'Hey sleepyhead, wake up bro.'

Kendric opened his eyes and saw Zuberi standing before him with his ridiculous big smile and eyes that seemed to pop out of his skull from exitement any moment now.

'What time is it?'

But Zuberi laughed and said: 'About 5 minutes before you miss out on breakfast and get your ass whipped by Master Batuo.'

Kendric jumped down and opened his closet. He didn't know who this master whatever was but he didn't care. He needed some breakfast to belong to the living instead of the walking dead as how he felt at this moment.

The bed was so comfy that he could sleep in it all day. He looked in his closet and pulled out the white robe which looked like a blanket or something. Together they walked to the bathroom and he went into one of the changing rooms. He looked at the white robe.

How the heck am I suppose to wear this?

The robe had two long sleeves and a hole in the middle. He pulled it over his head and got his arms through the sleeves. On the right side of the robe some sort of rope was hanging at a loop and he bound it at his middle.

What am I suppose to do with the long rope which is left over? Make a knot or bow out of it or something?

He walked out the changing room and he heared Marcellus and Zuberi laughing with some Asian looking dude next to them.

'What?' He said annoyed while still fighting with the rope.

'May I?' Asked the Asian looking guy polite. And he double bound the rope, hanging comfortable on his hips.

'I am Kenji, nice to meet you,' and he greeted Kendric in a Japanese kind of way with his hands pressed together while making a bow.

Marcellus and Zuberi were doing their hair and Kendric went to the first pillar and pushed the hairbrush button on the touchscreen. His blond locks and his face got automatically brushed and cleaned.

Awesome! I could live like this!

He walked back to his bunk bed and placed his pajamas in the drawer of the closet which he heard washing again like yesterday evening in the shower. He saw something at the bottom which supposed to be shoes but he doubted they were. They could easily be slippers as well. Zuberi put those exact brown leather "shoes" on and as soon as he had them on they automatically adjusted to his feet. Kind of cool to watch, like a sock surrounding his feet made out of nano particles. Kendric put them on and as soon as he slided into the shoes they crawled as ants over his feet. He lifted his right foot from the ground and it felt as light as a feather.

All the boys were leaving the dormitory without any backpacks or what so ever. Zuberi grabbed his shoulder and pushed him forward.

'Let's eat!' Marcellus screamed and ran to the exit.

Was this guy always so energetic?

Kendric smiled, Marcellus was like a young annoying little brother he never had. Overly joy, yeah, just annoying.

They jumped through the wormhole back to the hallway and followed the others to the golden messhall. All the floating golden tables were filled with students and somewhere from the back Marcellus waved at them.

They walked to Marcellus table and there she was, Yrsa... Even more beautiful than yesterday. She changed her braids, they were all on top of her head bound together in a high ponytail. She looked like a queen or even better yet, a goddess! She smiled at them and with her typical Norwegian accent she greated them. Kendric looked at the big table above, no one was there yet.

Meanwhile Zuberi had chosen his breakfast. Kendric was hungry and chose some pancakes with butterscotch sirup.

'Those are my favorite.' Yrsa said while eating from her fruit platter. 'Than why didn't you order them?' Kendric asked her while trying to control his voice and sound as this easygoing guy who had his nervs under control. But blood was running through his veigns so quickly that he felt like he was going to pass out.

'Nahh, I like them for dinner but not for breakfast.' She said while she was pulling some grapes of. Than she took her waterbottle and drained it in one go.

'Impressive!!!' Marcellus said while his mouth was full with a whole croissant he just stuffed in his mouth. Kendric got a black tea and ordered sugarcubes aside. He trew in 6 sugarcubes and when he finally finished everyone starred at him in shock.

'What? I like sugar!' And he stirred with his spoon.

A hard, low noise came out of a horn. 'It's called a Didgeridoo or Yidaki , it's an instrument from the indigenous peoples from Australia,' Kenji said while he approached and joined them at the table, 'that's master Ryka and he is a pro, beautiful isn't it?' and Kenji pressed some buttons on the touchscreen.

'A very authentic sound,' Zuberi said while zipping from a waterbottle.

Kenji had a whole plate before him, it looked like a typical Japanese breakfast, with miso suri, known as miso soup and some rise, vegetables and fried egg with it and some kind of grilled fish. Kendric new this was a Japanese breakfast since it was uncle Jerry's favorite breakfast and he saw his aunt make it for his uncle many times. Just like uncle Jerry loved to travel the world, he also loved all the international kitchens.

Kendric decided to talk to Kenji who helped him out with his rope this morning, while Master Ryka continued to play the Didgeridoo with it's low authentic tones.

'So you're from Japan Kenji?'

'Yes, I was born in Kitsuki at Kyushu Island.'

'Isn't that known for the samurai residence?'

'Actually it is, how cool that you know that. It also has the shape of a sandwich, do you like topography that you know this of my birthplace?'

'I love sandwiches,' and Kendric grinned.

Kenji smiled, he already noticed Kendric liked food since he saw Kendric absorbing his pancakes like within seconds.

'Yes, I always wanted to see the world, travel around. I am a big fan of the samurai fighting skills, so that's how I know. Can you do some?' It was already bin asked but Kendric wished he could take it back.

Why do I ask him this idiotic question? Because he was Japanese and came out of Kitsuki? As if everyone from Kitsuki was a samurai?

Kenji stood up.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Well done Kendric, you scared him away.

Kenji didn't walk away, instead he took a picture out of his robe and showed it to Kendric.

'This is my grandfather, my father and my two older brothers. We are all samurai and raised by the old tradition.' Kenji showed his picture to Zuberi, Marcellus and Yrsa as well.

They were all very impressed and Marcellus flew from the table and made some ninja turtle moves. They were all laughing at him. It was like Mario but doing some ninja moves as clumsy as Luigi.

A Morgan Freeman like voice echoed through the messhall. Kendric immediatly recognised the voice from master Uruk.

'Goodmorning pupils of Anunnaki High. I hope your beds were comfortable and you rested well. Before you ask me what has bin raising through everybodies thoughts last night, we have erased, no erased is not the good word. We have paused the memory of your existence in your friends and family.'

All the students reacted totally in shock. What did this mean? He paused the memory of them? Kendric totally forgot to ask his new friends this morning about their families and if they were worried.

Master Uruk continued despite the noice: 'I know this comes to you as a great shock, so I shall explain it to you young truthseekers. Your missions are going to be dangerous, your time here will be long and your families will all search for you. What will you going to explain to them?'

The children looked at master Uruk silently. This all, it couldn't be explained. People would throw you in a mental institution and stuff you up with pills.

'Yes, you do understand the problem at hand here. For your families safety and for yours, we paused their memories. Meaning, that for this moment, they do not know you exist. Please do realise you have bin chosen. This burdon comes with a great responsibility and it starts without your family and friends and everything that is familiar to you. I know it is scary and only a fool wouldn't be scared. A great task is upon your young shoulders and if I could carry it alone, I would.'

Master Uruk looked a bit sad and for a second his confident way, disappeared and doubt was dripping all over his face. He continued:

'Today you will start classes, it is to prepare you for what is to come. You will be learning all the techniques the universe has to offer and you will recieve your power. As you know, young master Kendric will be your leader. But even though he has recieved the knowledge from the source, he will need to master it and train his powers and skills like you all need to. So be patience, patience is a virtue and you will come far with it. Now let's begin the ceremony!'

Master Uruk looked upon the ceiling.

All the children looked up and Kendric stared at the beautiful ceiling which was moving like a wave now. You could see all kind of stars and planets on it some near and some in the distance. Than from far away white orbs were flying towards them. Every millisecond they came closer and as they came closer they flew out of the ceiling and landed before the stage where master Uruk stood next to the teachers. The orbs floated before the stage and than they changed into...

No, this is impossible. Are they, are they, no, impossible!!!

Thoughts were raising through Kendric's mind and he looked to the other kids and they all looked shocked. Where orbs were flying around before, now eight people were standing in front of them but than in spirit form. Almost see through, but not exactly.

'Are they ghosts?' Marcellus asked with a trembling voice.

'Aliens?' Yrsa asked but it didn't seem to scare her at all. She actually looked impressed and totally into it.

Master Uruk stepped down the stairs and approached the entities or whatever they were. They were of all ages, man and female. Some looked European, African, some Native Americans or some kind of indigenous people. One even looked as if it was Buddha himself. Just like the statues you can buy everywhere.

Master Uruk had Marcellus flying little UFO thingy above his head again and continued:

'Meet our spirit guides. No they are not alien, but well, if you know your history you could as well say that they are but just not the ones that you know of your crazy movies.

Yes, they are spirits or guides of the highest level. They only come forward when great events are to come so I hope you understand how important today is.

These spirit guides will give you enlightment and the power that matches your special inner strength. Let them do their work...

They will show names above on the ceiling, if you see your name you come forward and you take place on one of these flying silver discs which are now floating in front of me. You will cross your legs on it with your hands rested on your legs like in the meditation position.'

The first names that appeared on the ceiling were eight in total. No one of their group were on it. Eight students walked to the flying carpets and one looked as if he could collapse any second. Three girls were smiling very uncomfortable and the other four looked very scared but this one girl walked in front of them and sat down cross legged on the disc. One thing was for sure, she was the bravest of them all.

She had very long blond hair and looked stunning. Russian if Kendric had to guess. It seemed she didn't want anyone to know that she was scared, not giving anyone any satisfaction. Or maybe, she wasn't even scared at all. Who knows? The others followed her and sat down cross legged as well.

Each guide now stood in front of a student and were shining purple light upon them. The kids all floated of the carpet. They all had their eyes closed and some even showed a little smile like they were enjoying it. Than they came down slowly and landed back on their discs again. The purple light vanished and they all opened up their eyes. The guides reached out with two fingers to their foreheads and a blue spot of light appeared. It glowed up and became very bright and than it faded out slowly. The students got up and went back to their golden floating tables.

The next eight names appeared. Kendric wasn't as scared anymore since he had now seen the first eight doing it. He was actually hoping his name came up since he wanted to know what this ceremony exactly was all about.

But in the next eight names that followed he wasn't there. Zuberi and Kenji were in it though and they walked up front. They underwent the ceremony and Zuberi had that big smile on his face again while he sat down. No one spoke one word, the silence filled the room but that wasn't the only thing that was filling up the golden messhall. Since those guides have entered the messhall Kendric felt a pure energy flowing through the room, the same pure energy that he felt when he went with Master Uruk to the Source.

The following eight names it was Yrsa and Marcellus turn. They underwent the ceremony and came back happy, or so it appeared. A few groups followed but Kendric's name was still not on the ceiling. He became impatient when the 10th group or something was going forward.

Than all of a sudden Master Uruk was starting to speak again.

' Thank you children and thank you spirit guides for the enlightment'.

This couldn't be it right? Helloooo, aren't you forgetting something? Or rather someone! How about me? You know? Kendric, the chosen one?

Master Uruk let the silver discs disappear. His long lizard staff appeared out of thin air and he hit the floor two times with it. The silver disc appeared again. This one was as small and uncomfortable as the one from when he entered the Source it's realm with Master Uruk.

'I think you know what time it is right?' And he looked at Kendric.

Kendric wanted to go back to one minute before this, where he was forgotten but he got up and walked to the flying silver disc. He sat down on it and tried to cross his legs which was hard on such a small disc. He put each foot on his knees and it felt very uncomfortable. Luckily this big robe was hanging over it, he felt so emberrassed while he struggled in finding his balance on this thing.

The 1st spirit guide stepped forward to Kendric and raised his hand. Out of the palm of his hand a red light came out which shined towards Kendric's feet or ankles or in that direction it seemed.

The 2nd spiritguide approached and took her place next to the first one. She raised her hand and shined to his tummy with a orange bright light.

The 3rd one did the same, it was the young kid and he beamed a yellow light out of the palm of his hand at the height a little above his belly button.

The 4th one was an older woman and she shined with a green light right through his heart.

The 5th one was an middle aged woman and she shined her light blue bright light on his troath.

The 6th one was an old man and he beamed his darker blue-purple light on to Kendric's forehead.

Than the 7th one approached and she beamed her violet light on the top of his head.

As they all shined their lights upon him, the 8th spiritguide approached. When Kendric tried to look at the 8th one, he saw a familiar face. There his grandmother stood right in front of him and she smiled upon him.

How can this be?

She binded the lights together with her hands and made a tornado of it which slowly surrounded them. A beautiful fast moving colorwind circulates around him.

I am so proud of you my boy, so very proud.

Kendric looked at his grandma who was standing in the tornado of colors with him and she smiled.

Telepathy? Can you here me? I missed you so much grandma!

She came forward and kissed him on his forhead, while she did he felt the same purity and love as when he did with the source. She than lowered the colorfilled tornado and took one step back.

You will posess every power that the universe has to offer you, master them well my child.

He heared a high pitched singing like a children's gospel choir, the spirit guides echoed this sound all through the messhall. It was beautiful, like a choir made out of angels singing in some strange language.
