Chapter 61 - 61.Strange things happening everywhere

While Kendra, Isaa, and Fluffy had a wonderful time at the sea in the city happened so many changes.

Down under the city palace the city Lord and Xara walked silently down the stairs. They found out shortly from one of the nobles that there is more than one secret path in the palace. They let him go as he was not directly in the ring of horrors as they call those people.

He felt grateful and told the story that one of the noble she knew told him while they were drinking. Under the castle, there are many rooms and caves. This was in ancient time secret part of one sect and some nobles still had the knowledge of it.

He told the Lord about deep cave deep under the palace and with the help of earthen powers he found entryways to many of the rooms and caves. The strange thing is most of those rooms are just big and dusty but some were made like sleeping quarters or training places.

The deeper he went the more he saw. The places were not used for thousands of years apparently. They checked every room and all they were sure is that in every room there is a big stone on the roof that could be used as a light with a wisp of energy. At first, he was happy about it as he could use these rooms for his new secret army but as they went deeper the rooms seemed to have to be used years ago or some even recently.

It seems that there is another way to the castle and that someone is using his own home as their own place. Thinking about it he started getting angry. First, they killed his father and made such a mess in his city and now they even dare to use his place?

He shook in anger but suddenly he felt small hand slipping into his. He looked at the two hands with intertwined fingers and his anger started dissipating. She looked at him with a comforting smile and with a slight pressure of her hand she gave him insurance that she is there, at his side.

''Xara, I am grateful to your family that you exist in this world. I really do,'' he said while he turned and walked down with determination while holding her hand.

She smiled and walked with a smile on her face and coldness in her eyes. Someone tried harming her future home...Who cares?

They went down for a long time and the earth elementalist told them that there are currently no caves or rooms just way deep down. They started walking faster and suddenly they stopped.

They saw a humongous door on the end of steps.

They tried all they could to open it. With pure strength, with levers and use of all kind of ideas, but nothing worked. Xara got angry and turned to the door.

She looked at the door and tried her fire powers to melt it, few soldiers with the same power helped her and only after they were almost exhausted the door melted. What they saw was so amazing that their mouth was wide agape.

It was a huge cave that was so big, that you couldn't see the other end of it. On sealing of the cave stood immense crustal that had some light in it. Xara looked at the soldiers and ordered them to send as many wisps of power as they could. The crystal alone was like a reversed mountain.

The number of wisps might look small but as they were people that fought wars for over 20 years their power is much stronger than normal Elementalist.

They send continuously the wisps of power till they didn't start feeling kind of weak, so when the Lord saw that he stopped them. In between, the reverse mountain seems to have gathered enough power and started giving a brighter light.

In front of them seem to be flat ground. They could see many different openings and it seems that the cave has many open ways here and outside. They got quite curious.

''Stop it now. There seem to be too many ways and we don't have enough people with us." said the Lord as he looked at the dark passages. "Let's get the division over here. Xara you are fast. Go up and bring the whole division and enough supplies for a few days. It seems we need to make a base here. "

He started taking orders. The earth elementalists prepared ground and made traps in it. The metal elementalists used their powers to find and use the metals to make sharp sticks and nets all over the cave. They worked so well together that all they had to do is now wait for backup.

Xara run up in speed. He knew one of her treats was speed. She was up in no time and gathered enough people to send down with supplies.

At that moment she taught about Kendra's nagging about the food and started laughing.

She was nagging for so long about the Granary. They indeed need to take care of that before they start building the school.

She chuckled as she taught about the face Kendra would make if she knew that they are not prepared for such cases. What is she actually doing?

In the same time, Kendra and Isaa were using their powers playfully. They realized that if they use the powers till almost exhaustion it's way easier to expand their sea of power. And it was safer.

They learned a few more water skills. The rain and the mist and the water wall, they knew from before. But now they made it faster and stronger.

The wall would become thicker and higher, Kendra knew how to make a dome. The mist turned as well thicker and could but used as hiding or attacking the place and the rain could become a storm.

Kendra used seawater to make a cloud that could carry her but not high, just a few meters over the surface. Unfortunately, she couldn't make for Isaa to use and when she tried to have them in on it in her arms the cloud failed.

She felt frustrated. "Isaa we will have to make you use the powers more often so you could learn this as well. Think about it. We could travel on the clouds, isn't it amazing?"

Isaa looked at her with interest. "Never heard such thing before. Bit quite convenient. Fluffy you need to learn to make a cloud as well. It seems its cloud per person." She sighed but was happy at the same time. When they learn that, many things will become easier.

"Kendra, will you teach others this as well?" she asked in a bit of worry.

"You didn't learn now as well, how can I teach others till we don't make it perfect. Let's learn how many different attacks and defenses we can make with water power. Except that, I will make the abilities in different stages and they have to earn it with hard work. The two of us have a special body and we can learn it faster than them anyway. But for someone who just started and wants to play with powers, they can hurt themselves. So let's see what are easy ways to learn and how they can use some abilities and skills using their speed of learning.'' Kendra was clear about their own power.

Isaa nodded in agreement. After all, they cultivated a bit different than the people they met. Fluffy had to agree as well. He was ancient after all and had different abilities as normal elementalist. Isaa and Kendra were different as well as other children he ever met so he was happy to be part of their family.

''Isaa, let's rest a bit and have something to eat. What do you want? It's been a few days since we ate special vegetables. Do you want me to make you something special with those?'' she asked while thinking about teh amazing taste. Since they ate teh vegetables last time they didn't touch it anymore.

She suddenly remembered the creatures in teh pots. She would look now and then and saw that they felt quite comfortable in the container she prepared. She taught about the taste that special vegetables gave and taught about it. What if the sea animals change as well?

She took out the pot with fishes and saw that they even reproduced in such a short time. All three of them got stunned. Does it even make sense? It was just a couple of days ago and now they already have a bunch of new fishes. She took out one of the big fishes and taught about it. It probably will taste even better than normal ones as these even grew a lot.

She took only one and saw that it grew three times his original size. They stared at the fish with astonishment. Kendra taught about some recipes she read before and was worried if she can make a similar recipe. She quickly took seasonings out and went into the greenhouse to take some fresh special vegetables. The combination of these two will probably be amazing.

Isaa took the onions, carrots, squash, tyme and bunch of garlic cloves. She cut the onions, carrots, and squash (zucchini) and cut it in biteable pieces. She added garlic cloves, thyme and mixed it with olive oil. She put one half on the bottom of the pot then cleaned fish filet and then rest of the vegetables. The lid on it and put inisde fire, as she had no oven here. She was worried so she regulated the temperature by adding gradually the ember.

Soon the refreshing scent hit out the pot. They squatted around the pot as their noses smelled delicous smell slowly creeping out the pot. Kendra indeed had lots of food that Niram made but eating such food...She imagined herself sitting next pot as a small wolf with water overflowing out the mouth. She shook her head. She had no time for some crazy thoughts.

She slowly removed the ember of teh pot and slowly opened it. The mixture of the different smells hit her. She wanted spicy fish, but she knew that Isaa couldn't handle it. So she made a mixture of olive oil and lemon and sprinkled over it. The smell got even stronger.

Isaa and Fluffy stood there like statues. She got worried and saw them staring at teh pot like they would eat the pot itself if she doesn't stop their crazy thoughts. She snapped with her fingers at their forehead to wake them up.

She slowly took three plates and filled on all three plates with vegetables and fish. She was about to start eating but heard a peculiar sound. She raised her head and saw two pigs. Not human and ancient than two creatures stuffing their face directly with food. She was so stunned that peace of fish slipped off her fork and was about to fall on the floor but Fluffy quickly got it and continued to stuff his face with food.

Kendra's mouth stood wide agape. How is it even possible to eat like this, do they even breathe?

They seemed like they didn't have to eat for days, like a hungry wolf pack. She didn't even put one piece into her mouth and tehy were already finished and looked at her still hungry.

Kendra filled their plates again in a trance as she didn't know how to react to this. She took one bite of teh vegetables and fish and teh taste was clearly tens of times better than common fish. But what happened next was that her sea of power slowly started stirring. Like some kind of storm inside of her sea of power. But it didn't last long so it calmed down and she just continued to eat calmly still concentrating on any changes.

Luckily nothing else happened. She slowly ate the rest and saw then the two greedy piggies with filled tummies laying on the soft sand. She put them in her hands and brought them into the shade and laid them down in their hammock.

She looked at the pot and put leftovers into her space in one of the jars. It seems she needs to save this for later. She went again into the greenhouse and saw that most vegetables again had produced.

She was about to turn around and saw Fluffy standing behind her.

He looked at her meaningfully. She nodded. It's better to make tryout when Isaa is not around, as she would be worried. She put the greenhouse and Fluffy inside the space and saw that he walked around just fine, but something strange happened the moment he wanted to step outside the greenhouse into space. His small foot got stuck like in some kind of vacuum.

She quickly took him out and saw that he was clearly anxious.

''We know now that it is possible to stay inside space but in this case, I think only inside the greenhouse. Later you will have to help me to prepare sleeping space for the two of you. Just in case you two need to be safe. Ok?'' She asked while being all content.

Finally, she knew that there is air but it seems only for certain places. In the case of fishes, they had their water space and in case of plants the greenhouse that she sprinkled with power water.

She taught about teh well. Fluffy told her that teh water inside is even more powerful so it could act as the help for the traveling. She really needs to get the original power water. Or at least some of it.

She went to look at the sleepy Isaa. Soon she will make this child stronger so she can be as stronger as she is. Or even stronger.If that is her wish...
