Kai

The truth shall set you free.

The saying that I have lived by since my first remembered moments in that accursed black void...

I didn't know the who, where, what, when, why, and how...all I know was that mysterious drone-like being I encountered that sent me through that light.

Was it me as I was an unborn infant? Was it my imagination? Or was it something else?

I don't know, and that question has plagued me for as long as I can remember.

I know I'm human...

Just different, so to say.

People here have known it all along.

The Fish of Peace, Damian, Charlie, her father Lucifer, Alastor...

Me.

Do I tell a lie by not mentioning these details?

That could be a lie by omission...

Even so...I had to do so, and would that inherently be moral due to me being aware of the potential deadly consequences?

I had to know they could be trusted.

What's worse, giving out information nobody would believe and some people suddenly using it for the worst purposes, or feeling out the waters and making sure the waters are safe?

I only needed less than a month, and I know now these people are trustworthy.

And with that trust, will be reciprocated...

With the truth.

They've shown all of themselves.

Time to show...

All of me.

I keep reviving my bike, making sure I get back to the Zoo Phoenix Academy as soon as possible.

Whilst I do so, I think it's time to make some preemptive preparations.

I press the button on my communicator, directing the signal to the Academy for anyone who is at the ready.

"Zoo Phoenix Academy. Come in. It's Kai." I call to nobody in particular.

"Monsieur Kai?! Is that you?"

"Good to hear from ya, Fabian." I smile.

"Sacre bleu! You have returned!" He exclaims. "Madame Cameron! He's back! Uh, Kai! She wants to talk to you!"

"Kai?! You there?!" Cameron calls through the communicator, after some shuffling she's likely having grabbed his tail and held up the communicator watch to her so she can speak through.

"As here as I ever will be, Cameron, you brave one." I compliment her. "Still enjoying tea with the Frenchman Fox?"

"All thanks to you...you Godsend..." She replies happily, I hear some grumbling from Fabian after me having called him that, Cameron gives him the context and calms down. "So, you finished your mission down in Hell?"

"Surprised you didn't ask how I survived." I comment.

"Dude, with your moves, and what I've seen you do, there's no way anybody down there stood a chance."

I chuckle.

"Relatively speaking. But Cameron, Fabian, I came back to coordinate something."

"What is it Monsieur Kai?" Fabian asks.
