Chapter 59 - 59.Vacation and learning, why not?

Everything was there. The sun shone over their bodies and Kendra breathed in the salty ocean air. She actually planned to come tomorrow morning here, but she gave up that idea. She feared that something new will come and they will stay again one more day, and then one more, and then one more...

''Isaa, the air here is so amazing. Let's not use energy water today. Let's try gathering and absorbing pure natural energy of the sun, air, and the sea. What do you think?'' she said with closed eyes why petted Fluffy.

He was totally relaxed. Finally, after thousands of years, he could experience again warmth of the Sun, the breeze from wind and the smell of the fresh air and the sea. Actually, he could experience that all so far as well, but now in such place that these two humans called their island, he felt calmness and happiness as well.

He cuddled in Kendra's arms and enjoyed the patting and stroking.

Isaa stood next Kendra and saw her relaxed face and smile. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling as well. She heard the chirping of birds, sounds of sea waves hitting the beach and stones, the wind could be heard as well trough leaves and a slight chuckle. Chuckle?

She opened eyes and saw Kendra's mischievous face in front of her. Kendra smiled finally smiled at her with an honest and truthful childish smile and started jumping around like a feather on the wind.

''Free, finally free. We have enough food for years, enough to drink and we will let the grown-ups earn money for us.'' She runs in front Isaa and picked her up and swirled around her. '' Ha hahaha aha haha ... let's have so much fun. Next year we will travel and grow our powers, at the same time. Who knows ... we might find the stuff I need for space. If not, oh well at least we saw so many things. Right?''

She let Isaa down and hopped towards the cave. She took all the stuff out to be on the sun. Even the old blanket. She looked at the blanket and taught about the old man that helped her so much when she needed the help most. If they listen to her words his family will be safe for years.

She took out off the space the hammocks and bound them between the trees. Then she looked at all the food and saw that the hot food stayed hot, cold stayed cold and the plants didn't die. Tomorrow she will try with simple living creatures. Like oysters and fishes. They will anyway hunt them for food. Right? But deep inside she felt like she couldn't give them a slow death. Even tho she eats fish and meat she feels that all creatures deserve dignified death.

Isaa and Fluffy jumped around the beach and tried to outrun the waves. It was actually easy to do that, but where is the fun in that. As the waves hit at them Isaa laughed loudly as the Fluffy was covered from tip to toe with salty water.

Kendra didn't forget the salt. She set up a few fires and put a few more pots on it with salt water and then joined Isaa and Fluffy in playing with waves. She remembered how she played in sand as a child, so she builds different kind of things with sand. Fluffy looked at her doing with surprised eyes and Isaa actually joined her and arranged everything. They made the castle, the rivers and even the small house by the stream.

''Isaa, when tonight the wave comes it will be all gone, but don't be sad. It is a natural thing. Everything is like that. One day if I don't go with you to the next world I will perish as well. I hope you will let it go as I let go of this beautiful sand castle we made. The time will change many things. Before the city was build here probably lived many other creatures. Since human started living they dirtied the water and now not even fish lives there. In thousands of years, the city might not even exist, maybe a forest, maybe a desert. Everything is having his birth, life, and demise. Only God's don't. If you don't want to die, become God.'' said Kendra while looking with clouded eyes at the horizon.

Isaa didn't want to think about such things now. She still wanted Kendra to change her mind. She looked at Fluffy and winked at him. They are still small children like he said. Maybe one day Kendra will decide to go as well. But for now, they should just have lots of fun. She looked at her with twinkling eyes and jumped into the sea. Then she started planching the water at Kendra and Fluffy.

Kendra was at first surprised but then joined in the fun.

They played till late evening. The fire went out and Kendra saw a bunch of salt crystals in the pots. She took the pots into her space and moved it to the island now. She put the salt to dry on air on flat baskets and then took the greenhouse out her space. She was curious did the plants survive the time in her space.

She slowly opened the door and saw that they didn't only not die, they looked amazingly green and lush. The tomatoes were already ripe and red. Isaa and Fluffy came in as well and happily saw the lush vegetables. Kendra suddenly remembered the energy water. Did that help the plants?

She took off one of the ripe tomatoes and smelled it. The rich smell of fresh tomato hit her and when she bit in it she got shocked and yelped. Isaa looked at her in worry but when she saw Kendra taking again new bite and another one with relish, she chooses to take one of the tomatoes as well.

She smelled it and then bit inside. At first, it was amazingly tasty but then she got hit with the bolt of recognition. She looked at Kendra with shiny eyes and started jumping around.

Fluffy looked at the tow jumping and laughing children questioningly. Isaa gave him a bit of tomato and he ate it, but then he got hit as well. His eyes almost bulged out. This is impossible. He lived for thousands of tears and never heard of such a thing.

Kendra looked at confused Fluffy took him in her hands and cuddled him as he looked so cute when he is confused and dizzy. ''I dreamed about such thing before so I tried it.'' she lied without even twitch.

''In my dream, I saw people watering the plants with special water and plants getting bigger and better. But the truth to be told I just hoped that plants will recover and become big, I didn't expect that they will start having their own energy. This is amazing. It seems we can become stronger even when eating these plants. Hmmm. When I go back I should tell the city Lord about this finding. But now let's make dinner and then let's gather energies. Isaa you choose what side of the island you want to be. I will choose the furthest away. When you are filled as usual go and sleep. Fluffy you as well. Tomorrow we will try to exhaust our energies. I think after exhausting the energy, the energy sea becomes bigger and then you become stronger and you can go to another level of power. Tomorrow we can read about our powers and the history of this place. Now let's eat. I am hungry.'' She looked at those salads, leeks, cuc.u.mbers, tomatoes and bell peppers and knew that tonight it will be a vegetarian feast.

They ate dinner and watched as the Sun has slowly set and the colors of evening spilled all over the sky and water. Soon afterward there were countless stars blinking on the firmament. This time the moon was no more full so Fluffy had to wait next one to communicate with them. But there was no urgency so it was fine.

''Fluffy go to that side I will sit on the stone area as I am at this time stronger than both of you and Isaa go over there. The water is calm. If we want to take energy from water stay in touch with water. As that is our energy source do that. Don't go in as your body might get pulled into the depts while you are concentrating on your energy sea. Fluffy you as well. I know you think you are strong as you are ancient, but consider it that you are now weak. Be careful.''

Fluffy and Isaa nodded and went to their appointed positions. Isaa put her feets close to the water and started concentrating, so did Fluffy from another side of the island. Kendra looked at the waves that hit the stones over and over again and choose to tie herself to one of the big stones as she was worried to be swept by the strength of the powerful waves and currents.

There wouldn't be a problem if she was wide conscious but she knew that she lost control over her body as soon she started concentrating on energy, gathering it and absorbing into her powers sea. She loses all connection to the outside world so if something happens n that moment she wouldn't even know. She didn't know that humans actually have no such power to concentrate on only one thing so it was usually quite hard for them to obtain powers and for those that have powers, they concentrate too much on everyone else than on their own powers.

She stood there and let the waves hit her body again and again. Since the last time she knew that creatures with power can't get sick and can only become stronger if they get trained by their own power so she chose to do it this way. If this works out she will let Isaa as well come here and she will watch her as her body get stronger.

The power of waves, the strong currents, and nature itself made her concentrate on her own power and soon she felt first wisps of pure natural power. She gathered it with her consciousness and absorbed it into her body. Luckily she already had experience doing it before so it was not hard for her to apply the same procedure. She did it again and again..

Isaa and Fluffy were doing fine as well. They gathered for a while and soon they choose to give up and go to sleep. They didn't worry about Kendra as she stood on a safe spot. Pure natural energy is something amazing. She let the waves hit her again and again. While waves hit her and she gathered energies her body changed slightly.

Her skin became slightly more resistant to the hits of the waves and currents. As stronger, she became the faster she could absorb the energy wisps around her. She slowly opened eyes and could see the elements surging towards her like she is some kind of magnet.

She opened the energy sea and just swiped them unconsciously into her energy sea in one go. Suddenly she felt her body started shaking. She took in too many of the energy wisps and her body started failing.

Luckily she was standing near the sea this time and her body got new strengths doe the nature technique. Her energy sea actually suddenly started having a storm but it started calming down slowly and Kendra suddenly felt piercing pain all over her body.

She couldn't feel her bones relocating, her skin hardening and splitting and even her veins and muscles suddenly bulged. She didn't actually feel much of it as she tried to concentrate to calm down her energy sea.

The changes in her suddenly came and suddenly disappeared. The changes on her body could be seen, soon everything calmed down and she stood there as nothing happened.

She slowly opened her eyes and released the breath. She actually freaked out for a minute. She could feel that she was in deathly peril. But she could feel at the same time that her body and mind became more stable and stronger as well.

From one side she was happy but from another side she got worried. It seems that the body and mind have to grow at the same time if the person wants to pass the next level. She was worried that Isaa at this time is a way too weak to do so. Maybe she should train her body more often from now on.

In her old world, she heard of martial artists that could do crazy things, when their body and mind were in balance and strong. From now on, she will let Isaa become stronger and let her use the powers more so both her body and mind could grow at the same time. It seems the balance is important.

And it seems it is truly possible to get harmed if you grow your powers way to fast. She is not sure that she survived because her bigger energy sea or because her body is kind of stronger, whatever it is, she hopes to make that child stronger before she even tries.

Kendra reminded herself of the first book of powers and how to grow them. It's really not only silly but seriously stupid to do something you have no idea what is it. But somehow she felt they are not far from the truth. If she could read the books fast wouldn't then be easier to find their mistakes.

But then she got the taught. How come they found the library that easy. She is didn't trust so much any easy stuff. Usually, there is suspicion on it. But what is it?

She will find out after she reads the books she took with her.

In the last world, she was quite smart and was quite fast in solving all kind of problems and enigmas. Somehow that became her hobby as well. If there is something wrong with that book...she will definitely know. Somehow deep in her, that certainty was deeply etched.

She went to her hammock and under the sounds of the evening wind, she fell asleep. From tomorrow on she plans to live more. And play more... And... huuuuu.

Her deep breathes could be heard. Isaa and Fluffy actually had hammock right next to hers. they saw her relaxed expression and smile even in her sleep. They sighed in relief and went back to sleep.

The next morning Kendra woke up hearing the laughter from Isaa. She woke up earlier than her as it seems. She stood up and freshened up and went to make fires but she saw that Isaa already did that. Water is already boiling and Kendra saw Isaa and Fluffy jumping around again. They saw her and competed who will be faster at Kendra's side.

'''Brother, brother... let's get the oysters and fishes and I want lobster for lunch. They taste amazing. '' she said while looking with shiny eyes at Kendra.

''Ok fine. Let's hunt a lobster...'' she looked at the two pairs of hungry eyes and had to laugh.'' no, three lobsters. Three, you two hungry wolves.''

They started jumping happily and jumped swiftly into the sea. Kendra of course followed. he saw that they really had no problem whatsoever to swim in the sea. She called them.

''You two catch the lobsters and I will start gathering the oysters. I will put a few into the space to see can they survive. Get me a few small and big fishes so we can try on different species. They nodded and swam away.

Kendra looked at her space and took put some salt water into a big jar using her powers and few drops of energy water. And then she took a few oysters and threw them in. She prepared two more jars with the same water and waited that Isaa and Fluffy come back so she can try it out.

She made that mix as she had a hunch that space is tightly connected to the energy water. If the plants survived, maybe the animals might survive as well with help with that water. Right?

They will know in a few days. She quickly started collecting the oysters from teh ground and pulling them up in the bag. She didn't want to use her powers as she plans to hone her body as well. Since last night she became certain that powers are tightly connected to the body. Of course, she has no plan to become a bodybuilder. But strengthening the body to survive harsh conditions, there is nothing wrong with that.

She turned around and saw the two swimming towards her. It seems they like competing,hmmm that is not a wrong idea. Let them, like that both of them might rise in power and body faster.

She needs to check the books today. If everything is fine with it, she will start using it as soon as possible.

All three of them need long training. From now on she plans to slowly expand her energy of the sea, not like last time. They will start soon. But in the city...
