The tribe of Aenoki

I was home in my village working in our back big room, still arranged in the old fashioned way as it had been in the '80s-'90s, before it was restored.  

I had a printer with my laptop that just stopped working. Despite the order from my laptop to print, it just didn't want to, and except that flashing red light on the front it didn't even give a sign as of why (nor was that flashing light making us more clever by allowing us to figure out...). 

I was upset, as working on a big project and as my printer gave up on me I couldn't print my final documents off. In the meantime I also had to prepare for the fest where my uncle (dad's brother) - living just opposite to us -, was taking me and my girl cousin. I was angry, upset, annoyed and also confused because I didn't know what to wear or bring with me at all. I got up from my desk and decided to go for a walk, with the hope that I will calm down. 

I ended up walking all the way up to the hills on the country side, at my grandmother's land. When scrolling across the fields I suddenly realised a strange looking primitive UFO. I got a bit scared and surprised at the same time (it was round and it seemed as if 3 big big rods are holding up from the bottom). It took the direction to the big hills on the left and then it split up and from a round shape another got created, it almost looked like a flying grey box held together by some wooden planks. 

I kept watching it and it was so cool, I grabbed for my phone in my pocket to take a picture of it and show it to my whole family, as I knew otherwise no one will believe me when I tell them. As the flying objects started to take their directions to the village I ran after them, hoping that it will stop at one point so that I can get a closer look and better picture too. Sadly I didn't manage to take a good photo and it also vanished along the mountains. The next thing I realised though whilst running is that I reached the edge of the forest so I thought why not have a little scroll around? 

Whilst walking down the tilted side on the forest someone in the distance started to scream to hide because a giant rat is heading my way and it might hurt me. I looked around as I wasn't sure where the voice is exactly coming from, but as I got scared even without seeing anything my survival instincts kicked in, I looked around and jumped behind the first available bush behind some tall trees, and kept peeking to see that giant rat once it appears, as I was extremely curious how big it can be. 

Then it did appear and came directly towards my location, in which moment I realised that I perhaps shouldn't be so brave and hide well... better... But it was too late as the rat got me. It was like at least 1 meter long, however with way shorter tail as one would expect. It looked sick, dirty, dangerous and as I feared, it did actually run towards my direction to bite me. Or at least that's what I thought. I jumped up and with arms and legs spread I started to climb up between two trees just next to me. The rat got even closer and started to jump up and down to catch me, however I was way too high. Whilst staring at him and trying to avoid that he catches me, he at one point got enough of chasing, and realising I was scared enough too, he took the direction up the hill and moved on. 

I came down the three and started to think that this rat only deliberately wanted to scare me only, so I decided that I will show him that he can't just do that. Bravery spread through my ways and also anger that a rat just made fun out of me. So with that swing I started to run after him. I have decided that I want to scare him more and also want to kick him up the sky... I got even more so brave with every step I took and once I reached him, I kicked him hard, in which moment I have realised he got more scared than I was earlier on and he even shrank in size. 

I was about to kick him once more which I have missed, and then he stopped and started to beg me to not to. I stared at him and calmed down, and with the split second I was like, whatever, I let him go on his way and I will head home as everyone is likely preparing and myself as well have to go to that fest in that other village with my uncle, wherever that might be. I turned around and started to walk home. 

The rat in that instance started to follow me and started to express his gratitude for leaving him alone louder and louder, and he just could not stop talking. I kept walking ahead though and he just followed. At one point not far from the spot of our incident I suddenly bumped into a man I seemed to know a lot (he looked like a stranger in my waking life). He greeted me warmheartedly and asked me where I am going? I replied to him, when he suddenly realised the rat behind me, to which I got scared that he might get hurt by him. To my surprise though the rat turned into a man and started to jump up and down from happiness when they saw each other with this other man. 

They were so happy to see each other. Then this man turned and became my other uncle to my amazement, and I kept watching their joy out of this plane, that they finally see each other. My uncle looked at the rat man and said he thought he is dead for a very long time and asked him where he was going. The rat man replied that he was also heading to that fest in that neighbouring village. 

I was so amazed of seeing and hearing all this that I couldn't stop and had to ask what's so special about that fest? 

They then told me their stories. The rat man explained that this fest is a very popular between those who live eternal life. He then further explained that it is very important to these people to see who is still alive and also who has changed, or got the potential to turn into an eternal. 

Then my uncle went on and explained that it runs in the blood of our family, and my other uncle wants to take my girl cousin to present her to the people there, so that they know that she is also one of them. I was surprised because I couldn't put this together in my head and then asked them if my whole family was part of the eternal bloodline, why does no one know of it? 

The rat man and my uncle explained that they know they just have the option to ignore it and live a limited human life, or the head of the family (aka fathers) needs to introduce all their children to the eternal people and start teaching them by the ways they want the offspring, in order to serve God and protect humanity. 

They then also explained that some people can get the rank of angels, and actually there are a lot of giants and angels among them. However as many have decided they don't want the hassle of taking part in their politics, they'd rather live as mortals do and many also die in this realm, just to get reborn again and live their lives with as whatever life throws at them. He also explained that you  can activate yourself to become eternal, but if you don't like their politics, leaving eventually is hard, however not impossible. 

I was shocked and looked at my uncle, asking him how he knows all this? Just to find out he was one of them, however he loved human's everyday life better. He then turned towards rat man who also seemed to know and understand everything, and he also was nodding all along whilst my uncle kept telling me the story behind the fest. 

Uncle then turned to rat man to ask him what happened to him, and how comes he is alive? After that big battle he thought rat man died there too. 

Rat man was grinning though and he told us that he escaped and went into hiding. One day though he got fed up and decided to come out and see the human world, and experience everyday life for himself. He wasn't sure if he wanted to return to the eternals, and certainly he didn't want to take part in another war. Life did happen and he got a wife and have children now. He is going to the fest to tell them this and also that he will give the option to his children to choose their path once they grow up. However, due to his terrible experiences, he doesn't want his children to suffer. He knows that the eternals need to be informed that he is alive and having offsprings who will grow up with the knowledge of their background. However his children can decide whether they wish to join the "army" or remain human only once they become adults. 

I got so excited and dumbfounded at the same time. I thanked them for their times and started to hurry home and hardly waited to tell my cousin the story of the fest, and about her and perhaps our whole family's background. Once I arrived my cousin and her brother were at our house, then my sister arrived with my niece and some guests. I wanted to tell them all so badly. When cousin saw me, she asked what happened to my wrist. I had the mark of the rat man, he was so kind and bit me with his rat teeth so that I can show and prove everyone that he was real and not a fiction, and he bit me where I told him to.. 

The day went by so fast and it was almost evening, and I couldn't make everyone to sit down and listen whilst we were in the room in the back of the house. At some point my mum came and asked my sister to what to give to the guests. At another point my niece ran in and it turned out she had such a bad nose bleed. Her blood kept flowing gently from her nose and her mouth at some point got filled with blood. Everyone got shocked and didn't understand why, until it turned out that she didn't want to swallow her own blood so she just kept collecting it in her mouth, and she was too shy to spit... So we told her she needs to make up her mind as at some point it will all ooze out... At another point my cousin's brother couldn't find his place in terms of where to sit down, nowhere was good enough for him. We suggested  to sit on the bed as that is the most comfortable, however he was very small and the bed too big. I got so annoyed and tired waiting for him to sit still, that picked him up, whilst grabbing him under his armpit and funnily I asked him how old he is that he can't make up his mind? He grinned back and said 11, turning 12 that year. I smiled back and said to him that he is big enough now to decide where to sit and finally to find his spot. 

Suddenly I remembered that his sister didn't say yet a word about going to the fest so I asked her what the plan is. She said there is no plan and more likely we won't go. Her dad (my uncle) didn't tell her anything, which in this case means he either doesn't want to go or decided already he won't at all. I started again my story as I was like, enough, this needs to be told. I have however barely opened my mouth, my mum rushed in and asked me to go and buy things which she can give to the guests. I headed out and it was as if it was evening and dark outside. I couldn't imagine what can be open at this time of the day. Then I spotted a fancy old fashioned, almost like gypsy caravan where people were rushing to go in and come out in big numbers through it's main door. 

I got really excited because I realised that it was the fishmonger who comes by rarely in our area. I took my way towards them and walking up the stairs I entered the magical world of the van as well. It was shockingly beautiful inside. You could choose from  many of their fresh foods, the whole layout was like a well maintained department store's food hall in the 1920's. I went and picked some of their fishes and oysters which are rare to come by, and on the left I realised they have freshly baked breads, panini and savoury too. I stepped to the shelves and asked the seller lady how much they sell it for. She didn't tell me the price, but asked me what I want. Then I replied to give me some small breads, but the best quality. She pointed at one which was already put in bag, and was sprinkled with poppy seeds and looked so good. She asked if I want one to be taken out of the bag or want more. There were three in the bag so I asked her to give me all. She packed it nicely up and showed me to the till, to which I have realised I don't have my card with me. I asked her if they can put aside all the groceries until I run home to fetch my card? The lady looked at me and arrogantly asked me why do I not have anything to pay with if I go shopping anyway, and indicated that the queue is huge so she can't put it on the side. I started searching my pockets to show her that I  am not lying and when I emptied the content of them I have pushed everything in her hand without checking what it was. She dropped them and to our surprise I have had actually cash wrapped in a tissue which fell all over the floor. 

I had only "£" with me, but she said that's fine, as they accept all currencies. From joy I said to her to give me few more minutes to see what else they have and then I will pay after for everything altogether. She nodded and told me to hurry up because they are closing soon and guided me deep inside their the shop floor to look at their other products. I was so amazed that they had so many things that I decided to still run back home and ask my mum what else we would need, whilst leaving quietly my things at the counter. I wasn't planning to take more than 10 minutes anyway. 

I headed quickly toward the exit, however when I stepped out the door I realised I am somewhere else, on another street, perhaps in another city that I didn't even know. I ran down on one alley to see maybe there is another way out and to get back home, but there wasn't. I landed in a strange village and when walked back to the van to enter again, that was gone as well... I had no idea how to return home or what to do to inform my family that I am at another place as I even left my phone home... How clever of me... At one point I really got desperate to cry and wanted to find my way back, but whilst walking more around and listening to the people speaking, it turned out I was in that village where the festival will take place and it was buzzing from tourists. 

In a small kiosk I found an info point where I wanted to ask the assistant lady where I was. She told the village's name, but I have never heard of it nor did I realise or actually understand anyway what she kept saying despite asking her two times to repeat. 

Two other men were behind me, obviously tourists waiting for their turn, when another guy appeared out of nowhere and jumping ahead of us he asked for the way to the pyramids. As the two men were looking for that spot too they were happy to hear the answer. Me on the other hand looked at the guy and thought how disrespectful he is and why does he want info on on the pyramids, and what they even are? 

The lady at the info desk showed us as way up the road and said that in that store we will find all the information with support we are looking for. With a bit of an amazement we looked at each other and as we didn't know any other better way anyway, all four of us took our way to that direction. As we kept walking up on the small hill that one guy vanished as fast as he appeared earlier on. Me and the other two men though reached that store, which looked like a small house from the outside, however the "doors" were of thick material, just like when entering an Indian tent. When we all entered a man in a Viking attire appeared and welcomed us all. 

The walls were full of maps and information guides and the host started to tell us the story of what we see and where we are at. I briefly got to understand that we are in a village which generally is a very famous touristic spot, but once every now and then they organise a a special festival where guests from all around the world come to. I saw a map with 3 hills drawn on it, which all had pyramid shapes, and he then told us that one of them is the most sought after and almost everyone walks up there because it is a sacred place. The whole trail looked like walking trail for tourists to find their purpose. As he continued talking he suddenly changed his appearance to look like a bearded tourist info guy and carried on talking as if nothing has happened, to which we all got surprised. 

I wanted to stop him to ask him again for the name of the place and the other two guys had questions too, but the info guide didn't listen and just carried on talking. I decided to tap him on his shoulder when suddenly my hand ran through his "body". We actually had a perfect hologram in front of us, which was so perfectly projected and so naturally behaving and moving around, that we didn't even realise until that moment. 

I became very inpatient and thought to myself if I step right into the place where he was standing, maybe that will stop the hologram and send us someone we can talk to. This hologram though was so advanced. When I stepped into the figure's shape, my body suddenly got scanned and something changed as I started to scream from pain. I could feel changes in every inch of the upper back of my body, then my shoulders and my arms too. Something started to move in me and my bones on my back started to rearrange, as if something wanted to grow out of me. The pain was so excruciating that only with my constant screaming I could ease it a bit. I fell on my knees whilst carrying on screaming louder and longer, whilst the two guys kept looking at me more confused, and suddenly more people started to flood in from the street to see what has happened there. 

Memories started to fill my head and now I remembered why the hologram kept repeating and calling for people to join the army of angels. Also just before falling on my knees fully, someone talked to me and said: "I am Aenoki". More and more information started to be loaded in my brain, with the pain and the data I have received, it all started to become more and more unbearable. I felt that I needed to get out of that place. Whilst trying to "escape" I got to realise that I was asked to join God's army, there is a battle between them and Satan. They only want to protect the people, and most importantly the children. 

I ran across the road, but my pain didn't want to go away. Holding my left shoulder I suddenly saw some flying entities whizzing down the sky, rushing towards everyone to get their bodies. I was so confused, but then at the same time I saw everything people around me didn't. On one plane life was passing as normal whilst on another there was a war for our plane, all happening parallel. The children were the ones with the sight, they could see everything, however they didn't quite comprehend what it was. Some who got into adulthood and were not possessed yet, they have lost their sight unless they joined the fleet. Most of the children saw so many of them, they just hid when they saw one from the distance, without getting scared anymore or asking questions. 

I kept running through the village and saw a small philagory, which was round and the sides were covered with glass windows and glass door, with one exit in front and one at the back leading to a flower park. I was scared and two other children trying to hide as well ran with me in there. A little boy and little girl. I was trying to tell them, through my pain and confusion, to hide well, although there was barely any space to hide to, and I ran to lock both doors (as if the transparent glass "walls" would protect us). 

Once all doors were locked I got a bit eased, I knew everything was see through because of the glass, but I felt, at least I can buy some time. I looked at the children worried for them and was puzzled because they were smiling at me. Then the little boy said to not to worry because soon the other protectors will appear and pointed to a direction in the distance to look there. A man appeared, who seemed to be an old head teacher, almost like a goat in a man's body, he looked so weird. He was then accompanied and followed by more colleagues. They started to shoot some energy beams and fight against the small yellow flying demons, who started to appear in higher and higher numbers from the sky. They didn't look scary, rather just disgusting, and once they have possessed someone that person could never return to the human plane. 

The old professor screamed to everyone to protect the children who were hiding in huge number all across the park. All hiding around and under the round bushes that were located in the middle of the park, perfectly aligned across the field. 

As things started to get out of control they have asked for a high ranking angel to be sent in. I thought they were just kidding and making jokes, until the children started to cheer and pointed in the direction along the road on my right. A huge energy wave swept through and on top of a huge pillar standing at the end of that avenue like road a silver angel landed. It was beautiful, graceful and scary at the same time. He looked like a perfect robot in a silver scaled custom, yet also like a well built human. His wings were from steel and his speed and power immense. The demons multiplied fast and many started to attack him as well, however he dealt with incoming threat with high efficiency, as if he was taking a walk in the park on a sunny day. 

My mind went on fire and the pain hit me again. A voice screamed through my head telling me to "Bow and obey your God" if I want to join his team and then more war and destruction flashed in front of my eyes. I got so upset that I started to scream. 

I understand that children and human need protection, but to "bow and obey" was too much for me to comprehend and accept. I ripped the doors up and ran out into the storm that was brewing mids the battle, and whilst collapsing half way from the pain I looked  towards the silver angel fighting multiple of yellow demons and I screamed out loud: "No, never, I do not want to obey a God who doesn't accept that some have different views, and he must be feared all the time! My God is LOVE!"
