Chapter 60 - 60. Food

Isaa and Fluffy showed their hands filled with all kind of sea creatures. Octopus, shrimps, lobsters, variety of fishes in Isaa's small arms. Kendra looked closely and saw that they made something like power net that held all those creatures alive.

She laughed and with a wave of hand put them in prepared separate containers for keeping them. She closely looked at the situation inside the jars and saw that all the creatures actually were quite lively. She sighed in relief and looked at Isaa and Fluffy.''It seems we can keep creatures alive with the help of power water. I need to become stronger. I definitely can't go to the Lord's palace and take more from the well. It wouldn't make any sense.''

They had to agree. Kendra actually took so much of the well water...

''Don't worry. For now, we will use one drop of power water and mix with normal water, to water the plants. We can last with this amount the next 10 years if we save it. But I think I will try to enter the well as soon we go back. Maybe the origin of power water will give us some special help. Let's have fun today. Go catch three huge lobsters. I think I will be hungry as well. In time you two are having fun catching the lobsters I will read the first book of powers. Afterward, I will explain how much I can.'' They nodded and left.

Kendra went out. Sat inside her hammock and started reading the book. The book seemed big and with lots of words but actually, most of the book were paintings and explanations next to it. How wondrous.

She was always a quick reader and half book were anyway paintings so she finished the book quite fast. It seems the only mistake they made is to do it fast. She taught about people that used the way of meditation to make the body and mind as one, trough certain exercises they make their body so strong that some of them could be great warriors if they wanted.

She saw pictures and explanations on how to find inner power through meditation. How to create the sea of power, how to use the sea of power, how to expand the sea of power, how to find and connect to the wisps of power produced by Mother Nature and how to find what element the person can use.

All trough simple breathing, concentration, and disconnection from the body. Kendra rose her eyebrows, actually all those things they did even without any explanation. To concentrate on the soul and not the body is for normal humans hard, as they have too many thoughts. They think about living, breathing, surroundings...

To concentrate only on power within the very essence of being is hard for any normal human, but Kendra was not a normal human. She already lived and died before so she didn't worry too much about such things and Isaa lived again after the resurrection and now have to wish to live forever. Both of them actually can concentrate on their own essence because they have died and given another life.

For a normal human who thinks that this is one and only life it's hard to let it go. It's logical as well.

But who is Kendra? She wants to use this life to really live a normal, happy life that she didn't have before. In past life she was atheist, believing only what she saw. But now after this resurrection and current life she starts asking herself is there a possibility of God's. How many of them are there and what are they doing actually?

The wars, the sicknesses, the unjust death of millions... Is there something actually or is Universe making a joke with humans as its bored? Humans have free will, after all, right? So if they do something wrong they ask for forgiveness but why doing it if you know it is wrong. Sigh...

Kendra shook her head as she went to deep into the wrong direction. In this world, she needs to become stronger so she can have a calm and nice life and travel this world to see all the weird and new and exciting stuff that exist in here.

Why worrying about something she can't change. The only thing she can do is to do her best and become stronger in her body and mind. She saw a few exercises and tried it out. It seems that since the night before, her body became stronger and tougher.

She used the moves and concentrated on her sea of power and produced wisp of power that she sent towards the water in front of her. There was no change at first but suddenly water stirred and it became a wall of water. It stood there straight and she saw something hilarious inside.

Isaa was floating inside the water with puffed face an angry expression and Fluffy was floating upside down and they seemed to be stuck in that position.

Kendra had to admit she taught about that when she sent power wisp into water. The water wall that would stop everything including attacks.

But Isaa's expression made her chuckle and then she started laughing. She almost rolled on the soft sand as she stared at their expressions. She let the water with a wave of the hand slowly down. As soon Isaa touched the land she started chirping from far away.

''Is it funny, so funny? It scared me so much. Meanie. Brother, you know how to do that but didn't teach me. How mean!'' she puffed her cheeks again and stood in front Kendra with crossed arms.

Kendra first taught she was angry because she made them stunned inside water wall but now she realized that Isaa was angry because of new power move.

''But Isaa...'' she scratched her head confused,'' you saw this move before, how comes you didn't know how to use it and by the way why don't you just ask me?''

Isaa opened her mouth to say something and realized she never asked her. It seems Kendra taught she already knew the moves. She rolled her eyes. ''I did see it, but I knew only the move with water ball and water drops.'' And looked at Kendra meaningful.''Because you explained it to me, how should I know how to use other moves if you don't explain?''

Kendra hit her head. How foolish. She forgot this child indeed needs to have everything explained. So she started explaining everything from the book she read and stuff she realized herself.

Isaa sat down and Fluffy next to her. While Kendra was explaining he gained new knowledge. The elders just told him that he had powers and he should just use it to make himself stronger. If he knew that he could get stronger another way...

Kendra taught about stuff in the book and taught it is good explained but not detailed. She will need to change a few things to make it better. Or she should just read other books and then see. Maybe other things she had in her mind are explained in other books.

''By the way, there is a way to find out what elements you have and we will try it out at the new moon. Maybe you have some ideas as well.'' She explained to him that she needs to read the rest of the books and then they can make ultimate books for beginners. Fluffy nodded. Indeed he had some knowledge as well and he might be able to help her. But at the same time he sighed, all he did was fight all the time to become stronger.

But the way Kendra explained, the fight is there only to see how far the strength went and for competition, for self-defense or attack. But not for cultivation of elemental powers. Will he be able to contribute enough?

Kendra clapped her hands and smiled brightly. ''I don't see any lobsters, I guess you two failed to catch them.'' She slightly joked with them.

Isaa shook her head and scrunched her little face.''No brother, we actually had them with us....but you had to play with your powers at that moment and they run away. But we know where they hid so we will go and get them. I really want to eat a tasty lobster.''

They jumped inside the water again and Kendra taught about it. ''Hmmm. There are enough ingredients. Maybe butter garlic sauce? Or should we just eat it cooked as it is? Luckily we have enough pots now.''

She went to salt pots and got the salt out and washed the pots. Then took the salt water and put in it. Makes no sense to use pure water and then salt it if you can just use salt water. People sometimes make no sense. After all, the water here is absolutely not polluted.

In the same time, Isaa and Fluffy got the lobsters and went to Kendra. She took the lobsters and felt sorry for them. She remembered that there is a humane way of killing a lobster. Putting him in the freezer for 20-30 minutes put him into a deep sleep and he dies without pain.

So she explained it to Isaa and Fluffy. They sighed. Kendra always thought about everything. Even when killing fish she used fast and quick moves to kill the fish so it's not in too much pain. Isaa asked her why and Kendras answer was.''What if my next reincarnation is an animal?''

She really didn't know what to say on that. Since then she chose to not die again. What if she wakes up when someone is trying to eat her alive? She shook even while thinking of that. So since then she always tried to be respectful to all living things. Even if they eat them, that doesn't mean that they have no soul. Look at Fluffy... Everything is possible.

Fluffy felt her stare and his hairs went up. ''I am not edible...'' he said while trying to hide behind Kendra. Who knows what kind of weird ideas she might get.

''I just taught that there is a possibility of any other form of living to become a higher being. Look at Mother Oyster. She was just a little oyster and became so old. So I will indeed try my best to eat and kill with humanity.'' she said looking serious.

Kendra sighed. '' You mean kill then eat?''

''No I mean eat and then kill more to eat. But I will kill just enough for me to fill my stomach. We shouldn't kill more than we can handle.'' said Isaa.

''That is impossible. I plan to kill a few pigs and dry their meat or leave some frozen meat. Sometimes we have to kill to eat. But sometimes I feel like becoming vegetarian.'' said Kendra while thinking about it clearly.

If she gathers enough vegetables that could support her living, she might give up on meat altogether. But not yet. This world is large. Who knows...

Isaa looked at Fluffy in confusion and he looked confused as well. They turned to Kendra and asked...: ''What is vegetarian? Something to eat?''

Kendra got stunned. Yeah probably this world don't have such thing or Isaa never got in contact with those people, so she smiled and explained. ''Vegetarians are people that can survive on vegetables and milk products, some even eat eggs that are not fertilized. Vegetarians usually don't eat meat at all as their own choice is not to kill any living being.''

Fluffy and Isaa nodded, but then shook their head simultaneously. ''I understand and no, I like meat. So I probably won't turn into one of those.''

Kendra hugged her and patted her head. ''It is understandable. I am like that as well. But if there is ever choice for me to have something that could replace meat with similar taste, hmm I might give up on it. Everyone has their own choices. Let's cook the lobsters.''

She saw that they have no more living breath and put them into hot boiling water. The lobsters are best when they are not overcooked or undercooked. But if there is no other choice, she would still prefer to overcook it.

She taught about it. Some say its ok 7min per pound some say its better 8 min per pound. These monsters these two brought were probably 6-7 pounds so she probably needs to cook them at least 50 min. She taught about it. How can she know how long it will take. She didn't so she pulled about her own now and then till she was not completely sure that they were done. She took out the butter and garlic. She smashed garlic into a paste and mixed it with the butter. She took out a lemon as well she had from before.

As soon the lobsters were out the pots she used her big knife to slice them in half and clean the one and only thing from the lobster. One line down his back. Its the only intestine they should not eat. She cleaned it on all three lobsters, one side of lobsters she put the butter-garlic mix and the other she will sprinkle with some lemon later on.

Fluffy started grumbling while he saw Isaa literally swallowing huge pieces of lobster meat. Kendra laughed and took all the meat from the shell on one plate and let Fluffy eat as she enjoyed the taste.

When she put the meat in her mouth teh tastes again exploded. She even had that mhmmmmm sound when she swallowed. It is after all the best when is still fresh and from a clean environment.

They enjoyed their food and after it, all three went to sleep after putting up again the water to cook.

Kendra slowly closed her eyes as she held her bulging stomach. Luckily hse has powers and won't get indigestion as it seems.

Whatever. She patted her stomach and smiled sleepily...Hmmmm. She smacked her lips a few times and fell almost asleep with a huge smile on her face.

Having fun and food and family. She slightly opened eyes and saw Isaa and Fluffy sleeping with wide open arms like pigs. It's fine like that as well. As long they are happy and content. She yawned and fell asleep now thoroughly.

The days that will come can be only leisurely...
