"Aquilla’s been hiding inside Mount
Ekar ever since?" Zara was shocked.
"Yes"
Nepheus assured. "She only comes out when no one is looking."
Aquilla
was actually a good monster? That was
why she didn't get annihilated in the tunnel? Images of the terrifying journey
through Aquilla's lair returned with vengeance. It was true, Aquilla hadn't incinerated her as she was led to
expect. That was a fact.
"Really?"
"Really."
Nor
had she seen Aquilla wearing any skins! She couldn't believe the lies! For all
her life Aquilla had been so hated, so despised, so isolated, so blamed! It
would explain why the other refugees hadn't been annihilated either! All that
fear of Aquilla was for nothing? The
Coming War was for NOTHING???
It
all was beginning to present a ghastly
grand deception. Zara felt the rage shifting inside, fanned in a new direction.
"Poor Aquilla!"
Nepheus
smiled kindly. The refugees were all the same, once the fear of Aquilla gave
way to understanding and compassion, the Phoenix always rose, Zara was on her
way now. The truth about Aquilla was a profound moment of awakening for all of
them, for they had all travelled through her cave, they had all faced their
death, they had all wondered why they didn't die.
He
also knew when it was time to pass the goblet along and the sacred waters to
Mina, feeling it was her turn to tell the next part of the story.
After
a moment of reflection into the sacred waters, Mina continued with the tale.
"After
Medel was annihilated, Barduk took the throne and renamed the city to Barda.
But the lingering fears of Aquilla's wrath became a great hardship for the new
king. All the slaves were afraid, the New Nefilim were too afraid to mine the
gold, even the Anunnaki children were afraid of the crazed metal-melting beast
cowering in the mountain. Everyone was too afraid to go into the gold mines and
hence, gold production sunk to an all time low.
The
only solution for an Archon was to exploit that which hindered the progress.
All was not lost. Fear generated a dark energy, the type of energy that was
useful in bringing Elon back, and like the gold, they would need a lot of it.
And so, instead of focusing on breeding
Archonic slaves, Barduk sought to harness these Archonic by-product powers by
developing a system to manage both Spirits efficiently. In order to cultivate
the energies in economical ways, he assigned his Anunnaki children godly
powers. The first godly power he gave them was untold wealth. Then he
confiscated all the Solarian Knowledge, granting only the Anunnaki children
access to it, granting them the godly power of Knowledge.
With
cunning design, Barduk walled off the city so they could no longer tend to
their farms and invented gold beads, assuring them the wall was to protect them
from Aquilla. No longer capable of growing their own food, now he would feed
them. He established a secure farming community on Fina and controlled the
food distribution this way. If the slaves refused to work in the mines for a
wage, they wouldn't be able to buy their food, and their families would starve.
It was a brilliant scheme, the slaves had no choice but to work in the mines,
in spite of their fears, which generated more fear. Now he was harvesting
both the gold and generating the powers of Fear."
Zara
thought about the farming community in Lochia, the fears lurking behind the
walls. Along with the truth about Aquilla, the story was getting really
creepy.
"The
walls were put up to stop the people from farming?"
"Yes"
Mina assured. "And to add to Barduk’s success, a new source of dark energy
arose as a by-product of the new payment system. Greed. Some of the slaves,
those whose Phoenix Spirits had succumbed to the Archons, soon caught onto the
scam and exploited it in their own ways. They exploited fear and greed in ways
that made them wealthier than others, they were able to purchase lavish things,
fine foods and exotic wines, in turn attracting the finest breeding partners
and producing the finest slaves, thus the society became divided. This division
in turn, increased the Fear and Greed. Some became ill from the psychosis of
jealousy and began to steal, others would deceive. Slowly, over time, ill
wealth caused all kinds of harm to their loved ones and fellow tribe, which in
turn, caused Heartache.
Heartache
was yet another by-product, another dark energy that would help to
bring Elon back. Almost overnight, Barda rose from the ashes of a Golden City
to a Dark Energy Generator. The power of the Archons only grew in exponential
ways. And so, accordingly, the value of the Phoenix slaves changed too. Once
undesirable, now they were a resource, for there was no Greed, Fear and
Heartache, without their pain and suffering. The slaves, desiring the wealth
and Knowledge of the Anunnaki children, willingly gave themselves to any endeavor
which promised of these things in return, trusting naive beings had
historically been easy to saddle with misfortune and grief. It was a simple
formula and it worked well. Soon the gold was piling up in the coffers beneath
the Temple of Elon once again."
"Temple of Elon?" Zara gasped, once
again reminded of the blasphemous lies being told.
"Yes"
Mina insisted. "The Firmary still uses the temple for it's banking today."
"Zara
gasped again. "The Firmary?"
"Yes.
Barduk invented it."
It
was a shocking revelation, yet it too rang ominously true to the truth she knew to be true. Heartache of the
lashing post flashed back, Heartache of the breeding program... Heartache over
the sacrifices... It was all sounding horribly familiar, she had felt nothing
but heartache for so much of her life, heartache that she believed Medel had
been punishing her for being so bad! It was so wrong!
"They
harvest our dark energy?"
"We
used to call it the Firmary of Fear" Mina elaborated. "But like
Medel, Barduk had a fatal flaw. He was lazy. He gave Vina the sole
responsibility of overseeing the education the twelve Anunnaki children of
Barda."
