We have today orthodox easter so I will give you same present as last week. Do you want it?

Fintan drove them home and then left as soon as they got down.

Kendra opened the gate and let them in. She looked at their tired faces and let everyone go to the bathroom. Isaa and the girls went first and Kendra used it afterward.

She sighed. She forgot to leave the oysters at Fintan's store. She will do that later on.

The girls came out the bathroom refreshed and Kendra sent them up to bed. As the beds were huge they choose to share beds. Kendra and Isaa on one bed and Tyra and Ada on the other.

She let them go to sleep while she went to the bathroom to take a bath. She slowly entered the bath and Lilly joined her.

"Do you plan to let them stay here with us?" she asked.

"For now yes. I need to teach them the way of our cultivation. I can feel that Ada'ssea of power is in mess and Tyra's sea of power seems to slow. I need to make them stabilize the powers. Except that, where can I send them? If they want I will find a house for themselves if they want to live alone. If they choose to live with us we will just buy more beds. I plan these two to stay with us and become strong elementalist. Tyra's healing power could in case of urgency be extremely helpful for our parents. And Ada's water power could complement ours as well. The strange thing that I feel that I can control fire as well. I need to try it out later on.'' she went out the water and was instantly dry. Lilly went out of the water and just shook her fur and all the water fell off.

''Teach me as well. I need to become stronger as well,'' asked Lilly.

Kendra nodded and used her powers to clean the bathhouse. She used the water to water the plants and then went into the garden. She was about to sit on the floor when she felt someone approaching. She turned her head and saw Tyra. Kendra sat on the floor and patted the place next to her.

Tyra sat down with a smile.''Are you not sleepy? Why are you sitting here?''

''Since you knew you had powers, have you ever tried to gather more energy inside your sea of powers.'' Tyra looked at Kendra not understanding what she meant.

Kendra summoned wisp of powers and held it in her hand. ''This is a wisp of powers. They usually have different colors as it seems. I didn't know that and gathered all. But to make your power stronger you have to gather the ones that are good for your own. This pure white is light energy that could supplement your sea of powers. It seems you used often your power but never gathered and absorbed any, right?''

Tyra looked at the small light in Kendra's hand. It felt warm and attractive. Somehow she felt hungry for it. She looked at Kendra.''Don't think I'm crazy, but I feel like I'm hungry for it.''

Kendra smiled and nodded.''Of course, you are. Your sea of powers is so depleted and you almost hurt it badly. Actually, I planned to make you learn this tomorrow but it's fine if you do it now. Now take this wisp and try to absorb it. Take it in your hand and hold it near your body. Close your eyes and concentrate on it. You will be able to see where it travels.''

Kendra sent the wisp to Tyra's hand and saw her closing eyes. Soon the wisp disappeared and Tyra opened eyes. ''What was this? The light energy in my body, is that my sea of powers?''

Kendra smiled. ''Yes. I can't see inside, but somehow I can feel that it was almost empty after you healed that man. I was worried all the way, but you seemed to be used to such depleted situation. You probably taught it will be fine after sleep. But actually, the natural reserve that your body had was a way too depleted to be filled by themselves. Now close your eyes and concentrate. Think about the wisp you got inside your body. Try to find one and concentrate on that one. Summon him and absorb him into your sea of powers.''

Tyra closed her eyes and Kendra did as well. Kendra could see all the energies floating around them. Suddenly one light wisp slowly approached Tyra and slowly entered her body. ''Continue till you feel full. Don't take to much as the sea of powers need to start using it. It's like overeating, but worse. If you do too much the sea can get hurt. Let it start to swirl and then stop. You can continue tomorrow when that happened.''

Kendra after that stopped concentrating on Tyra's body and started gathering red wisps around her. She slowly let them enter her sea and saw them merging with other wisps. It seems it will take time to gather enough to make a stream of firepower.

The two girls slowly gathered energy and Lilly as well. She heard the way tehy did it and was stunned. Is this the reason why Fori (Fluffy) because strong in such a short time. If they knew this way. It seems their ancestors just like fighting. She smiled as she saw lots of small dots around Kendra. This girl will later on do so many changes in the world. What would elders do if they knew?

She closed her eyes and suddenly reopened it. She looked at teh corner of the garden. Now she understood why Kendra sat in mid of garden and spoke loudly. She smirked and closed eyes.

The shadow disappeared and went to another garden. Voice could be heard. ''Master, I never saw anything like that.''

The other person was in the shadow of teh trees, only green eyes could be seen. ''What did you learn?''

The shadow approached and explained. The man nodded and ordered all of them to use the way of cultivation. Then he turned his head towards the place where Kendra's house is. ''What is your plan? I know you could feel me, but why do you keep me by your side, I wonder?''

Suddenly he turned around and saw a small child and a pet getting closer. ''I could feel your energy that day but was not sure why you got closer to me. If you want to learn more you have to obey my orders. If you ever disobey I will tear apart your abilities and you all will become simple humans. I don't need wicked people around me. The country is in turmoil and as it seems you know how bad a situation can become. I need people that could protect the King. Are you willing?''

The boy looked at her and nodded. ''You never asked me who I am. Why do you trust me?''

''If you planned to attack me you would have done it a long time ago. Of course, you all would have lost it as I know I am stronger than any of you. Tomorrow you and your people will come with me to the palace. They will be trained by the soldiers of his Lordship. You need to be trained by me. Now tell me your real name and background.''

''My name is really Thalis Colo. My family lived on the other side of the country and my father was a small noble but was actually a kind person. One day he met some strange woman and started changing. One day my mother fell down the stairs and broke her leg. Unfortunately, she had complications and died shortly after that. That was five years ago. I was just a little child back then but suddenly I got stepmother and two stepbrothers. That wouldn't have been a big problem if the strange thing didn't start happening. My father started turning in vicious tyrant and suddenly had a stroke and died. One night my stepmom came to my room as she taught I was sleeping and tried to poison me with a snake. I luckily at that time knew that I had powers and it helped me fake the death. I escaped with a few of my people and realized that all of our guards had powers. Father was worried about our safety and gathered subordinates around me that had some powers. We put on fire whole house and surrounding and run. We escaped and ended up here two years ago. We bought the house here and planned to live a safe life but then changes started. The bad people started disappearing around us. We could see hard work teh Lord did and tried to get in contact with him but failed. But then noticed teh way the guards talked with you. So we followed and saw many things. I got closer to you as I planned to ask you a few things but suddenly you disappeared for a while. I felt uneasy and my people searched for the whole city but couldn't find you. Now you are back I had to find a way. So I taught about the direct approach. I never could have taught that you would invite me just like that to your home and let me eat your food without worries. But then I realized one thing. Your powers are not detectable until you don't show it. You showed a little bit to make me realized that you have, right? That is the reason I follow you and will stay by your side. Do whatever you want with us.''

Kendra calmly listened to his story and looked at him with deep admiration. He survived as it seems so much and was still thinking like a grown-up person. he is just thirteen years young boy. She sighed. It seems she really need to help more. But she planned to travel... She shrugged, well she can travel and help children around the country. Not a bad deal.

''I plan to travel the country but before that, I need to make my powers even stronger. Go use the powers you heard and we will continue tomorrow. Take all of your elementalist and wait for me in front of the inner gate in the morning. I need to go back.'' she summoned the cloud put Lilly into space, jumped on it and quickly flew towards her home.

They all dazed after seeing her flying on the cloud. He turned around and ordered them to start cultivating as he taught about the boy. Maybe in the future, he will be able to become as strong as Kendra. But now...
