The Legend of Azhakkstadd

CHAPTER L : OUR IDENTITIES

-Kurezma-

            It’s been a day since we moved here in Psychic Nation. Hazol was so excited when the Ordo king decided to send us here that he kept on saying how happy he was and that he kept on smiling and telling us that he’ll show us around. I understand him, he’s just so happy and proud to bring us here since this is his homeland, I would feel the same too if the Ordo king decides to send us up there in the clouds.

            We just rested and got used to this place when we arrived here. Hazol kept his word about showing us to his favorite places. He, himself, haven’t been to every places here in Psychic Nation, yet he brought us to places he had been. He kept on showing us around and telling us everything about their place.

            He literally became our tour guide that day. We were so happy but still, we didn’t come here to tour around… we came here to train. Too bad, Fairy Kingdom isn’t in condition to hold our training.

            We were gathering in a room right now, all fifteen of us plus the Ordo king himself, that makes us sixteen. Today is the day he told us that we are starting our training. He wanted us to start as soon as possible so that we will get even stronger in no time.

            I am currently walking towards that particular room together with Astral, Eeya, Zati, and Dafrosa. Since the day I met them, I’ve been always with them. We’re only the female out of fifteen here, so we’ll surely end up being best friends.

Plus, I find them all interesting, I never had a friend from another tribe before.

            “I forgot where that room is ahahaha” Astral stopped as she faced us and laughed crazily gosh, she really is crazy… I didn’t listen to the directions given by the Ordo king because I thought she knew already

            “Screw you, I thought you knew, I should have listened back then” I responded and chuckled a bit when I stopped

            “It’s in the main lobby, left hallway, then fourth door” Zati coldly said that made us all look at her…

            “Thanks ahahaha” Astral thanked her as she laughed again, why does she always laugh. I mean, there’s nothing funny at all ahahahaha she’s so weird

            “Welcome” Zati responded to her and smiled faintly and turned around as she continued walking

            “We’re actually heading the wrong way” Dafrosa said shyly as she also smiled and followed Zati

            “Gosh, why didn’t you guys spoke right away?” Eeya complained and followed the two of them

            “Why don’t you guys speak?” Astral said and followed them and so I did.

            Our room is far from the boys’ room, so I haven’t meet them yet. Not even my brother. I haven’t seen him since last night, so I didn’t have the chance to ask him about our problem right now ahahahaha

            “So main lobby, left hallway… fourth door” Astral repeated while walking…

            We were so silent when we walked. No one dared to speak at all ahahaha why would we, we’re already running late. Zati led us the way since it seems like she knows the way. We shouldn’t have relied on Astral.

            “How come you know the way?” I asked Zati while we were walking at a normal speed as if we’re not running late ahahaha look at us, we’re already late yet we didn’t bother to run at all. Astral can’t use her teleportation since she doesn’t know the way. Not even me.

            “I can smell and hear them from here” she answered without looking at me. She just walked straight as if she’s very sure where he’s going

            “That’s nice… what are they doing?” Eeya asked as she walked faster catching up with Zati

            “They’re so noisy… the Ordo king must be absent right now” she replied

            “Noisy?” Astral repeated with a curious tone. I looked at her and she looked at me too.

            “Yea noisy, the usual when boys are left in a room alone without someone to look after them” Zati answered her as she stopped and looked at us and smiled… oh she smiled ahahaha that’s somehow rare

            “They’re so noisy as if they’re so close to each other… they’re laughing and shouting” she added as she chuckled “Literally, if we could only see them right now… it’s like they’re having a party ahahahaha” she continued

            “Duhh, they never behave” I said agreeing with her “Especially when Kuzma’s around… he’s so frisky and when he gets frisky, he’s so restless… and it’s contagious ahahahaha”

            “Are they like… playing?” Eeya asked

            “Heck yea… they are playing and dancing… and singing ahahahaha like an i***t” Zati said… “Anyway, it’s in that door, we just can’t hear them because it’s sound proof” she added pointing to a door. I looked at the other doors to see if it really is. One… two… three… four… It’s the fourth door so maybe yea.

            “Wait let’s check them first before we enter ahahahaha” I said and signaled them to come over. I raised my hands and produced a few water. I slowly manipulated it in between my hands and commanded it to show us what’s going on inside that room. The water gradually showed images. It is showing us those guys inside the room and… what the heck!?

            “The Ordo king is inside!?” Astral exclaimed as we all got shocked with what we saw “Seriously!?” she added ahahahaha what level of courage do they have? Ahahahaha they’re literally partying in front of the Ordo king ahahahaha

            “Gosh ahahaha let’s get inside” I said as we all laughed and walked inside. The Ordo king didn’t look as if he was joining, he didn’t look like he’s annoyed at all ahahahaha.

            They all stopped when we entered the room. Their faces looked as if we just broke their jam, like we crashed their party ahahahaha. They all went back to their seat as they noticed us entering the room.

            “Why did you stop?” I asked preventing myself to laugh oh my gosh, it’s so difficult. Look at their faces ahahahaha

            “Sit down” the Ordo King said that we quickly obeyed. I took the sit nearest to me and so did the four other girls.

            “Our first lesson for today is knowing yourselves” he initiated as he stood in front of us. After we sat down, the atmosphere suddenly become serious, like, as if they were not partying here a while ago. We were all silent as our eyes locked into him wherever direction he goes.

            Wait… what!? Does he think we don’t know ourselves? Do I not know myself yet? I’m sure I do…

            “Yes, you may think that you already do Kurezma” the Ordo king said as he walked pass through me yet he never threw a gaze towards me or anywhere my direction. He just looked straight…wait, how did he even know I was thinking that way?

            “I read your thoughts” he answered me again though I didn’t voice out. So that’s it… right, they are Psychics… of course they can use mind reading on me. I noticed everyone looking at me though I don’t understand their expressions. Am I the only one thinking that way? Ahahahaha that’s awkward

            I really don’t understand about that knowing ourselves, I mean I haven’t doubted myself before… I didn’t even have any identity crisis. My only problem was to know if I have powers or what, but it’s answered already.

            “To unlock your full potential, you have to fully know yourselves first. You have to know your own strengths and weaknesses, your advantages and disadvantages, your purpose and importance, and your capabilities” he added giving emphasis to every words he spoke while walking towards in front of all of us

            “Of course you know yourself” he added as he faced us “The question is, how well do you know yourself” he continued with much conviction and affirmation upon his voice “The fight we are facing right now isn’t just about being powerful and strong to defeat the enemies physically…” he continued

            “We won’t know if we really won when we eradicated all of them…” he said and paused for a while

            “Anyway, that’s not our concern for now” he said changing the subject as he went to his seat and sat down “My point for this class is making you a better version of yourselves, to gain more consciousness about yourselves and use that as a powerful weapon to bring change within our world”

            “You cannot bring such great things to you and those people around you if you do not understand your existence. Your true power only comes out if you let it out, and that is by recognizing it on your own. Knowing you isn’t just knowing what you like or dislike, what you can do with yourself and what you cannot”

            “It is more than that”

            “It is facing your greatest fears, overcoming your self-doubts, vulnerabilities, and insecurities. It is about deeply understanding your purpose, and wisdom within. It is being aware of your passion, priorities, strengths, and core-values”

            “Knowing your true self helps you love yourself more, that will eventually lead you to love those who are around you. It allows you to be independent and decide for the best. Self-awareness is a trait--or maybe "practice" is the more accurate way to put it--that everyone can always improve at”

“It is part emotional intelligence, part perceptiveness, part critical thinking. It means knowing your weaknesses, of course, but it also means knowing your strengths and what motivates you. The more adept you become at motivating yourself, the more adept you'll be at sensing the factors that motivate others” he explained while sitting firmly on his chair as he looked at us one by one each time he talks.

I felt his words in my mind as if it’s getting into me. So that’s what he meant after all. He’s right, anyway. It’ll help us as we face such a huge conflict in our world at this age.

“From this day on, I want you to constantly talk to yourselves in order for you to realize how important you are as a person. Not talk as in talk like an i***t, seriously speaking, know yourselves, know everything about you” he added without moving anything from his body.

“That’s all for now. The Sioga king asked me to meet him today, so I am dismissing you early. But that doesn’t mean your class ends that fast. Remember my assignment to you” he said and he stood up then walked towards the door and left.
