'Brother, please don't.' Zuberi asked afraid of what would happen while Kendric slowly approached the illuminating symbols.

'I need to do this Zuberi, trust me.' And Kendric went forward with his indexfinger pointing to some sort of fish symbol.

As soon as he touched the illuminating fish symbol a pyramid arose from the dust. But this one looked very different than the ones Kendric came to know, way smaller than the ones on earth and it was build from cornerstones who were made out of a single piece. He knew this kind of stones from pictures of buildings in South America. Earthquake proof buildings as far as he could remember from what he once read about them. He stood infront of a small entrance without any door.

'Shall we?' He asked the others while he tried to see what laid beyond the entrance.

'Guys, Maynard here, have you find anything? We are loosing big time! Over.'

Zuberi, Marcellus and Kenji quickly exchanged eyecontact and Marcellus decided to anwer Maynar: 'come quickly, we need you. I put my tracker on.'

'Are we sure we want to do this?' Zuberi had a bad feeling about this and you could here his doubt in his shivering voice.

But Kendric didn't wait for them to get over their fear and doubts, so he entered the pyramid. They rushed after him trying to keep up, meanwhile hearing Maynard over the intercom shouting that he was coming. He was definitely running since his heavily breathing echoed through the long dark corridor from the pyramid.

Kendric stopped suddenly and stared at a large golden plated door with a fish doorknocker in the middle. He placed his hand on the doorknocker, pushed and pulled but nothing happened. He looked at his hand and noticed he had a deep cut in the palm of his hand and it heavily bleeded. He placed his bloody hand on the doorknocker but this time he didn't moved his hand, not even an inch. The door slowly opened with a lot of noise. The loud creak sounded as if the door hadn't been opened for many years.

Maynard came running and stumbled on Zuberi's foot. As he almost fell to the ground he tried to catch his breath while staring at the large golden plated door. 'Do I even want to know?'

Kendric pushed the door open with his hand still heavily bleeding. He entered an eggshaped chamber filled with ancient murals. The others followed him into the odd room and observed the murals from upclose. There was so much to see, it was as stunning as it was creepy and they feared for the story that was written with these murals.

'Kendric, I believe...'

'I know Kenji, it's the flood.'

'The flood? As in the one from the Bible?' Maynard asked in astonishing unable to believe his own eyes.

'Yes that one, though different. Look!' Kendric pointed out the DNA sequences that were stored on 'which looked like Noah's Arch.

'How is your connection with the Sourche? Still severed?' Kenji asked while he observed somy ancient writing on a wall in the hopes Kendric could translate it.

'I don't know, I can't really explain. My powers work differently here, the connection is severed though I have this strange, powerful sixth sense going on. I know only one thing for sure. We need to be here, I think this is the entrance to the column caves.'

The boys all looked with a woozy facial expression at Kendric now, all not comprehending how this could possibly be the entrance of the column caves underneath the Pyramids in Egypt on Earth!

'I know, just don't ask me how because that part is unclear to me as well. You see this?', and he points out the Anunnaki in the heaven's, 'look, they wait for the flood to be over and hoover above the pyramids.'

As he points out the pyramids, they notice that underneath the sand the pyramids continues in large columns and apperently we only saw the top of the pyramids for all those years. The columns -filled with Ana'kh- go deep into the ground.

'For how many years are the Anunnaki on our planet? This, this is ancient...' Zuberi stood in amazement before the story on the wall.

'Many, many years. They created us you know? Manipulated our DNA. Enki made us, the O negatives and me. I came directly from him.'

'Kendric, which bloodtype do you have?' Kenji asked slowly rhyming two and two together now.

'Rhesus-null.'

They all stood in even more amazement, realising how rare it was.

'Well that explains the bloody hand and the door opening. This is Enki's chamber.' Concluded Marcellus.

'But what are we supposed to do here?' Maynard asked busy observing the story on the wall while trying to make sense out of it.

'I was drawn in because...' Kendric's mind was racing. Why? Why was he here? Why was the link with the Source severed? What had the big flood to do with this all?

Suddenly, he knew: 'guys, we have to go into the Column caves and turn on Earth's defense system.'

'Uhm yeah, sounds great and all. But how exactly are we supposed to do that? And shouldn't we do this as an official mission and maybe with help from at least Master Uruk or one of the other teachers?' Marcellus stating the obvious problems laying ahead of them and what they actually should do, apparently approach their teachers with their findings.

But Kendric knew exactly who they needed and it wasn't one of their teachers. They needed to go back to the source of it all, back to the start, the beginning of the Anunnaki on Earth, back to there origins...

As he sat down on the ground cross-legged he went into a deep meditative state. He focused on reaching out to Enki without saying a word. Just focussing all his thoughts onto him.

I am here my son.

Kendric opened up his eyes and looked at the ceiling. A blue orb came flying through and transformed to Enki, the Anunnaki Deity.

'Wowwww.' The boys said simultaneously and made a deep bow.

While they remained kneeling Kendric laughed and embraced Enki.

'Good to see you Enki.'

'I see you have found my secret chamber,' and Kendric nodded while Enki walked around observing his chamber,'you realise it is because of my blood that runs through your veigns right?' Enki shared and Kendric nodded his head again.

'Why is my connection to the Source severed here?'

'Ah yes, another great invention. Electro magnetic forcefield preventing any connection with the outside. Well that and Planet 9 ofcourse. The interference of this Planet, just marvellous!'

'But why?'

'Because of the column caves ofcourse. It was to be entered only by my brother and me. Earth's defences depended on it for a long time against great enemies. This was before the existence of the galactic federation. We weren't friends in those days and many were at war, always seeking resources like your gold on Earth. We had to defend you little mindless apes and so we did at great lengths.'

The boys had to laugh while still bending on one knee.

'Oh get up my children. There is no time to waiste. We will leave this instant.'

'Are you coming with us?' Marcellus asked astonished and Enki gave him his friendly yet joyful smile as if he longed for this day for multiple centuries. He probably did...

Enki made some weird sign with his hand, it looked much at the waving symbols they made at school to let something appear. A little column, again with Ana'kh writing on the sided, appeared from the ground. He took Kendric by the hand and let the drops of blood fall from his hand on to the column which made a hole in the ground appear. The boys carefully looked over the edge to see how deep it was but it was neverending.

'Uhm no thanks.' Maynard refused already, knowing what was to come.

This time the boys agreed with Maynard. There was just no way they would jump in. Kendric knew it was safe for them to jump into the neverending hole. He could feel it in his gut. He stood at the edge and smiled at his friends, letting them know it was ok to jump and so he led by example even before they could scream out his name. They looked worried but knew in this instant that there was no way back and took a dive into the neverending hole followed by Enki.
