Days passed and Kendra and Isaa gained more and more power but there is something strange going on lately. Even if they had water power they couldn't go deeper into the water than 50m.
Luckily the sea is clean and clear. So far they didn't meat any problems or dangerous animals.
They played, cultivated and learned new stuff from those books as the days passed. Kendra didn't see anything wrong with the books so far. She just planned to write some additional remarks that could make some help with the cultivation.
She gathered so far enough salt even for sale. She noticed that since she got her next level of powers she could feel more things connected to the water. But not only that. She felt slightly that she could connect to something more.
Remembering that her Highness has dual elements she planned to try out is it possible to use others. But not yet...She needs first to go back and check the library. Those books she took were already done and she needs to check the rest of the books for water elements.
She slowly sat next to the stones and felt the currents of the water. Yes, now she can feel the currents and even connect to them. She first wants to see is it possible to change their direction or see if tehy could be used for her deeper sensitivity.
The human mind and the powers that it had has been secret even in her past world. She feels that her body and mind connected more since she started truly cultivating. She can now feel her heartbeat and blood circulation and even connection between the breathing and blood circulating.
The strange thing is that she realized something strange on her body. Her heart starts slowing down under water. And instead breathing she uses the energy from the sea of power as her oxygen to breathe when she is swimming.
She started doing cultivation to use the wisps of power to slowly circulate through her own body. But it was too strong because her wisps are quite compressed. Sh realized that isaa don't compress her powers and explained her to first try to compress her energy in the body as it is easier to use. Unfortunately, Isaa failed. She needs to learn more about her own body before trying as it seems.
Kendra thought about it and used a sliver of energy while concentrating at her lungs. She added the sliver of light to keep breathing while she stopped using natural air. And an amazing thing happened. The lungs slowly absorbed the energy and sent it to the heart and veins to circulate through the body.
At that moment her body started using the energy as the only way of breathing. She waited to see how long it will take to use the sliver of energy but it took her whole night and there was still power migrating through her body without a problem.
She read in the novels that her body will be purified from all the problems and excess if she gains better powers, but she had already a good body that even ate special food. There was no purifying effect. But her skin definitely became softer and her hair became stronger and grew again. She sighed as she looked at the long hair.
She liked her hair. In past life, she always wanted to have long and strong hair and in this life she has it. Looking at the hair color she became a kind of emotional. It seems she got her wished color. In novels, the deities always had long black hair but she always wanted blond or white hair as her past hair was kind of brownish and she didn't like it. She tried to dye it, but her appearance became scary after that so she changed it into a darker color and left it like that to end of her days.
But this time it seems that her wish came true. The ice blond color would sometimes shine like gold and sometimes like ice. Isaa told her that her color sometimes gets even some of the red hue when she gets upset.
Kendra found that quite interesting. So she planned to change her mind and start wearing female clothes but then remembered many things that happened so far so she stayed by teh original idea. She cute her hair quite short this time with the help of Isaa and choose to leave it that short for a while.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the cut she made opened her face even more and made her big eyes and cute face stand out even more. She still looked like a boy just like quite a beautiful boy.
She started reading history books and realized they are not history books. There are more ramblings of an unknown person and his thoughts about the world they lived in and his personal views.
She got annoyed. Actually, as she was quite a quick reader she could see absolutely no proper information about the kingdom or world. Just he says she says things about the kings, nobles and their personal affairs. She sighed, maybe the King could use this as proof to handle some of the big families but for her, it was no use at all.
She was quite disappointed. It seems she will talk to Xara and the Lord when she goes back to the city. She needs anyways to read more books. Maybe if she starts reading the other basic books off other elements she might find out what other elements she had.
She saw the sun coming up as the new day started. She planned today to make a simple salad for breakfast as lately, they ate lots of meat and fish. She found out that the plants grew faster when the greenhouse is set in the space than outside. So she left it inside. Now they had lots of fresh vegetables every day. But still, she saved the vegetables and grains that she bought before. Who knows what is it good for.
She stood up and went to Isaa's hammock. This child seems to have grown quite a lot. She needs to make new clothes for them. She will make new sets of clothes and shoes as well. Somehow she could feel that the weather was changing. She planned to go back to the city as the first rains might be coming soon. She wants to tell to Gulok and his wife to go home as they need to harvest.
She looked at Isaa and Fluffy and slowly pocked them. Isaa's eyelashes started fluttering and her eyes sleepily opened. She saw smiling Kendra and her heart filled with warmth. She opened her arms to be carried out and cuddled in Kendra's embrace.
Kendra nudged her little nose and joked with her.''One day you will get married and will cuddle like this to someone you like. I think you acting so cutely will get you a fine husband.''
Isaa opened eyes and stared at her mischievously.''Brother if you continue being more and more beautiful you might break many hearts after they find out you are female.''
''You little...'' Kendra was flabbergasted about her comment. She really needs a mirror. She still has no idea how her features are. If she looks too much like female it makes no sense to continue acting as a boy. Right?
''Do you want to eat something for breakfast? I planned plain salad, what about you?'' she really wanted to just cut the tomatoes, cuc.u.mbers, but of fresh onion leaves and pieces of cheese. Salt them put some olive oil and joy with peace of bread. Hmmmm.
Isaa taught about it. She liked the vegetables but lately, she started preferring more the fish from the container in Kendra's space. She looked Kendra and it seems no meat today so she gave up. ''Salad it is. But I want some eggs with it. I am lately so hungry.''
Kendra saw that as well. Isaa grew fast in the last few months. It seems later on Isaa will be much taller than Kendra. But Kendra didn't mind that. She never had a problem with hights before as she was quite short in a past life as well but was no problem. If Isaa grows in tall beauty it's fine with her.
''Isaa what do you think we leave back to the city. It's about time we go back. The potatoes should be already grown and the city probably had many changes as well. I hope to get more books about the cultivation of our powers as well. And some history books, maps and similar. I need to buy some paper and write some things we later realized that could be changed. Right? But first, we need to check the rest of the water elementals books.''
She planned to check their teaching plans and hoped they had similar ideas as she had. Soon the winter will come and she will have enough time to sit and read. The well...now her strength grew quite a lot. It seems since the last time she was not even halfway through the next level of power. But her strength was quite scary.
Once she planned to move a stone and realized that it was easy as a feather. She played with it for quite a while and scared Isaa and Fluffy. WHat she saw it was just stone what they saw it was a big boulder that she playfully threw and played with. Fluffy later told her that is normal as her body got new power through her use of energy wisps as the breathing force.
She still breathed normal but from time to time when she gathered energy from the sea and at absorbing she would send from time to time tiny silvers of energy into her body. She tried into her heart, kidneys, liver, spleen and even her head but all worked accept her brain.
She packed her stuff and got into space. She washed the old blanket and stored it for later use. Who knows what is good for. She took all the clean pots inside as they washed it every night. The funny thing is, Fluffy loved sitting inside the greenhouse. He said that air there is filled with energy as well.
Isaa was jealous of him. Kendra tried to put Isaa into her space but it seems it was not possible as she couldn't yet.
But she could make her own cloud now. So when they finished Kendra let Fluffy enter her space as she made her cloud and waited for Isaa. Of course, Isaa needed more time and when she sat comfortably on teh cloud she was so happy.'' Brother, this is the best thing so far we learned how to make. Let's go back to the city. I am ready.''
Kendra nodded.'' Yes but only to go closer to teh city, rest of the way we will walk. I don't want to peopel to know about this. You understand that right?''
Isaa nodded. Of course, she knew so far that such power is unheard off. But Kendra was right. They still needed to read the rest of the books. And tehy have to find out what kind of levels of powers there are. Even Fluffy told them that he learned new powers only through fighting. Since he started cultivating with them he saw that many things are different than he learned before.
The clouds tehy made he was still unable to do and he was frustrated. It seems he needs to gather, absorb and cultivate his powers more to be closer to them. In Kendra's space was easier for him to cultivate so he planned to do so and Kendra accepted.
They floated over water as they chatted about this and that and in no time they were at the other side of the bay. They hopped off the clouds that dissipated as they stepped off and walked back home. Kendra let Fluffy come out of space and they laughingly went around the corner. What they saw stocked their breath...
