My name is Aximili-Esgarrouth-lsthill.

It is not a human name. It is an Andalite name. Not that humans reading
this are likely to know what an Andalite is. I am the only one here on
Earth.

No, that is not completely true. There is one other. But he is not the
Andalite he once was. He is now the host body to the Yeerk who holds the

destroy Visser Three. It is not simply a matter of duty. I cared very
deeply for my brother.

And I am not the only one who wants to destroy him and the other Yeerks
who have invaded Earth. Before he died, Elfangor gave five human youths
the power to morph. As well as the truth about why they need this power.

Now these five humans are the only ones resisting the Yeerk invasion.
Fighting to stop the Yeerks from enslaving the entire human race.
Fighting to stop them from crawling into human brains and taking over
all thoughts, actions, and memories.

They are also the only ones who know about me.

They are my people now - the only people I have here, so far from home.
I am grateful for their friendship. I respect them, too, which might be
more important. But Tobias is the only one I might consider a true shorm.
