Aamin and Aamina, as their parents, were totally trustful of Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia, Airian and Airianna, Airien and Airienne, and AarryAir and AarrietAir, and their companioning boys and girls, as well as also Aantin Jr and Aantine who seemed to dislike the former; and this trust was because they saw them and their parents as every bit as human as them, and this trust was very rare of them, as they as their parents stayed suspectful and untrustful of most humans fearing that they could be secretly air-humans.
They as their parents had seen them as normal and natural humans as any human could be, had admired them as human hunters as they, admired them being absolutely abhorrent to magic and magic practicers as they, and admired their assistance of them in their air-wizarders and air-wizards' air-hunts in which they even captured and brought in more air-humans than they.
Though they loved Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia, Airian and Airianna, Airien and Airienne, and AarryAir and AarrietAir, and their companioning boys and girls as they were melanodermic-skinned as they and engaged in their melanodermship and melanodermism, they as well loved Aantin Jr and Aantine as these ones though leucodermic-skinned, did not behave bigot and racist and supremacist towards them as other leucodermics, but were awesomely amiable and amicable towards them.
Aamin and Aamina as they grew up, also as their parents who were accompanying with Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie, Mr and Mrs Airsley, Mr and Mrs Airanie, Mr and Mrs Gasanie, Mr and Mrs Featheranie, Mr and Mrs Plumeanie, Mr and Mrs Winganie, Mr and Mrs Patagiumanie, Mr and Mrs Flyanie, Mr and Mrs Glideanie, and Mr and Mrs Onehumanairanie; also always accompanied with Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia and Airian and Airianna the most of all the children, whom they favoured the most too, and with whom they always explored the air-hunting activities of their parents ⸺ though Airien and Airienne, and AarryAir and AarrietAir, as well as Airboyie and Airgirlia, Gasboyie and Gasgirlia, Featherboyie and Feathergirlia, Plumeboyie and Plumegirlia, Wingboyie and Winggirlia, Patagiumboyie and Patagiumgirlia, Flyboyie and Flygirlia, Glideboyie and Glidegirlia, and Onehumanairboyie and Onehumanairgirlia occasionally accompanied them.
They also accompanied with Aantin Jr and Aantine, though more with them than the other boys and girls except for Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia and Airian and Airianna; and Aantin Jr and Aantine always insisted on being with them without the other boys and girls around, and Aamin and Aamina never understood this attitude of theirs towards the other boys and girls.
Aamin and Aamina's parents almost always carried out their air-wizarders and air-wizards' air-hunting activities with Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley, and occasionally with the other parents, though more with Mr and Mrs Aafack, who were always actively engaged in them as their parents; and just as their children were always eager and enthusiastic at examining the air-hunting activities as them, or even accompanying their parents to the air-hunting activities as they did just today; and Aamin and Aamina were so excited as they saw Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia and Airian and Airianna and the other boys and girls come to the zoo with their parents as they had impatiently awaited them to show them the latest of their air-hunting activities which had seen the capture of the alien air-beasts or air-beings, which their parents admitted was the greatest accomplishment done so far in their air-hunting activities.
But the behaviour of Mr Otherhumanairanie and Mr Airsley and the other fathers just now totally surprised Aamin, as well as that of Otherhumanairboyie and Airian, and the other boys. They had not engaged against those air-wizarders and air-wizards as they attacked and struck and carried away his father, but had rather surprisingly stayed inactive and immobile, and watched the air-wizarders and air-wizards have their way.
What struck him again was that they did not just stayed silent watching these air-wizarders and air-wizards do, but the air-wizarders and air-wizards also did not do anything against them, as he knew and as he had always been told that these ones always attacked any human who sighted or saw them, and shot their killing spells at them, which was what they did on his father; though it was again surprisingly what they had not done on Mr Otherhumanairanie and Mr Airsley and the other fathers and Otherhumanairboyie and Airian and the other boys who were humans as his father and him . . .. The one who had taken away his father had raised up his hood and stared at Mr Otherhumanairanie and Mr Airsley and the other fathers, and though it was not a friendly stare, it had seemed to him a stare which showed acquaintance to them . . . or was he imagining it . . .? He had however not seen well the face which had been white-painted as that of the others as if they were concealing their identities. Ha!, he thought as he rememorated those terrible and terrifying air-wizarders and air-wizards he was seeing for the first time, and for the first time seeing feathers and plumes, and wings and patagia on people, and not to talk of those their hoods and robes and cloaks, with those their air-wands and air-woots, as he had been told all these and many more of how they usually looked.
Aamin as he ran away, thought on all these things, and avoided thinking on the obvious that they had done to his father. His father, he painfully thought, his father whom with his mother, and Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley and the other parents had always told him and Aamina, and Otherhumanairboyie and Otherhumanairgirlia and Airian and Airianna and the other boys and girls to flee fastest if they ever met any air-wizarders and air-wizards. His father whom with his mother had told him and his sister that if they ever met any air-wizarders and air-wizards, and in case him or his mother were not present, they were to then flee to Mr and Mrs Otherhumanairanie and Mr and Mrs Airsley and the other parents. But as it had happened, and this the only one time, he had not been able because it had somehow seemed to him what not to do from what he saw of the acting of Mr Otherhumanairanie and Mr Airsley and the other fathers. So strange all of this, he thought.
He had however been lucky, he thought, that the air-wizarders and air-wizards had somehow strangely not spotted him, and he was also oddly happy that Mr Otherhumanairanie and Mr Airsley and the other fathers had not minded him. He ran and ran and ran, though he did not know to who or whom to run to seek for help from, as he had been told to do so, if neither his parents nor the other parents were present to protect him from any air-wizarders and air-wizards. He guessed he would just accost anyone . . . and the first one so, which he met for help.
As he ran thinking, he did not take note of the surrounding around him, and so did not see that instead of running along the main walkway of the birds' zoo and out of it as he was thinking he was doing, he was instead running along a walkway which led not out of the birds' zoo but kept on going and going and going with the gardens and sanctuaries and shelters on both sides of it continuing and continuing and continuing. He only noticed that something was strange when it suddenly came to him that he had run long enough to be already out of the birds' zoo.
He then abruptly stopped and stared all around. What was going on, he thought. The walkway continued on he saw, but no gate was at its end he alarmingly saw as the walkway simply went on and on and on with the gardens and sanctuaries and shelters on both sides, though he knew that the gate was slightly seen even when one was at the end of the walkway before the gate which led into the air-magic air-creatures' garden. He then turned to stare the other way, and there was not in view the end of the walkway and the gate leading into the air-magic air-creatures' garden, as the walkway again went on and on and on with the gardens and sanctuaries and shelters on both sides.
Then he began to be agitated and terrified. What was going on, he thought again. What was really going on, he thought as he ceaselessly stared at both front and back of the now endless walkway. Was this that air and air-magic that was played on him? Was this that atrocious air-wizardercraft and air-wizardcraft and air-wizardery and air-wizardry played on him? He thought.
Then a series of chittering and chirruping cries resounded in the surrounding as Aamin alone there terribly trembled. The cries were soon accompanied by the wildest windstorms which shot down from the sunny sky in the midst of which was a flock of a most frightful air-magic air-beasts ⸺ the birdogres they were, as AarryAir with Airien and Airian by his sides, and the boys behind, hurried on, and unbelievingly saw them, and winced as they scaredly stared at each other, fearing the humans had heard these ones too.
The birdogres were all-black, huge, human-child-eating, bird-like air-beasts with spiky feathers, and spikes upon their wings, and spiky crests, who were composed of the wilder avioogres and wildest ornithoogres, as AarryAir and the boys knew them again from books about air-creatures and air-beasts of the air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-land and air-world, and again were seeing them for the first time. AarryAir and the boys astoundingly stared at each other as they wondered how these air-beasts had arrived in the human world, as they stayed only in the air-wizardering and air-wizarding air-land and air-world where they preyed on human children they favoured as they did not go after air-human children for the air-magic in them seemed deadly to them. How had they arrive the human world, they wondered again. Had the Asafacks succeeded in impossibly hunting and catching these ones too? Had they been held captive in the other buildings of the birds' zoo and had succeeded in evading and scenting and coming for the human-child Aamin? They wondered.
AarryAir and the boys then saw Aamin in all terrors as his eyes were wide-opened, and he was shivering and gibbering as he stared at the oncoming beasts. He was in such a terrorized state that it seemed as if he did not notice they were there, and AarryAir and Otherhumanairboyie and Airian then went to him as the other boys followed them. Not knowing what else to do, they however knew that the avioogres and ornithoogres, human-child-eating as they were, would soon aim for Aamin, and they all surrounded him as they gathered all their courage to face the birdogres when they launched at them. Aamin still was so terrorized that it seemed he wasn't even seeing them all around him.
And they were right, as the avioogres and ornithoogres swooping down, and a few feet from them, all waved their feet forwards at them, and the windstorms whooshed at AarryAir and the boys, and these ones saw themselves easily and swiftly carried and whirled up in the air, and the windstorms with them within simply whirled and whirled and whirled all over in the air. AarryAir in the air, and powerless to the windstorm whirling and whirling and whirling him, then saw how the others too were whirled and whirled and whirled all about. He then struggled to see what was happening down at Aamin, and when he succeeded in doing so, he panickedly saw the avioogres in front and the ornithoogres behind all approach Aamin as they chittered and chirruped, and it seemed as if Aamin had passed out as he lay on the ground no longer shaking but motionless.
Then the avioogres all surrounded Aamin as AarryAir sickeningly saw, and he then wholeheartedly wished that his warder-dad and the other dads should come at this instant for them ⸺ and he saw as the birdogres' beaks lowered down at Aamin.
AAOOM! the sudden sound of another explosion resonated, alarming AarryAir and the boys in the windstorms, as well as the avioogres and ornithoogres who raised up their heads, and instantly appeared another dissipating white-and-black powder in the midst of which were several white-and-black hooded, and robed and cloaked or feathered and plumed, and winged and patagiumed, and white-painted face air-wizarder and air-wizard air-children, who with air-wands and air-woots held up and ready, immediately pointed them at the avioogres and ornithoogres, and all shouted, "ALLUMINARO!" and small, blue-red balls of fire swiftly shot out of the wands and woots and struck at the avioogres and ornithoogres who were preparing to whoosh their windstorms at the air-children. The birdogres then emitted a most calamitous chitters and chirrups as their feathers and body were immediately afire, and they immediately flew away from Aamin, and up in the air and far, farthest up as they wildly flapped their feathers and waved their wings as if trying to put out the fire which only stoke on.
Their windstorms upon AarryAir and the boys also stopped as these ones let themselves fall to the ground to groans, and hurts and pains, as they did not dare use air-magic or fly or glide as they had been forbidden to do so in the human hamlet by their parents, for fear of being caught by any human they might not have seen.
One of the air-children then moved forward, and then stopped before unconscious Aamin and picked him up and put him on his shoulders. The child then turned to AarryAir and the boys who had stayed on the ground groaning and gnashing as they recovered from the pains of the fall, and he lifted up his hood slightly, and they all unsurprisingly saw it was Aantin Jr, and also unsurprisingly saw the same sneering and seething stare on his face.
Aantin Jr then turned to the others and gestured to them, and they wordlessly soared up evidently at the avioogres and ornithoogres, and without a word of his own, Aantin Jr gave another seething stare at AarryAir and at his warder-brothers and the boys, and then lowered down his hood as the same white-and-black powder instantly apparated and disapparated with him.
AarryAir and his warder-brothers and the boys then stared up at the skies as they saw the other air-children in a circle shoot sparky air-spells at the avioogres and ornithoogres, and these ones all flew to gather in one place. They then watched as after the same white-and-black powder instantly apparated and disapparated with the air-children and the birdogres, and AarryAir as he had observed the air-children saw one of them be all Aanklin.
After they disappeared, AarryAir and his warder-brothers and the boys stared at one another again, wondering at Aantin Jr and his buddies with wands and woots, and how they skilfully spelled with them, and most of all how they seemed to be masterful of air-magic and most drearily anti-air-magic; and this troubled them on what they could do, and do against them who had no wands and woots, and spelled no spells, and knew not much of real air-magic.
AarryAir also wondered if with all what had just happened, the humans had had knowledge of any of them, and he believed it unlikely as he was sure that the Aafacks and their companions intervening everywhere had made sure of that, as he was sure that the Aafacks carrying away of Mr Asafack and Aamin was to obliterate from their memories any air-magics and air-magical acts they had seen, as they usually did so when it was the case. He was also sure that his warder-dad and the other dads were seeing to it that the humans caught nothing of the air-magic air-creatures and air-magic, and dutifully attending to any who might have seen them ⸺ and so just did his warder-dad and the other dads arrive with wands and woots held up . . ., and they pointed them at them . . ., and AarryAir and his warder-brothers and the boys stared at this in astony.
