Chapter 30. What's in a name?

Once back at Anunnaki High Kendric left with his new pet straight to the exercise room where Zasha was busy practising on her pyrokineses.

'Oh sorry, I didn't know you were here.'

'It's ok Kendric. What have you got there?'

'An Axolotl. A gift from new allies.'

Zasha stared at the strange little creature.

'What's his name?'

'Dunno.'

'You haven't named him?'

'I just got him.'

'Ok, well think about it. It's not much of a pet if you don't give him a name. Anyway, I have to go. See you later.' And Zasha took of through the wormhole in the sky.

'She is right, I have to name you.' And Kendric stared at the axolotl.

The axolotl came up, putting his head on the side of the aquarium. Carefully Kendric touched his little head and stroke him.

'Oh you like that, don't you?'

The axolotl had a little smile on it's face and tried to crawl on to Kendric's hand. Kendric quickly placed his other hand next to the hand where the axolotl had crawled on to, so he didn't accidentally fell off. He stroked him on his back.

'How should I call you? Maybe a superhero name? Like Peter Parker? Or do you like Clark more? Maybe Dean Winchester or Crawley the devil? Salvatore? Nahhh, that's not it. How about Tony, doctor, or Marvel or pfff whatever. This isn't going to work.' And Kendric stared at the axolotl which cuddled in his hand.

'I know what to call you. Axel! Yes, I like it. Axel the axolotl. Scandinavian name I believe. Well wherever it comes from, it suits you!' And the axolotl smiled.

'I see, you like it as well. Well than, it's a done deal.'

Axel dove back into the aquarium.

'Are you hungry? Because I am. But I want to be left alone for a while. I don't have the answers for anyone. I don't want to see the Negatives, nor my friends. So I guess, we aren't eating right now. Is that ok little fella? Just the two of us, for a little while longer? It's actually nice, having you around. Someone to talk to, not afraid of how you react or how others want me to reply. People surrounding me having great impossible expectations. Yes, quite nice! Just us...'

Axel fell asleep but Kendric wasn't tired, only hungry. He couldn't shake this empty feeling from deep within. It had nothing to do with being hungry actually. He felt empty and burdoned. Like Frodo the ring bearer.

'How can I raise the vibration of mankind? How can I, a 15 year old, let humanity evolve into the next phase? Aren't we all just better of if Mes-Sanuri kills us? Do we even deserve to be alive? Maybe King Heliosgâr was right. Well he definitely was right. We humans are still primitive apes. Or actually, we are worse.'

Kendric got up and took Axel with him through the wormhole. He went to the place where he spoke to Enki and sat down in front of the window against the wall from the dark hallway.

'There you are!', Yrsa approached, 'I have bin looking everywhere for you. Have you heard?'

'Heard what?'

'The Negatives made a plan. At least it sounds like a plan. One where you and well we are in the frontline.'

'You're kidding right?

But Yrsa shook her head.

'Wow, just wow.' Said Kendric full in disbelief.

'I know right, crazy!'

'And? Than what?'

'Than we fight I guess.'

'And when will that be?'

'They said we still have some time left. That Mes-Sanuri will use her time to find allies.'

'Why doesn't she come with her own people?'

'I don't know Kendric. I don't have the answers either. I can only hope this war will not be tomorrow. We are so not ready.'

'You got that right! Far from ready. But it sounds like she is going to plan this war carefully. So at one hand, it's good that she probably won't be coming anytime soon. But on the other hand, it means that when she comes, she will be more powerful and harder to stop.'

'She is going for the long haul.'

'Yeah I think so. Making new allies takes time. You have to build on a relationship with someone.'

'To be honest Kendric, I am happy with that.'

'I'm not. When doomsday will come, better sooner than later. Get it over with.'

'That sounds like suïcide.'

'Hah! Yeah because it is!'

'Kendric?', Yrsa stared at him with her beautiful green eyes, 'what are you saying?'

'I don't know Yrsa. Do you believe that with some extra bonus time we will stand a chance?'

Yrsa stared through the window and placed her head against his shoulder.

'Are you afraid? Because I am.'

Kendric looked at Yrsa's beautiful old pink and mint green braids. He could end this, he could end it all. All this fear, for Yrsa, for his friends, his family, just by sacrificing himself. Than lives would be spared.

Yrsa looked at him with her most serious face on: 'Zuberi told me.'

'Told you what?'

'Your plan.'

Kendric turned away from her: 'it's my decision and mine alone.'

'Well actually it's not. Did you ever asked us what we want? A leader should listen to his people!'

And there she was, Yrsa. From sweet to sweetsour to purely sour just within seconds.

'Well tell me Yrsa. What do you want?' He snapped at her.

'To fight together, to do this as a team. To train as a team, work as a team and develop together as a team.'

'And than what?'

'KENDRIC!!! I believe in people, in the goodness of mankind. They are worth saving, you are worth saving! I will fight for us, the question is. Will you?'

'If I sacrifice myself, the world is saved. Problem solved.'

'But we and your family will loose you forever.' And Yrsa looked sad.

'But all of humanity will be saved, our planet will be saved. You will be saved Yrsa!'

'Who says it won't be saved if we fight?'

'And how many will die?'

Yrsa got wet eyes.

'Please Kendric give us time. Give yourself time! By expacting the impossible, everyting will always be out of reach. Walk with me, let us start with what we can do. Get humanity evolving.' Yrsa got up and held out her hand.

Kendric had doubts, but maybe she was right. There was some thruth in the things she said. He took her hand and got up while holding on to Axel's aquarium.

Yrsa led the way to another hallway.

Above a big wooden door hung a sign:

Conference room

She opened the door and to Kendric's suprise the whole group was waiting for them there. Zuberi grabbed him tight and patted his back: 'Good to see you brother.'

'We were hoping you made the right decision and would see you in here. I'm glad you did Kendric.' Kenji said with a friendly smile.

There was a large rectangular table at which they all sat down.

'So, anyone any ideas?' Marcellus asked while he looked around at the others.

'I think we must not overthink things.' Cahya said.

'What do you mean?' Asked Zuberi.

'Maybe since we learned how diverse the universe is, we can't think in simple ways anymore. But we know people, we are people! We know how we think. The beauty of it, is that we are all coming from different parts of the world. So we know our own people and can come up with the best approach.'

Cahya had some good points and the others agreed with her.

'Ok, so we know our own people. All well, but how do you tell someone that they have to meditate instead of hitting the gym daily? How do you tell them that life is so much more than to go to work, eat, sleep and repeat?' Maynard asked.

'There are people who are looking for the meaning of life. Look how many podcast, youtube films and other stuff is to find on the internet. I've read some comments and you see how many want to live in love and light and sharing it with others. Finding innerpeace, want to develop, looking into vibrations, frequencies and so on. You need a lifetime to read up on everything. I think humanity is further than most realise. They are waking up. I don't know what happened the last couple of years, but it began slowly in the past but now people are rapidly consciously growing. Many are understanding that we are the creators, that we all have the power within. They just don't know how to tapp in on it or develop to their full potential. Just like we are learning here and haven't reached our full potential yet.' Kenji noted.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

'How do we exactly reach our full potential?' Marcellus asked.

'Meditation!'

'But how Kenji? Just breathe and space off?' Asked Maynard.

'I don't know, I just know if you do it on a regular basis, you develop. How everything is aranged by the source, I have no clue. I have many questions myself.' And Kenji stared in front of him where he probably repeated all these questions and possible outcomes in his mind.

'Before I came here. I had never read about any of this stuff. Never meditated a day in my life. I was the biggest disbeliever out there. I firmly believed in just live your life and do your thing untill I came here.

But I think we have a head start because the powers that have bin given to us and what they teach us. For ordinary people, it's completely different. We have the proof here all around us! Back on earth most are stuck in their daily routine, not open minded for the evidence that surrounds them. No critical thinkers, just living their lives as they have bin taught. How do you break through a pattern like that?' Yrsa asked them.

'But there are many waiting for a sign, some kind of signal. Deep down, they know there is more. They just don't know exactly what it is, or they think they know it but are missing the acknowledgement. Not everyone wants to dive into a subject where they know that there is no living human who can provide them the answer to it. Governments aren't going to give the people ancient knowledge. You could ask yourself if they even know it themselves or laugh at the idea. So many conspiracy theories circling around, who even knows the truth these day? It is all highly speculative, you can't blame people for living their lives. I also believed no one was coming to rescue us, no one was coming to change the world we live in untill I met you all and this place. I knew life had more to it, just missed out on the affirmation. Because why bother if all things are out of your hands? If it is the world we pollute, or childlabour for our electric cars, clothes and so on. We are just the working class, no power to change it, so we do nothing. We sit, we work, we don't accept it but we accept that we can't do anything about it from a far away country... People need proof. See, smell, feel, hear and especially sense it with their own minds. I think, there is where we've to start.' Gemma said.

'I agree with Gemma. It's a good point to start from. So, what do we want people to see. Which acknowledgement do we want to give them and in which can we provide ourselves?' Asked Yrsa while she looked at Kendric.

'Oh don't look at me.' Kendric said while he played with Axel not planning to put an effort in this thinktank.

'How about going on live television? Or hack a broadcast?' Marcellus asked.

'And than what? Perform a little monkey show?' Maynard asked sarcastic.

'Got any better ideas than?' Marcellus responded.

'Ok, it's an idea. Better and quicker than visiting country by country right?' Zuberi noted.

'Uhm, one problem with that. Outting ourselves as truthseekers? Isn't it forbidden? Aren't we supposed to be a secret?' Cree asked and Kendric quickly looked up and remembered him from the first week. The native American which is in the purple colour class together with Yrsa. Kenji confirmed, the one with all the schoolrules stored in his mind.

'How else are we going to pull this of than?' Zuberi asked.

Everyone stared clueless to the ground. Kendric was still in his own little negative world but began to feel the urge to help his friends out. Hell, to help himself out. It was after all his mission. He is supposed to be the leader. Het got up with self convidence.

'How about we create our own youtube channel and make accounts on all the other social media as well. We post proof on a daily basis. Create a following and the rest will work itself out.' Kendric said out of the blue after being absent in their conversation.

'Like our own conspiracy channel but than as a 100% reliable source? Yes! That's a great idea!' Marcellus said and immediatly took out his laptop.

'I think Marcellus should edit and post the online content. I certainly have no clue of social media. Than we have to take care of the information gathering. It can't be another vague youtube channel with vague content. We need hard facts and evidence to be the biggest and best out there. There are letterly millions of channels all spreading their theories. We need a plan.' Kendric noted and finally embraced the task to lead the group. He felt inspired, he felt that this was the right way to approach. He could feel it, his intuition was vibrating strongly to this idea.

'Groupthinking, who would've know we would become a thinktank.' Joked Zuberi. The others had to laugh and some gave high fives to eachother.

'We can do this. It will start slow, but we need patience for this plan. It's smart, it really is!' Yrsa said while she smiled at Kendric.

Hah, me smart. Who would've thought?

'We can go in disguise online.'

'Great idea Cahya! Any ideas on what to where?' Kenji asked.

'I think we should stay in our bodysuits only the masks will be a problem. They can't be matching with our white bodysuits, we would look like Clone troopers.' Joked Kendric and everybody laughed.

'How about an alien mask?' Harlow asked.

'Nah, way to obvious. I think people quickly assume we are fakes than. It's like tempting fate. We need something so that people will take us serious.' Cahya noted.

'How about the universe projected on our masks? Like all black masks with stars and the Milky way on it or any constellation, supernova or whatever. Maybe some pictures from the James Webb telescope? It would be perfect since we would need to see and we could use black gauze for our eyes and after all we represent the cosmos right?' Kenji asked.

'Perfect, I like that! It would definitely make an impact.' Zuberi noted and the others agreed.

'We would look kinda awesome.' And Marcellus smiled with joy.

'Well I don't know about that but at least it looks original right? We distinguish ourselves from others with it.' Kendric noted.

'How about a big T on our bodysuits with some kind of symbol? A symbol that represents us.' Apollo asked

Kendric didn't know Apollo yet besides that one time Master Uruk mentioned his name in the messhall.

'Yeah sorry, I design clothes in my free time at home. So I thought maybe we should personalise it more. But if you guys don't like it, it's ok.' He shyly noted.

'No, no! I think it's a great idea!' Cahya said and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

'We would have our own signature clothing. I love it!' Zasha said and the girls all giggled.

'Great, so uhm Apollo, can you do the designing part?' Kendric asked and Apollo nodded with a happy smile on his face.

'The letter T from Truthseekers. But are we going to post under that name or do we let people guess where the T stands for?' Marcellus cleverly noted.

That was a good one. Were they even allowed?

'I think we should stick with our name. We are after all truthseekers. No one will know anything from this place even if we post under that name. It's just a name...' Said Cree.

'Yes, but we are bringing truth. Isn't that confusing if we got famous as truthseekers while we are actually bringing it?' Kenji noted.

'Agreed. We are truthbringers to them. But I don't like that name at all.' Yrsa stating the obvious.

'How about Bringers Of Truth?' Kendric opted his idea.

'B.O.T. crazy cool! I love the double meaning of it. You know bot's?' Marcellus noted as the computer geak he was.

'Ok so I place three letters on the bodysuits than. How about the symbol?' Apollo asked.

'Make it like black turmalin in a pyramid form just like our school. That's going to be our symbol. A black turmalin pyramid with the letters B.O.T. in it. It stays simple that way, simple but it will stand out. Oh and place a strand of DNA underneath the letters or like a letter bar. Whatever is more uncluttered.' Kendric noted.

Everyone loved the idea and Apollo began sketching inmediatly.

'Ok, so we post under the name B.O.T. Marcellus is responsible for editing and posting.

Apollo is responsible for designing the costumes. Do you need any help with that?' Kendric asked.

'I can help, I learn how to sew from my grandma.'

'Ok great Gemma, you work with Apollo. Than let me see, filming?'

'I am a hobby photographer in my spare time.' Said Cree.

'I like to film things. Nothing special but well.' Said Harlow.

'Great, the two of you will film and make photos than. How about you Marcellus, do you need any help with all the social platforms?'

'Yes, definitely! Way to much for one person. I need at least 2 people.'

Yrsa, Cahya, Kenji and Zuberi offered to help out.

'I am sorry Zuberi and Kenji, but I need you in our team to create the content. With your telekineses and divination powers so cleary visible to others or easy to do a demonstration, instead of the transmedium powers from Yrsa, astral projection from Cahya or the psychokinesis from Harlow for example.'

Kenji nodded that he understood.

'I need all the active powers to create content. Zasha with your pyrokineses we can make awesome videos. Candace your levitation, that's just perfect! Maynard, your apportation will work great as well in the videos and come to think of it. When people blame us to be fakes, we need to do some live shows as well once we have many followers. Like on the streets. So people know we don't cheat and we gain even more followers when people go live if we perform.' And Kendric looked at the group. They clearly all agreed with him.
