Kendric slowly regained consciousness. While opening his eyes everything was still pitch black untill his vision slowly came back to him. He laid on the ground and noticed a very high ceiling, if you could even call it like that. The universe seemed to be painted on it, but it moved around and looked so realistic. Pure perfection which felt like he stepped into the movie "back to the future" while feeling he was in an ancient scenary at the same time. Surreal to say the least. He stared to his right and saw a man sitting on what appeared to be a silver disc floating in the air. He rubbed into his eyes while he continued staring at the strange looking man, thinking his eyes were deceiving him. But the man still sat on his silver floating disc in silence with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, like a meditating Bhudda.
Kendric came up and scraped his throat overly loud so that the man could come out of his trance or whatever it was he was doing. But the man didn't open his eyes, he didn't react in any way or whatsoever. For a second Kendric doubted whether the man was even alive or a wax statue. While he looked upon the neverending, mixed ancient and futuristic ceiling at the same time he suddenly got tapped on his shoulder. He looked to his right and there stood the man who just a second ago floated and acted like a wax statue. The man was old, but not Gandalf like old. Just like this building was a lord of the rings like fantasy piece of art, this man appeared to be in his fifty's or so.
'I know your are confused, but I want to welcome you to Anunnaki high young master Kendrick,' he said with a calm Morgan Freeman like voice.
He even looked a bit like him but than the younger version. If he said that he was the son of Morgan Freeman, Kendric would've believed him instantly. Before he could ask this Mr. Freeman look a like, meditation, ninja turtle something, the man continued to speak with his calming deep voice while he took his grey robe in his one hand and pulled with his other hand at his brown-grey loose fitted ninja suit underneath it.
'We have waited for you young thruthseeker and now it is finally time.'
Kendric followed the man and wondered if he even walked or just floated forward. He coudn't see any feet due to the robe and his legs werent moving forward either.
This must be a dream.
Kendric wondered what he was doing and remembered he passed out in uncle Jerry's garten.
'Did you say Anunnaki high?' he asked uncertain, not sure what to think of it all.
Was this a coincidence, Anunnaki as in what J.P. had hidden in his signature? Man, I must've hit my head pretty hard! Kendric's thoughts were spinning around. The man turned around and nodded.
'You know you're not dreaming, many came before you, asking themselves the same questions as you do now. I will explain everything in time. Just know this is real!' And he continued floating forward.
Kendric didn't follow the man this time and turned actually from anxious to irritated in a split second.
'All nice and well, your riddle speaking whatevers, but who are you?' he asked while the irritation of not knowing anything overwhelmed him.
But the man continued walking or floating or however he was going forward and Kendric looked lost. There wasn't much to do than to follow the man with his riddles and so he did. While he followed the man in the endless hallway without any doors and no end in sight he looked around to figure out anything about where he was. All of a sudden he heares the Morgan Freeman voice in his head: 'I am master Uruk. Don't worry young master Kendric, accept your faith, embrace it.'
Telepathy, really?
Kendric's mind was racing thoughts by now. He decided to just walk and wait and see what's next. Not that he had any other choice in the matter...
Master Uruk stopped and a large wizard looking staf appeared out of thin air in his hand and he tapped with it two times on the ground. A black hole appeared right in front of them. Kendric wondered if this was a wormhole, he thought he recognised some features from it from the many series and science fiction movies he watched. It was like a black spiral, a tunnel or a tube thingy. Like people describe when they claim they had a near-death experience.
Master Uruk stepped into the wormhole, uncertain if he should follow, Kendric decided to do so to. Before he knew it, he found himself standing in a big messhall. There were golden tabletops floating in the air and children sitting everywhere on floating golden discs.
'Welcome in the golden messhall.' Master Uruk said with a friendly smile and floated to a big long tabletop on a stage where other grownups -whom appear to be teachers- in long beige robes were sitting.

While he went up the golden stairs which was placed right in front of the big table that was made out of turmalin or some kind of dark rocks, Kendric discovered that the man wasn't floating at all. He just walked like Avatar Aang "twinkletoes" from the last airbender, as light as a feather.
The children all looked at him but weren't showing any emotion. While he stood there hopelessly and became more desperate by the minute, Master Uruk loudly scraped his throat into what it seemed to be a little flying white object which was as quick as the snitch from Harry Potter. He almost couldn't follow the little robot/webcam/drone/UFO or whatever it's suppose to be. Master Uruk's voice echoes through the big golden messhall.
'Welcome students of Anunnaki High! I hope you found your way with your spiritguides and you are well informed of your purpose by now. Behind you, you can withness your teamleader of this year. Meet Kendric Origins.
He said what now? Teamleader? Me?
He is my pupil, the one we have bin waiting for, for a very long time. For many generations that were born into this world he finally arrived. The chosen one who is here to accept his destiny with dignity and grace. Remember he is not up to speed, since he still needs to recieve enlightenment. So take it easy with him with your knowledge and make him feel welcome.' Master Uruk smiled to all the children and than scraped his voice again only to speak out louder now with a more heavy voice.
'The time has finally come to wake up the world, to bring truth to mankind. We celebrate today, young truthseekers. How you recieve the honor of saving mankind and will recieve the ancient knowledge which is hidden for to long. We celebrate: Anunnaki day!'
The children jumped up and screamed loudly all around Kendric. Kendric looked more confused than he ever did before.
If I am dreaming, than what the heck is this for a crazy, sick fantasy?
He wanted to turn around and flee, only to bump into a very tall boy. His skin color was dark but at the same time he had a red glow to it as well.
The boy put an arm around him and took him to his table and spoke with a calm voice: 'Sit down here, calm down. You have nothing to fear, you are among friends here.'
He had a little accent in his English, it sounded from Africa but from which country? Kendrick had no clue.
'My name is Zuberi, I am from Tanzania, where are you from?' he asked Kendric while looking at him with his big round eyes and wide friendly smile.
Before Kendric could answer his question, Zuberi made a hand gesture and all of a sudden a transparant screen popped up out of the table. The guy pressed some buttons and a glass of Coke appeared in front of him. Zuberi asked Kendric if he wanted to have something to drink, that he could have anything he want. Kendric's face showed how supprised he was by the modern technology and told Zuberi he would like a Coke as well. Within a second the Coke stood in front of him.
'Awesome!!!' Kendric yelled enthousiastic.
'I am from Scotland,' he answered while zipping out of his Coke glass, 'what is this place?'
Zuberi laughed: 'I am also new here, we had like this crash course introduction from some kind of guide. I passed out, woke up, some guide told me in a telepathic way what this was all about like within 10 seconds and then everything was ok and we came here in the golden messhall waiting for you. It was like I had a super futuristic crash course at warpspeed. This is our new highschool. But Master Uruk will give you the royal treatment later for sure, have patience my brother.' Zuberi smiled and then finished his Coke within one zip.
Kendric stared around through the golden messhall and his eye fell on a girl with long hair in viking looking braids, old pink coloured on top and mintgreen at the bottom. For a second they shared eyecontact with eachother and he noticed her strange but beautiful looking green eyes, like they were shining like a mineral rock. She showed a tiny smile and then continued talking with this small and odd looking litte Italian dude. It looked as if he got lost in her eyes and nodded yes continuously without really participating in the conversation. He looked in love, as in love at first sight...
But who could blame him? She was truly beautiful.
She stared back at Kendric and now the spell casted from her beautiful green eyes which kept this odd little Italian dude in trance, was broken. Since he noticed that her attention was devided and obviously wasn't amused by it. They both looked at Kendric and he turned around with the speed of light.
Zuberi laughed: 'Don't go there brother, we have much to do.'
Kendric escaped out of his some kind of shockwave of all this first impressions he had, which had bin so overwhelming.
What the hell was he doing here? Why was he here? And where is here?
So many questions arose again but then he saw Master Uruk standing up and he walked to a huge horn which stood on the left side of the stage. He saw this horn before, in one of uncle Jerry's photoalbums of Nepal if he remembered correctly. Master Uruk blew on the horn and this long, extreme low tones came out. It sounded so monotone. All the children got up and all of a sudden this strange looking lightbeings or whatever they were, popped up and took the pupils by their hands and went out of the golden messhall.
Everything felt so surreal, like he landed himself on the set of Star Wars. He looked around until everyone had left and then looked back at the long turmalin table and horn where Master Uruk still stood who now went downstairs and walked towards Kendric. Kendric felt nervous. He was so anxious to know, well about everything. Master Uruk tapped with his lizard staf on the ground and his silver disc reappeared, he tapped again and another one popped up.
'Sit, young master Kendric,' and he made a gesture with his hand to the floating silver disc while he sat down on his. Kendric installed himself on the floating disc which felt so small and not steady at all without any chair legs or a backrest. Master Uruk tapped on his own legs which were now cross-legged again on the disc, suggesting Kendric did the same. Kendric wondered how you could sit cross-legged on such a small seat and he struggled to keep his legs on the floating disc.
Master Uruk made with his staff some strange looking ninja movement and then he yelled with a loud, dark voice: "enlightment."
