The Atlantean Compensator 54 One of so Many 1

Everybody is amazed by reading and hearing Alkeyder explanation to the events of thousands years ago.

He asks. "...So, was it a boring class?"

Herald immediatly replies.

"Hell no It wasn't!

I found it so interesting that I don't want us to stop here."

Alkeyder. "Oh! Glad it interested you this much.

We'll continue for sure we still have a lot of time in front of us.

What about the rest of you?"

Sebastin. "..Was pretty confusing to be honest!

But like Herald I want to know more about this."

Ayla. "Can't we ask questions about this part?"

Alkeyder. "Sure you can!"

Ayla. "..So I assume this explains the origins of our superpowers?"

Alkeyder. "Yes, to some degree."

Herald. "It feels like it's a summarized version of the events though."

Alkeyder. "It is! This is only a prelude for you.

We can't study the whole thing from the get go."

Herald. "Last question...Is the city of Zion actually...Atlantis?"

Alkeyder smiles.

"We'll see the next time we continue.

Now

*Alkeyder snaps his fingers*

Welcome to your Psychology/Philosophy class!"

Sebastin. "...We got to get used to this, don't we?"

...

Days have passed,

And the Atlanteans got more and more used to this new phase of their lives.

They're now more comfortable with themselves than any other point of time in their lives.

Studying themselves and their history has helped them gain a sense of knowing-self, and an additional purpose to their lives they didn't know before.

Heracles picked up the intensity of his training day by day, from telling them to move him an inch to engaging in physical combat with them.

With the aid of Alkeyder and Aciya,

he helped each one to develop pattern moves using their powers.

Not only that!

The Atlanteans were introduced to a new concept!

"The 7 Doors of Heaven"

Heracles explains.

"To rely on your specific abilities only, is a great risk.

As there is no power that fits every situation possible. Luckily, We the Atlanteans have a hidden ability that can be awakenned.

The 7 Doors of Heaven!

I am sure everyone in here is familiar with the "Chakra" concept right?

It is safe to say that it was influenced, or rather stolen by the hindus and given that name, while adding on to it ofcourse.

Only Atlanteans however, can fully achieve the maximum potential of the 7 Doors/Chakras.

As for you, some of you had already shown signs of awakenning it without them noticing.

Herald! Your powers fit perfectly well with the 2nd door.

Your third eye, being able to sense whats arround you, looking at one's intentions..

All of these, you have gained in a short time because you've unlocked that door.

It is called. "Elbassar"

For you Ayla, your healing abilities, emotional control and pure heart is a sign that you've unlocked not only one door but several. Mainly the 4th, called "Elafida"."

Heracles will continue giving each one the door he unlocked.

Sebastin with his great hearing and sound abilities, plus his creativity.

Unlocked the 6th door "Elsama".

Joshou being trained before has already unlocked both the 3rd and 7th door,

called "Elojoud" and "Elnakae".

Beazly has not yet unlocked a door, but he's on the verge of unlocking two in the near future.

The 4th and 5th. "Elafida" and "Eltakyeer".

"Eltakyeer" being the one Heracles has mastered most of all doors/chakras.

Oumad being the nature lover he is, able to look into both the past and future,

has unlocked the 2nd door just like Herald "Elbassar". He also have tendencies towards the 6th and 7th door. Which means he had a big potential already.

Elara was the last Atlantean that Heracles talked about.

"...As for you Elara, being the only disciple in all my lifetime...

You've unlocked the first door! "Elhouria".

Which is the origin of all other chakras!

You, more than others have the ability to awaken all 7doors."

Everybody was impressed but not surprised, they already knew Elara is ahead of them.

But they all wanted to know why exactly...

Probably because she was one with her powers since her birth.

Anyways, all 7doors access the Atlanteans to special abilities.

But at this point, none of them know what are they or how to practise them.

In order to do that Love had to awaken their spirits, by purificating their souls through her powers.

And so the training continued, led by Heracles and Alkeyder.

They slowly but surely advanced and ameliorated their powers.

Beside training, life outside the association is still always on the mind of everyone.

It was allowed for the 7 to contact their loved ones when needed to.

During the first couple weeks, Herald always used to text Muruem at night or have an occasional call telling her about his imaginary new studies.

Sometimes he would even tell her things he studied for real!!

Like the time he told her about the story of enoch and the sons of Adam.

She would also tell him how lonely it is without him, and that she misses him greatly...

The Atlanteans themselves became close to each other, everynight they would go on walks, talk about their lives, even use their powers to make jokes or prank one another.

Sebastin with his sound powers, is a walking soundtrack.

He'd always make them listen to their favorite music.

Joshou, although being a calm composed man! Can be pretty funny sometimes, which surprised the rest and made it even funnier when he uses his invisibility to make some pranks.

The outstanding thing was Elara's change in behavior, she is no more the most silent person they ever met. She opened her heart to them in some night talks.

It seems she finds great comfort in Herald!

After Ayla, he's the one she most talks and interracts with.

And Herald is the only one able to make eye contact with her while keep being fully himself...

Although he admitted that it takes great effort for him to do so, after being asked by the other male Atlanteans.

Ayla is Ayla, she cares about everyone equally and everybody cares for her.

Their training became harder and tougher, many times they have injured themselves, broken bones and big cuts.

The Masters aren't taking them lightly no more.

Ayla and Elara, were taught healing abilities by Love and sometimes Alkeyder.

Beazly and Joshou were always the ones most injured from their battles with Heracles, because they trained more with him.

Herald and Oumad passed more time with Alkeyder, he had more understanding of their powers and what they needed to do in order to get better and stronger.

Sebastin would pass equal amount of times with all three Masters, he thought it would benifit him the most. And he wasn't wrong!

Herald will also pay a visit to Galahad and Sahaqiel from time to time,

they'd sit and talk about how he's doing.

Even giving him some tips to deal with his training.

Once,

he asked them.

"By the way..I Am curious to know.

How long have you been in here as Majestic Guardians?"

Sahaqiel. "Hmm.. About time you've asked.

Tell me where did you all get in history's class?"

Herald. "Right now? Today we studied Post-Babylonian period!"

Sahaqiel. "I see, so you're now familiar with the elixir of immortality?"

Herald. "Yes, we've read about it..But so far we don't know whether it existed or not."

Galahad. "Then count this as a spoiler.

It does!

You may have already knew it did.

The Masters can't be as young as they look like. Neither we!

This isn't a new Association for sure.

Am I Right?"

Herald. "..Yes, all of these things i have thought about! And still don't know its answer.

Which bothers me a bit."

Sahaqiel. "In my case.

I never got a taste of it. The elixir of immortality i am talking about.

You may find this a bit surprising Herald.

I am an angel.

Sent by God as a protector for this Association.

I got no age, as I have stopped counting long time ago."

Herald is shocked!

"An....An Angel??!!

An angel on the shape of a...human?!"

Sahaqiel. "Calm down Heracles, you should be familiar with anything at this point."

Herald argues.

"...Yes but! An angel!!

I have been talking to an angel all these days..

And even being friends now??

That's so surreal..."

Sahaqiel smiles. "..Always my pleasure.

It is true we're the purest forms of creation.

But I don't know why you should be putting urself under me.

We've been asked to kneel for Adam.

Humans are God's favorite.

We in fact are servants of you, but only those that are worthy!"

Herald realized the truth and humblness in Sahaqiel's words.

"..Still, I think you're minimizing your position as well.

To me I'll always look at you highly.

What about you...Galahad?"

Galahad. "..I did, not just a taste i drank enough of it.

Although it tastes bad Hahahah..

Say Herald...You've studied english literature, right?"

Herald is surprised of this question, but he answers.

"..Yes I did, why?"

Galahad. "How did you not think of my name then?

Does it not resembles someone you've read about somewhere..."

Herald stops for a moment and thinks.

"...Galahad...Sir Galahad!

Oh yes!

One of the knights of King Arthur's round table!!"

Galahad. "Bingo!! You're right.."

Herald. "...You mean...

You're the..."

Before Galahad answers, Herald takes a look towards Galahad

and says in his mind.

'...The black armor...

The tall strong body...

The majestic sword!! It has an "X" on its hilt... Can it be...

Excalibur!!!!

It's him...It makes sense that it's him..

Being worthy of the sword..and his abilities, I thought at first he never even existed.

But now everything changed to me.

Anything exists!!!"

Galahad. "..So I think you now know who I am.

Sir Galahad!"

Herald. "Yes...No doubt about it!

What an honor it is to know such historic figure..

One we study about. Damn!

What a world am living in.."

Galahad. "..Isn't it great? You think its surreal and scary to know us but why don't you embrace it already? The real world is here in front of you.

We're in the same page. The same line!"

Herald. "...You're right, in fact i do think it's great..Really great!!

So..

Drinking the elixir granted you an eternal life.."

Galahad. "Putting eternal on quotes!

But yes, It did make me live for as long as humanity is going to stay."

Herald. "...Meaning the rest also did.

I see...

Makes a lot of sense."

Sahaqiel. "Don't tell others about these informations until you study it.

Anyways brother,

Time for you to come back, It's getting late!"

Herald comes back with all this information that helped have a cleaner image of the world he's now living in.

"The world is bigger than anyone thinks it is.." Herald tells himself

...

The first month of the training, has ended!
