[the throne room of heaven]
Elder 1: An exceeding growth in Malek is witnessed. Exceptional work done by the Angels.
Elder 3: Indeed, his knowledge is that of that of the spirits at a young age.
Elder 1: but the enemy, like a roaring lion, wishes to devour him because of his star. We have seen many people like Malek being devoured because of the star Malek carries. Many go astray or end up in the lakes of fire.
Elder 3: but many have escaped the plots of the wicked one, through the help of the spirit of the great one. The great one had chosen him for a purpose. He will keep his oath.
Elder 1: the human will is one of the most powerful among the list of powers the King has given to the human kind. That's knowledge Malek doesn't have. If we don't teach him, darkness will.
Elder 3: what is the order regarding this tabled matter?
Elder 1: we suggest to the King that he meets with Bishop Akore, the wisest in the town, and he will be under his care. Power will be the first lesson of this season.
Elder 3: very well,
Angel: The Lord has approved this wise order. 5 Angels will be leaving the courts to make sure the order comes into effect.
[meanwhile on Earth]
Sarah: Happy Birthday Baby boy... whose a big boy now
Brown: Open your gift boy..
[Malek opens the gift]
Malek: A suit? Wow okay, I thought it was a superhero costume. But thanks anyway Dad.
Brown: you are welcome son. Can't wait to see that suit hanging on your shoulders boy... happy 10th birthday son
Sarah: happy 10th birthday Baby!
10 year old Malek ran to his room disappointed and put his suit up in the closet where he didn't want to ever see it. He wanted a costume and look like a super hero, but his dad had something different in mind.
Sarah: Really a suit? For his age? Isn't he too young?
Brown: No Sarah, there's something great about this boy. He's more than comic book drawings. If the universe has a purpose for its awareness, I want to see the great destiny of this child.
Sarah: really, is that where we are going now?
Brown: this child leads prayer for his class. His teacher allows him to teach others maths. He's only 10 but look at the art he draws his fellow art students learn from him. When I was 10, I couldn't influence flies to even leave the house.
Sarah: so what's your plan for him?
Brown: mine everything good in him and bring it to the surface.
Sarah: he's all yours sir!
September 2015 [school bell rings]
Ms Ruth: Good morning class! I'm Mrs Ruth, I'm your new teacher for History. i believe your previous teacher took you through the History of the Kendo Tribes, so today I'm here to announce to you that the school will be hosting price giving next month and the principal chose our class to perform the play. the play will be about the Kendo Tribes war.
Chloe:, yay! I know who gets to be the chief of the tribe. [smiles]
ken: yep with eyes closed boy,,, we know who will be our chief,, chief of the clan of kendo civilization, protector of the jungle tribe.. all hail [jokingly]
Ms. Ruth: Alright, Alright... who is the chief?
[all fingers point to Malek]
Malek: wait what, no way !! With all due respect, Ms Ruth, I don't think i can
Chloe: we all volunteer never to be chief, its all on you Malek
Ms Ruth: Malek?
Malek: Okay, I will give it a try?
whole class: Yes!! [with Celebration]
Chloe: can I be the queen to the chief at least?
whole class: No.. the Kendo tribe didn't have a queen!
Chloe: I was just asking, well, not for me but for a friend [sits down in disappointment]
whole class: yeah, seat down Chloe. We want to hear the breaking news from Ms Ruth.
Ms Ruth: don't be harsh class... now the other roles will be out tommorow you can go home and think about what role might suit everyone as for now we only have 10 minutes to break so we sit silently until the bell rings understood?
The whole class: Yes Mam!
Malek was chosen that day to be the chief in the play of price giving. Little did anyone know that the vote came from angels that they could not see. The kids thought Malek was the perfect choice, but the influence came from beings they could not see.
[back at home]
Brown: Malek was chosen to be the chief in their next play. Can you imagine honey.
Sarah: that my boy, when is the play going to be?
Brown: October the 27th.
Sarah: My baby boy!! I cant wait.. Yes. I can design his outfit. I bet he will need animal skin, claws and everything.
Brown: No love.. they have made the modern king's attire, he will be looking professional instead.
October 1, 2015 [at the rehearsals]
Chloe: Malek is running late, Ms Ruth, what should we do? The chief is not here.
Ms Ruth: Let's give him five more minutes.
Ken: be patient, Chloe. This always happens in movies. The main character always arrives late and blows everyone away.
Just as Ken said, Malek walks into the room and the whole room goes silent and amazed for a second. Malek made sure the suit he got for his birthday needed to be felt in the entire room.. He took his role seriously and none of his friends even dressed up according to their roles, which made him stand out and everyone wished they could have dressed up. This says a lot about Malek.
Malek: sorry im late.
Ms Ruth: right on time Malek, let's begin!
During the rehearsals, Malek played his role perfectly, which left Ms Ruth in shock. She didn't see an act. She saw a real leader, she saw a chief, she saw a president. The other 10 year old could not match his skills and some quite as they felt incopitent.
Ken: what! Who taught you to act like that? I mean who does that? You memorized the whole script?
Malek: stayed up all night
Ken: what? If you are good at rehearsals, what about the real play? Take it easy boy!
Malek: thanks Ken, my Dads. Here I need to go see you tomorrow man.
Ken: alright chief.. watch out for the elephants on your way back
[Malek gets into the car]
Brown: howsit Champ ! How did the rehearsals go?
Malek: rehearsals went great Dad. I actually loved it. I thought I wouldn't
Brown: really tell me all about it?
Malek: Dad, it was more than just leading to me, it felt real to me. I could command and they did everything I said, Dad.
i felt a sense of responsibility towards them. I couldn't help but feel the sense of serving them and it felt like an honour.
Brown: I'm glad son, I told you that a suit would come in handy one day.
Malek: Yes Dad, thanks.
Brown: welcome
Malek: do you still think the universe is conscious?
Brown: I would say purpose is the reason for consciousness
Malek: what does that mean?
Brown: you will figure it out soon.
27 October 2015...[Price giving event]
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the annual prize giving awards. A pleasant evening to all.. Tonight's prize is giving honors, an event we all look up to on the calender. How about the liberation of the Kendo Tribe? How can that day be honored without revisiting what happened on that specific day? Ladies and gentlemen please help me welcome the grade 7 class who will take us back into time with a play about our history..
Malek and his team walked up onto stage, and Malek opened the show with his first line " As long as I live, no one under my wings will suffer death by the sword of the Mayona tribe. today will be the day the Kendo will arise and mark the register of history, our footprint will never be erased from the face of the earth. "
As Malek attered those words emotions changed in their entire room, most of the people in the auditorium are part of the Kendo ethnic tribe. tears began to roll, hands began to sweat. who is represinting our culture in this manner, what manner of child is this? Malek left the entire auditorium emotional and amazed about the whole event. Malek got into character and couldn't feel the act. He felt real emotions that would never leave his memory for ever. He felt a sense of purpose during the event, as if that was what he was called for. Sarah couldn't believe the Kendo people in the auditorium dropped real tears, as she began to let monkeys drop from the sky aswell.
After the whole event was over, the parents desperately came to see Malek and congratulate him for the great job he had done on stage. He could not believe he had moved the congregation into an emotional state.,
While he stood with his parents, a tall man with grey hair approached Malek and his parents.
Brown: Bishop Akoye, nice to see you
Bishop Akoye: nice to see you too, Brown, is this your son?
Brown: Yes, this is my boy Malek, Malek, this is Bishop Akoye. He's the one that sealed the marriage of me and your mother.
Malek: nice to meet you Sir.
Bishop Akoye: you are a good actor, Malek. It felt natural you might be a born leader, you know.
Malek: thank you, all i can say is I enjoyed it. I cant believe people cried.
Bishop Akoye: it is because what you did on stage had power, Malek, power is an energy that can not be seen but can be felt.
Malek: really? Does everyone have power?
Bishop Akoye: you are a curious young man just like your father right here..[giggles] Well, I will have to find my little boy around here, that energetic boy... it was good meeting you It Malek.. but you can around to the community centre on Fridays i teach the youth everything that they need to know, including how that good suit you are putting on was made. haha alright see you around fellas
Brown: Okay, it's getting late and cold. We need to be on our way
On their way back home, Malek couldn't help but think about what happened today. Mr Akoye said it was power. Does it mean we have super powers, he asked himself. But whatever the answer was, he loved the power he displayed today. As they were approaching home:
Sarah: have you thought about what you want to be in the future, Malek?
Malek: I want to be a leader mom
