The Crown's Mundane

" what'd you mean you're from earth Cristal?" She smiled at her getting engrossed in this conversation.

" It is my little secret " she said with her finger on her lips. " No little secret Cristal it's huge" Zillah exclaimed with her hands in the air.

" How did you get here then?, anyone else knows about this?" She had unending questions for Cristal.

"No one does, I've been here since... Babyhood. It's like I was born a celestial. Don't spill my secret Zillah". She said with intense warning in her eyes

" Was no one supposed to know or you choose not to?". Zillah asked her curiously.

"Well I chose not to tell anyone, not that it's important".

" How do you remember that you aren't a celestial if you were a freaking baby?" That question was it. How on earth could she know if she was a baby when she got here.

" We have records Zillah, no one takes it seriously because they can identify their history, but not me. But I guess I'm not human after all if I was here since birth which still leaves you as the only humanoid here" she smiled happily at Zillah.

" Oh my goodness, I badly wish you were a human, I could discuss Soo much with you and you would understand me. I assume if I say anything no one can communicate with me as much as I wanted to". She blurted out her buried feeling

" It's all gonna be alright Zillah I can relate with you, a whole different way but I sure can relate with you " they both giggled and for the first time Zillah felt like she actually bonded with Cristal.

Their conversations were almost as if they had a quarrel and were avoiding each other, at most they barely talk and Cristal was all about keva unlike the current her.

A soft knock was heard on Zillahs door when she replied to come in.

A celestial peeped through the slightly opened door and announced. "Celestial Omna requires your presence"

Zillah had a small frown on her face that she quickly washed off. "Why would he declare your presence? Cristal asked confused. He could come to you or ask any of the others?"

They had disorganized thoughts to what was going on. " I'll come with you" Cristal distorted Zillahs overthinking. That seemed to have calmed her nerves a bit and she agreed.

How good does it feel to have someone this close with you. Something Zillah never felt since she was on earth. She felt a warmness she hadn't felt in forever.

They both teleported to the library looking for him at his desk but he wasn't there. " Where could he be?" Cristal asked looking around but before she could take a further turn she heard a voice

"I presumed you would be here Zillah". He looked at Cristal. " I didn't ask for your presence did I?" He was referring to Cristal and she blinked twice

"I ... Umm ... well "

" Please leave" He ordered her gently. Cristal took a glare at Zillah hinting her that his actions felt strange. Zillah understood and blinked at her to leave

Cristal teleported away and omna was left with Zillah. " You requested of me?" Omna was known to be serious when matters where either out of control or important. And this looked like one of those times.

" As the supposed librarian and guardian of the celestial, he walked around her, performing my duties is a priority that shouldn't be slacked by me, right?"

He asked for agreement and she only nodded.

" Good girl Zillah. Now, do you recognize this book" He took out the book Zillah had read together with Alvah and she gasped heavily selling her out.

" Yes, you do recognize this book. Tell me why I found this book in your room underneath your rug" He asked ever so seriously.

Zillah had cold feet. Yes she knew the laws and yes she wasn't supposed to be with any book and this book in particular was forbaded to all celestials and it was found in her room.

"Omna please listen to me, she began pleading. I only read for a brief moment and I stopped"

"Why did you have this book in your custody Zillah?" He asked fiercely. She couldn't say what her true intentions where. Why was she reading about Empyreal Ghazan, it might bring up suspicion.

" Well as a new celestial, I only wanted to know more about this place and their heirs, historical legends, am I not supposed to ?"

She was shaking in her hands using this as her trump card and if it didn't work she was done.

"This book is exclusive and you know that, there are other books to be read but you had a motive with this book and what was that Zillah?" He asked furiously. Omna has never retaliated this way with her before and she knew she had extended her limits with him.

No way she was going to expose Alvah and herself. She replied nothing to him but he gave her an answer " Get ready for your punishment" he said and stormed out of the library leaving Zillah scared and dumbfounded.

What did he mean by punishment she asked herself in a grace thought
