Searching for signs of life in Culloom was
futile, deep down Neter knew that. He studied the walls from where he stood,
pondering the possible scenario that the so-called dogons scaled the walls. His
gaze landed upon the orange trees, dotted along the wall behind the running
track. Had they climbed the trees and scaled the walls that way?
Curious,
he headed across the track and climbed an Orange tree to take a look over the
wall. From the upper boughs he could see the countryside beyond, Gorias looked
just like Lemuria behind the walls; lush and green. There was an establishment
in the distance, he could see a light flashing, muddy fields and what looked
like a herd of livestock… If he cocked his ear, he could make out faint noises…
None that he recognized. There was a dark aura hanging over it, he could
feel it. Determined to learn the truth about Gora, he climbed down the tree and
hurried back the way he came, through the Temple of Tragedy into the train
station below, clasping the Sword of Lightning, tight.
"Barduk
had trusted Vina with all of of Sapparu's Knowledge" Mina continued, "but
Vina was jealous of Barduk's power, she wanted to be Queen, being one of the
three original Anunnaki Creator gods, she felt she had equal right to the
throne. Barduk's worldly power and self proclaimed glory was just that, self
proclaimed.
Vina
knew of ways that the Knowledge they kept could be exploited. Instead of simply
teaching the Anunnaki children the formulas for exploiting Fear, Heartache and
Greed, she taught them that Barduk was a tyrant, an impostor, that he planned
to use the same Solarian mind control techniques on them as he used on Aquilla
to kill Medel. She taught them that he was hoarding their gold in order to
enslave them, that he was using it for his own selfish needs, that in fact,
Medel was trying to save them from
Barduk.
She
taught them that by overthrowing the evil king and reclaiming their city, they
would be able to finally generate the kind of wealth that would bring back
the great Elon, as Medel had intended."
"She
taught them that by overthrowing their king the planet would move closer to
another planet?" Zara didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt ill
again, how could it be? How could the powers that created such a powerful and
mighty civilization as the Atlan Empire be so incredibly insane? Did they lie
like this simply to cover up the insanity?
"Vina
was very clever" Mina continued. "To the Archons, she was doing the
right things. Instead of teaching the Light of the Phoenix, she taught the
light of the Archon, the reflection of all things. Instead of teaching
astronomy to aid in Creation, she taught them how to use it to plan for
Heartache. Instead of teaching them art that inspired creativity, she taught
them to make images that instilled Fear. Instead of teaching them medicine,
they taught them how to make poison, and instead of teaching them about Love,
she taught them how to fake it in order to control their minds and generate
more greed. She turned them into the worst Great Teachers, Great Teachers that
would teach the Star People to generate even more Fear, Greed and
Heartache than ever before.
Meanwhile,
the slaves were being taught that all these bad things were happening to them
because of the king. Through these so-called Great Teachers, the lies spread
throughout the city like wild fire, soon everyone was mad, angry and full of
hate.
Barduk
was a slave driver. Barduk was an impostor. Barduk was working the slaves so
hard they were dying in sickness. Barduk was stealing their gold for his
own selfish needs. Ultimately, there was only one solution for the citizens of
Barda. Barduk had to be executed for tyranny.
In
an organized protest, the slaves stormed the palace, took the king to the
courtyard where Vina awaited sword in hand. Celebrated with rounds of applause,
she sliced off his head. Then, she cut up his body into twelve pieces and
ordered the Anunnaki children to eat him in public display, to teach them all a
lesson. She mounted his head on a pillar in front of the palace as a warning to
any soul that dared try such tyranny again.
With
full support from the slaves and Anunnaki children, Vina was applauded as she
placed the crown on her head, and the city of Barda changed it's name once
again. This time it was called Vinilla."
