What she saw is rows of officers standing still and waiting for her to pass. She looked at Xara stunned and a bit of worried.''what happened? Is there any treat so everyone is on hold? If so I might have a way for everyone to get stronger. I dreamed a weird dream last night. I need to find his Lordship.'' She spoke, walked and looked at the strange sight. Did something happen?
Xara just smiled and walked in front of them.''I actually planned to send carriage here but someone came to tell us that you are on your way here.''
It seems officer Luar send someone in advance to let them know. ''If there is no war, big fight or any danger, why do they look like they are about to set off to fight.''she looked at fully uniformed soldiers.
''You didn't notice anything wrong about them?''Asked Xara while raising her brows. She then murmured silently,''did we do such a bad job?''
Kendra looked at her stunned. Bad job? At what? She looked closer teh soldiers and then realized the difference. It is indeed the same style and the same everything, the difference is ...everything is new. Till the last button.''Oh!!!''she exclaimed. '''New gear?''
''Yes. He ordered it already a few days ago. Soon the guards will get new gear as well. There is so much to do. Come...''she said while walking towards a group of people that waited for them.
''Welcome Kendra.Welcome Isaa.Huh who is this???''asked young Lord. He looked at it from all sides and wanted to touch it but it growled.
''Sorry. Fluffy is tired. What happened actually that you wanted me to come?''asked Kendra looking at the busy doing behind.
''These are all my helpers. As thanks for doing a good and the fast job, I wanted to make it big. But Xara was against it. So we choose to invite only people that were directly involved in cleaning the city.''he said all proudly.
''Fool. If we made a big celebration, more rats would run around our feet. We need to stabilize the situation around here. There is so much work.''said Xara while she scolded him with a smile.
''At least you let me have this small one. It's enough,''he said while he winked at her. She threatened him with her fist under his nose and he stuck out his tongue like a little boy and playfully tried to run away from her while sqeeling.
Everyone looked at their showing of love and at the same time childish behavior. Kendra and Isaa looked at each other and started laughing and Fluffy sighed. Is everyone here so childish?
Kendra saw a huge amount of food on tables and then looked at those soldiers.
''Xara, I think the soldiers should eat some as well. And those at door should get exchanged with those that ate already. I do not think we can eat alone this mountain of food.''
Xara turned around and nodded and soldiers relaxed and came to eat as well. It was quite fun and after while they went back to their places and the nobles and officers left one by one.
Kendra waited that all of them were gone and turned to Xara and the Lord. They already had a serious expression on their face as they saw that she was in taught all the time. She was restless to get rid of the people.
As soon she turned around they came to her and Isaa and looked at them closely.''What happened? Did someone try to bother you? How can we help?'' They were truly worried.
Isaa and Kendra looked at each other and smiled.''Eh. I never said it's something bad. Actually, its something big. Very important for you.''she looked around and saw just soldiers. Servant already cleared everything before and there were no other people.
They looked at her with interest. ''Food?'' the first word from Lords' mouth and all three stared at him perplexed. Even soldiers sighed.
''Noooo. No food...''Kendra said slowly while rolling her eyes.''Something bigger and better. Last night I had a truly strange dream. I dreamed you had well that had a rainbow in it. The voice told me in my dreams that it's a well, meant only for people with powers. And if a normal person drinks it would kill it. Do you know where is it?''
He looked at her and shook his head.''I never heard about any of that. If such a thing existed...It would be great.''
Suddenly Fluffy jumped from Isaa's hands and run towards one of the palace walls. He growled at it and then looked at them. Kendra looked at him and then looked at teh pair. She shrugged and went there while being followed.
She took Fluffy in hands and patted him.''This fluffy. Once we walked at the beach and he found black bead. Later on, someone told me its power pearl. Maybe he can feel the energy?''she explained while lying with a straight face. How can she explain what happened...
''Hmmm.Possible. I met some peopel with their pets that had similar powers as we do. So don't be anxious I won't harm him.''said the Lord while reading her face. She made such blatant lie and taught he would believe?
He turned to the wall and started pressing the stones. Xara helped him as well. Not long after that, the sound could be heard but there was no opening in the wall. They looked at each other questioningly.
Isaa shouted from their back. They had one statue in mid of yard and it moved slowly from its place. The Lord looked at it and stopped everyone from moving. ''I am not sure if something is inside or is it dangerous. Let me check it first.''
He slowly went there under worried eyes of everyone in this garden, but when he got close he got stunned and started laughing.
Xara and Kendra came near and Kendra looked at Fluffy unsure should she laugh. He looked at her in confidence so she just stood still there. She looked at him and understood this is it. He still laughed about the tiny puddle of water. ''Is this what you talked about the laughed and then turned to face serious faces. Suddenly he stopped.''This is it, really?''
He looked at it and didn't feel any energy source. Kendra looked at Fluffy and then a puddle. -Is this it?- her eyes were asking.-OF course.- he looked at her and hopped towards the water. He grunted and jumped around.
Kendra looked at him and looked closer. She pressed one little stone that seemed that was protruding from the ground. That moment the water disappeared and the plate suddenly moved. Under the plate was a deep hole and deep down there was water.
''This is what Fluffy meant.''Said Kendra while feeling the energy even from that distance.
Xara looked ta it with shiny eyes.''Do we jump inside or drink it or what?'' she was truly excited.
''The voice told me that you need to drink some water and wash with rest. I would not recommend bathing inside of it if you do not wish to get killed. Its pure base for powers. IF child with powers drinks it, it would stabilize its powers. If someone who already used powers drinks it, they could enhance their strength. But you should not sue it one more time till you do not feel that you are strong enough. Because every time you do that the water will act stronger and if you are too weak you might destroy your body and soul.'' She looked as she was thinking about. She just wanted to stop them from harming themselves.
They looked at Kendra with understanding.''So how we should do that?''He asked confusedly.
Xara held her head.''I really think your luck is just too good. You are this dumb and still survived the war. I really have no words...''she sighed.
''Just gather water and put it in some sort of basin. Let everyone drink some clean water and then enter in the basin to soak inside from top to bottom for a moment. Well, I am not sure but you can try...''Said Kendra and looked at soldiers.
The Lord then realize how big this information is.''What else did you hear? ''
''That voice told me that he was Elementalist that got helped by your ancestor. So he made a deal with your family line. If he dies he will send his should here and all they had to do is give him a wisp of own energy to start a new life. But everyone who knew about him died and no one came to help him.'' she said while looking at the serious face of the Lord.
''I am grateful to him. It is no problem I will give him,''he said while Fluffy was running around him.
''Don't worry about it. I gave him a tiny wisp of energy and he was grateful and left,''she said while shrugging.
The Lord looked a bit disappointed. ''It was my duty and I really didn't know.''
''He never blamed you. He said he could see that you are a good man and let me tell you the idea. The funny thing everything happened while I was sleeping, so I am not sure if that is just imagination or something else.''She shook her head.''But in truth even if it's true...He already left a big gift to teh city. Oh by teh way. He said you definitely can't anyone else know about this except those that are true to you and have powers.''
She looked at the rows of soldiers and smiled. He truly has a strong army. Hundreds of power soldiers.
''May I talk to your soldiers?''she looked at the Lord?
''Sure. Attention!!!''he yelled and all of them stood still while looking at her.
''Dear soldiers. I know you think war is over, you are bored and so on. War never ends. You need to make your powers stronger. You need to train just in case you are needed to his Lordship or the kingdom. After you drink and soak, sit still and try to absorb the energy.''
''Now few of soldiers should prepare few basins and you need to just seak totally under water. That water is not meant to take a bath. So please, wash yourself before going in...
They all nodded and everything went fast. One by one soldier took their armor off and went to dunk in prepared water. The Lord looked worried. He could clearly feel the disorganized powers, but after a while, the powers started growing and they had wave after wave coming out of them.
Kendra looked at them and remembered one of the games...Did they just lvl up? This could be ridiculous. But then she remembered that she lives now in another world...So everything is possible.
''It seems they powered doubled.''said teh Lord with excitement.
''Before you go in I would like to have water for bath and some drinking water as well. I want to go home and take a bath before getting the energy bath. And I want to give some to Fintan and Cian as well.''she said while looking at the Lord.
''No problem as soon new powers come out they need to give way to the others and so on...
She didn't want to take a bath under their curious eyes. And she hates being stared at.
The Lord accepted and put enough water in barrels for them to take a bath.
''I have to go home now,''said Kendra.
The Lord nodded and ordered Luar to drive them back home. He turned to Kendra and smiled at her.''Don't worry about Fintan and Cian. They will get their share...''
Kendra smiled at him and nodded.''I understand.''she looked at those soldiers that were done already.''Let them go and train with each other at that secret place. By the way, when do you plan to repair the walls and build the granary?''she asked.
They looked at each other.''We forgot about that.''she said.
''Use your powers to build stronger walls.'' she said while looking at a large number of power peoples.''What powers do they have?''she asked.
''Most of the fire, wind, earth. There are few with electricity, water and healing. But those are rare.'' said Xara.
''Then use those with the power of earth and water to make big slobs from it and let those from earth turn it into the stones. With that, you can build strong walls. Especially if they concentrate making it as hard as possible.''said while looking at stunned soldiers.''But you should not make it simple stones. Make it as hard as you can... It will be great training for your powers. Those with wind should try to dry it before its turned into stone. And electricity could be on stand by. I think you could be used soon as well. Secretary, you remember the idea with fishes. If they stun fishes in water with their energy won't it be easy to catch them?''
The old man got stunned and looked at her unbelievably. ''How comes I forgot about that possibility?''
Kendra shook her head and went away with the carriage. She was wondering as well what could happen after they used the energy from the well. She took Fluffy into her arms and cuddled him and Isaa. Soon everything will be done. The earth will be ready for planting straight after that she planned to go and relax at the sea side. They will go and have so much fun.
''Soon we will go on vacation. I can't wait. I think Fluffy can't wait as well...Right...Fluffy? That is the only reason why you came with us?''She whispered in their ears so no one else could hear it. He somehow succeeded to nod and then shook his head.
''What now yes or no. Oh well, we can chat at next full moon. Let's just have fun till then. Ok?'' she hugged them as they slowly went back home.
But as they passed nobles circle Kendra suddenly felt the strong feeling that someone started ta them. She shrugged. Knowing the Lord he probably has everywhere some people hidden in case of emergency. She felt quite safe.
