AirSaviourmas and air-birthdays as the boys could hear from the noises they made. They then heard them move along the corridor.
"Up, up, up boys!" Warder-dad Airion banged at their door. "Get up, go clean yourselves, and come down!"
They also heard warderess-mum Arletta bang on the girls' room telling them to get up and get ready.
"Be quick, or you would miss the AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas." Warder-dad Airion said as they heard him move on.
Airian first, and AarryAir and Airien following, got out of their beds, took their toiletries, and hurried out of their bedroom as AarryAir waved and flapped wings and patagia and feathers and plumes, and Airien did same with his wingostomies and patagiumostomies, while Airian held his wing-wears and patagium-wears.
All three boys minutes later came back in the bedroom, and wore the white shirts and white waistcoats, white trousers, and white shoes which warder-dad Airion bought for today's celebrations.
When they finished dressing themselves, and in all-white and satisfied at their selves as they stared at themselves in the mirror, Airian in wing-wears and patagium-wears and Airien with wingostomies and patagiumostomies exited the room first as warderess-mum Arletta had instructed them to do, and AarryAir with wings and patagia drawn forth followed after as he emerged out of the door as AarrietAir also emerged out of the door opposite in a smile as she was dressed in an all-white blouse and skirt and ballerina, and had her wings and patagia drawn forth also.
"AarryAir, AarrietAir," warderess-mum Arletta called out, "haven't you yet finished?"
"We have finished." They simultaneously shouted.
"Hurry up then," warder-dad Airion called out, "we are all waiting for you!"
"Happy AirSaviourmas and air-birthday AarryAir!" AarrietAir began.
"Happy AirSaviourmas and air-birthday AarrietAir!" AarryAir said also.
"Happy AirSaviourmas and air-birthday to us two!" Both said as they giggled.
"Let's hurry then!" AarrietAir said, and the two standing side-by-side, simultaneously rose up mid-air, and flew along the corridor, and into the opened door of the sitting room; and the first sight which greeted them was the one above, just beneath the opened roof, as it was full of rocketing, white-and-colourful-lit air-fireworks in the small shapes of all them Nestland Airwayers — with the largest being in the shape of AarryAir and AarrietAir and all about were the others being in the small shapes of Airian and Airianna, Airien and Airienne, warder-dad Airion and warderess-mum Arletta, the boys and girls and their dads and mums; and AarryAir and AarrietAir saw all these ones in the two sitting rooms — the males majorly in the upstairs sitting room, and the females majorly in the downstairs sitting room — and almost all in white as they, as they all happily stared at them, with Airian and Airianna and Airien and Airienne all in front of warder-dad Airion and warderess-mum Arletta, and in a circle behind them and all along the stairs leading to the downstairs sitting room were the boys and girls and their dads and mums, as they all slowly flew and glided all about and all around awaiting.
"HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR AND AARRIETAIR!" Thundered from the air-fireworks above, and after from their family and akins, after which the air-fireworks all exploded.
AarryAir and AarrietAir were all smiles and laughs as they saw all this.
The explosions then reshaped themselves into the air-fireworks shaped as the Nestland Airwayers, and resumed their rocketing.
"Well," warder-dad Airion began as he stared above at the opened roof. "I believe AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas should soon be arriving." And as he spoke this, everyone stared up as if the AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas were already there, and suddenly, out of the open in the air, appeared two very vast, powerful, ostrich-like birds with red-and-white feathers. On top of each of them sat an air-someone ⸺ on the one a male and on the other a female, and behind them packed as one were parcels wrapped in red-and-white papers.
"AIRFATHER AIRSAVIOURMAS! AIRMOTHER AIRSAVIOURMAS!" AarryAir and AarrietAir with the boys and girls cried out as they were joyful at seeing these ones, and eager to receive gifts from them. The dads and mums simply stared awed and joyful at seeing them too, and seeing who and what they were, and thinking that they truly were as it was told.
"YES AIR-BOYS AND AIR-GIRLS, AIRFATHER AIRSAVIOURMAS AND AIRMOTHER AIRSAVIOURMAS ARE HERE!" The two simultaneously shouted out jollily as they soared up from their birds, and the Nestland Airwayers saw that the AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas were both portly, white bearded, white-moustached, and with red-and-white spectacles, and covered in vast red-and-white feathers and plumes, and with vast red-and-white wings and patagia, and with white-and-black-and-red leather belts and boots, and white-and-red caps. They were also a melanodermic air-magician and air-magicianess as their black bodies emitted a black-and-red-and-white air-aureola of air-magic, and were also an air-man and air-woman air-humans.
"AND IN THIS AIRSAVIOURMAS WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU MANY GIFTS!" The two simultaneously shouted out jollily again, as the Nestland Airwayers saw them raise both hands, and all the parcels simultaneously rose up from the birds and flew around them; and encircled by the gifts, they both swooped down into the nest amidst the air-fireworks.
"AND HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS TO THE AIRSAVIOUR AND AIRSAVIOURESS!" Both said as they swooped toward AarryAir and AarrietAir as if they had known them, with they and their gifts pushing their way.
"HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR!" AirFather AirSaviourmas in his jollity said as he reached AarryAir, and grasped the parcel which was directly before him with a big hand, and handed it to him.
"Thank you AirFather AirSaviourmas!" AarryAir amazedly said as he took the parcel, and felt it slightly heavy, wondering what gift it was for him the AirSaviour.
AirMother AirSaviourmas went for AarrietAir and handed her her gift also.
"AND TO YOU, THE AIR-BOYS AND AIR-GIRLS, HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS!" AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas simultaneously said as AirFather AirSaviourmas flew towards the boys one by one and handed them a parcel, while AirMother AirSaviourmas flew to the girls and did same.
"Come AarryAir," warder-dad Airion called to AarryAir, "come and be by the side of AirFather AirSaviourmas!"
AarryAir flew after AirFather AirSaviourmas and followed him. Warderess-mum Arletta also called on AarrietAir to be by the side of AirMother AirSaviourmas and she obeyed, and all eyes were on AarryAir and AarrietAir and AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas.
After AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas had given a gift to all the boys and girls, they then flew to stay in the centre of all of them in-between the two sitting rooms, and both jovially shouted, "HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS!"
"HAPPY AIRSAVIOURMAS!" This was joyfully shouted back by the Nestland Airwayers as they all stayed amidst the air-fireworks.
Then the AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas shifting AarryAir and AarrietAir before them and facing them, again began — and which was picked up by everyone — and all merrily sang as they all stared at AarryAir and AarrietAir. "WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE!"
"WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE!"
"WE THANK YOU AIRSAVIOURS, NOW THAT YOU ARE, WE THANK YOU AIRSAVIOURS AND FOR AIRSAVIOURMAS AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE!"
And all started back fastly and loudest. "WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, WE WISH YOU A MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE, AND A HAPPY AIRSAVIOURS NEW LIFE!" And they all slowly and softly ended as the Nestland Airwayers all learned it was sung so, and had been sung so in the previous AirSaviours' AirSaviourmases.
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS TO THE AIRSAVIOURS!" They all merrily wished to AarryAir and AarrietAir.
"THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!" AarryAir and AarrietAir simultaneously answered.
And all shouted out again.
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRIETAIR!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR AND AARRIETAIR!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AIRSAVIOUR!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AIRSAVIOURESS!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AIRSAVIOUR AND AIRSAVIOURESS!"
"MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR AND AARRIETAIR!" AirFather AirSaviourmas then said in farewell as he started soaring up.
And AirMother AirSaviourmas also wished one last "MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS AARRYAIR AND AARRIETAIR!" and rose up along AirFather AirSaviourmas, and both soared out of the nest, and upon their birds, and wished a last "MERRY AIRSAVIOURMAS!"
"BYE-BYE AIRFATHER AIRSAVIOURMAS! BYE-BYE AIRMOTHER AIRSAVIOURMAS!" AarryAir and AarrietAir and the boys and girls all cried out.
"BYE-BYE AIRSAVIOUR AND AIRSAVIOURESS! BYE-BYE AIR-BOYS AND AIR-GIRLS!" AirFather AirSaviourmas and AirMother AirSaviourmas shouted back, and then their birds disappeared with them.
