On the planets surface, Becci had taken time out, on their journey to the Akademy, to record what heralded their arrival. “The transporters landed at last! Then the coms units lit up and the commander’s voice could be heard “The NEW Kets will disembark FIRST! all other Kets will remain UNTIL the new Kets are off the transporters.”
It’s strange isn’t it? Like starting a new school to you Humana children. Some of them, were a little apprehensive and for some, who had NEVER been anywhere, except their home world or HOME, this must have been terrifying! Myself and Margi reassured some of them, giving some of them a hug. Yes there were some, who were a little tearful you could tell the water in their eyes, as they tried not to cry.
‘Kets come in all shapes and sizes and some of the little ones you couldn’t but feel for them. We ended up at a huge ring of stones. Ma ma had told us about them “They may have changed some of the layout and things such as your domiciles, but that will never change. Its been there since the Akademy first started. The floor was a marble blue streaked floor and the whole area was massive.
There were ‘Guardians'. Would have looked like lamp posts to us, that hovered mid air. A stream of light from beneath them and huge optical lenses as we would know them, scanning the area around us and US! Elder Kets, who watched us approach, directing us all into the centre of the stones. Some time for us to filter through. We waited, as the familiar face of La Toyah and Layla along with others appeared and then I felt elated to see Corky in the flesh with Commander Serenia.“
Leaving Serenia, Corky had moved over to Margi, who was stood next to me. “You’ll have to join the tutors. You can stay with me if you like.“ I hugged her, then watched her, as she slipped away, with Corky to join the other tutors.
Layla, was introduced to us. “Before we move, to the domiciles within the Knurlings, so you lot can settle in and get some rest and relaxation! I want to welcome you all, to the Akademy! You will feel a bit lost to start with. Some of you, will be used to being away from home! Look after those who are not! We all expect you to HELP each other, during the first few weeks! Any bullying or similar, I will warn you NOW, will have you facing punishment or making a quick EXIT from here!
All of you will know by now, you are all EQUAL. It does not matter, if you are Princes, Princesses, Ladies, Consorts or whatever! Inequality, discrimination? Forget it! YOUR teams do matter and as of now, you are all allocated to teams! On your right arm or similar. You will NOW see a band of color appear. That is your TEAM color. You will learn more as the week’s progress.
All NEW Kets have a week to settle in to your domiciles. YOU MAY during that week change whoever resides in your domicile housing up to FOUR of you. It does not matter MALE or FEMALES sharing. BUT remember, rules and conditions still apply.
La Toyah smiled a Layla continued. “What we want you to do now, is to form up in groups of 4, remember this IS TEMPORARY for tonight, you can as said, CHANGE anyone of the four, later. I recommend you stick with FRIENDS, companions and family. As much as you can, for the first few days.“
It was pandemonium. a lot of noise. Movement and more. As they scuttled together. La Toyah was smiling as Corky and Margise watched, along with everyone else. It was at least thirty earth minutes, before the Kets were resolved, to the groups, they had.
Becci = “We were I think, glad to leave the stones. It was NOT, the first time we would be there. At night its eerie, but has a magical, mystical quality, about it. We were led away to the domiciles and on the way, were witness to some amazing sights. The Kets that were already at, the Akademy, had put on a welcoming display, of what the Humana would have called ‘Fireworks‘ lighting up the sky. AWESOME.
When the displays came to an end, we were led through the Collonades with the battle scenes and so much more. Tall columns lined the route and inside the areas of the columns divided into sections were seating and in front of the seating areas huge screens. Some were displaying scenes from great battles played out in all their magnificence. Globecast news on events, including the latest scenes from the encounter we had had.. One of the tutors, shut the displays down. "I don't think, you lot, want to relive that experience, any time soon.."
