This time Kendra woke up and saw something creeping at her. She waited to see what it is, but what she saw was so funny that she started chuckling. The black shadow checked her from top till twos and then tried from every sight and when it saw there is no way for entering he unhappily turned around and wanted to go back.
But who is Kendra? She waved her hand and put the shadow into her space where Fluffy was sleeping. The shadow jumped around saw Fluffy and started growling. Then suddenly it jumped on Fluffy and started beating him up.
Fluffy opened eyes and sleepily tried to fight back.''Hey! Who dares to fight me? Wait I'm in Kendra's space, what are you? "
But when he opened his eyes and saw what attacked him hi started crying. He tried to escape this for thousands of years...he was found.
Wait, how is that even possible. Kendra...
"Kendra!!!" he yelled but there was no answer. He lightly pushed the black shadow away ."Aren't you going to stop acting up?"
The black shadow smacked his head." I should do what? Stop? You stupid idiot, how could you let me be alone for such a long time? What? Alone and no one with you? "
It seemed that the shadow started losing strength. Kendra took them both out space. She was already dressed and was looking at the two creatures flight. "Now who are you and what is going on?"
The shadow smacked his head one more time and went to Kendra. "Hello, child. I'm aunt Lilly. I was a dragon before failing. We took the test together and failed. Unfortunately, I got stuck inside the power stone in the well so I can come out only now and then." she looked accusingly at Fluffy.
"This stupid ancient has lost his memories. I am his wife. And no, It doesn't matter that we are different species. After the tenth level, we turn into humanoids. So it's no big deal." she said while kicking Fluffy.
"I think you are just senile. How can a dragon and an ancient become husband and wife? Impossible..." he mumbled while holding his head."And by the way, how comes you got the strength to hit me? You are still in shadow form."
"Sigh. I think I need to beat you up every day before you remember. If husband and wife connection is true and pure, their souls can support each other. That is the reason we didn't perish at last test. Not only that, if one gains power the other will be given half of it. I just need wisp of power from this child as she has the essence of life. If someone else gave you wisp you would have just gotten...nothing. You lived near well of origin so long because I and you forgot basic things. How strong is power in the well? Stupid. Why didn't we regain our bodies earlier? The power itself doesn't matter much to someone who has no physical body. Child, I need wisp of the essence to please." she got closer to Kendra.
"Then, why did you try to enter my body?" said Kendra with slight doubt.
"I felt space in you. Only those with life essence can make their own space. That's why not many have it. Later on, you will be able to make stuff with space inside. But not yet. Even tho you are strong on your own but the powers are still unstable. Maybe after the fifth or sixth stage." explained Lilly.
Kendra knew she needed someone to explain her many things and it seems Lilly didn't lose her memories.
She concentrated on her sea of powers and compressed a wisp of power and slowly sent to the shadow. Last time when she sent such condensed wisp of power to Fluffy she felt weak and felt like fainting but now her sea of power became stronger and stable. This wisp was nothing for her.
The wisp slowly entered shadow and slowly new thing appeared. Same as Fluffy but white with pink paws and ears. Kendra sighed. "Does everyone that failed and regained body become a cuddly creature?" she asked Lilly thinking how cute she is.
Lilly shook her head. " It was my choice to look like him or I would have to hear him talking about our differences."
Kendra nodded her head but taught about the problem. "Can't you look exactly like him. If I suddenly have two creatures everyone will ask for more..."
Lilly sighed." It's not changeable. Sorry."
Then she started jumping around happily. Then she stood on the sun and breathed air with full lungs. "How precious the feeling is to breathe and to feel the warmth if sunlight. I really feel free now."
Kendra felt happy for her. She actually wanted to sleep a bit but now she lost the sleepiness. She pulled the chair on the sun and breathed in as well. She liked the sounds of wind and sunshine on her face.
The two sat there for while silently while Fluffy sneakily went to Isaa's bed and snuggled in her arms.
Lilly sighed. "That old man acting like a little child, please forgive him. He really lost his memories and he probably will get it back after the tenth stage. Till then...we probably won't regain our original bodies. Unfortunately, all I know is what he taught me. So I won't be able to be of any help if he wasn't.''
" Don't worry about it. Let's just enjoy life. If we become stronger good, if not good as well. No big worries. I need just to live well, don't I?" Kendra spoke while having a content smile on her face. Her eyes were closed as she enjoyed the sunshine. She could feel that the weather will change and wanted to enjoy as much natural light as she could.
Lilly looked at her and poked her leg. "If I become childish as well, forgive me. I saw him having so much fun with two of you... I want as well."
Kendra slightly opened eyes and saw the small creature acting cutely. Even in a previous life, she was weak to cuteness and Lilly was really cute. She saw on Lilly's chest small pink dot but when she looked closely she saw it was a small heart. She started chuckling and took her in arms to cuddle her.
The two sat on sun enjoying it for a while and the other two slept in a bed in content.
