Chapter 82 - 82.The well

As there was no imminent danger from that person the city opened gates for the new market day. But what caught her eyes is her new store. Today was opening day and she saw a line of people entering and exiting. Suddenly she saw a familiar face. This came to the door to let a new group of people inside the store. This group had food to offer and they knew that the store buys it out. So This took them to the part where is the warehouse.

Kendra and Isaa looked at each other and then jumped off the carriage she turned and looked at Fintan with a beaming smile.''Uncle, go back and just relax, or if you are bored do the same. The winter is coming and you should think about buying as much of necessities as possible. You probably lost a lot while you fed the whole city. Of course, you have to think that there is no word as too much. You can always use it or sell it next year when you...Wait....'''she got closer to his ears and whispered.''Soon two of us will go for a flight around Lord's fief. Send me some silver and list what you need. I will buy it all on my way.''

He nodded and turned his carriage to go back. At first, she wanted to go to the store but on the way, she saw the seamstress that made the clothes they are wearing. She ordered a few sets of clothes for herself and Isaa in various sizes. This time she ordered boy clothes for Isaa as well. She went to the shoemaker and ordered as well different sizes of normal shoes and boots as well as special orders of boots filled with sheep wool from inside and waxed from outside in various sizes as well. Isaa chooses various colors for herself and Kendra just choose plain colors as usual.

On end, they went to their store that was filled with people. Kendra wondered how did This end up working in her store. She squeezed between a few women and what they saw was amazing. Counters filled with different kind of vegetables, fruits, and grains in various qualities. On one side was dry food and the other side had fresh food.

In mid were Chial and Niram on two scales weighing the food and taking the payments as two helpers and four boys helped costumers in choice and amount of their purchase.

Kendra looked at customers that shopped comfortable. It seems that in store can be only a certain amount of customers and rest have to wait outside. That actually makes sense as the number of people outside is ridiculous.

They looked around and suddenly This saw them and walked straight to them with a smile. ''Oh hello there the two of you. I didn't see you for a while. Come in, tell me what you need I will help you.''

Kendra looked at Chial and Niram that had full hands with work and didn't want them to get distracted so she shook her head.''Today is a market day so it's crazy. I can come here tomorrow and we can chat, maybe then it will be a little fewer people.''

This nodded and then had to run to help out one woman who bought happily bunch of food for her family. Kendra took Isaa's hand as they went out.

''They have to much work to do to be able to talk to us, lets come back another day. Do you want me to buy you some sweets or do you want me to cook something at home?''

Isaa looked at her with shiny eyes. ''Please cook something nice. We still have those lobsters and fishes in space right?''

Kendra laughed and looked at the big pots filled with all kind of fishes, shrimps, and lobsters. Strange as long they are in energy infused water, space don't harm them. Same with greenhouse. She saw in greenhouse Lillya and Fluffy playing around. It seems they are awake. She let them know she will cook some food when they get back home so they were quite happy.

But first, she went to her friends that had home vegetables. Only the two women were there that they knew and greeted them happily.''Kendra, Isaa you are here? I didn't see the two of you for a long time.''

''We traveled to visit our family friends. What do you sell today?'' she asked as she saw a bunch of flat baskets filled with some strange purple plants.

''We went to the hill behind our village. There is a forest and usually, we only find some mushrooms or things like that. But then another day we found a bunch of these plants and we took them out together with roots. We don't know what they are, but we know one thing for sure. they are edible. I made soup with this and it was amazing. I will gather some again next year.'' said the woman while she held the plants.

The other woman nodded.''I made stuffed leaves with meat and vegetables and my children went crazy about it. So we gathered most of it and dried it for winter and these few we brought to sell. It could be a great replacement for greens or cabbage.''

''How much do you sell?''Kendra asked while touching the leaves. She felt really attracted to the strange plant.

The women looked at each other and asked for fifty simple coins for ten baskets of the plant.

Kendra didn't even think about it and bought all ten baskets of the plant and paid them each one silver as she bought the baskets as well... She sent Isaa again to get one of the carriers and paid the women the plant and the baskets as well. They were happy about the money and went straight back home as Kendra had asked them to bring her as many plants with roots as they could and she will pay them handsomely.

When they arrived at home she paid the man to bring it in her garden and closed the door as soon he was out. Isaa was quiet all the time as she looked at plants.''This plant...I can feel somehow energy within. This is strange. Did you buy to cook it?''

''Actually, I want to plant few in my greenhouse and rest on our farm. But for now, I will just soak the roots with the powerful water and then...wait...I will just sprinkle some power water over it. I need to open the well of origin. Let's eat something first and then we can continue.''Kendra moved all the plants into her space for now after she put the roots into the energy barrel and turned to the kitchen to cook something.

She took some garlic, leeks, fish, green beans, and butter. She will make sauteed green beans with butter and garlic and put in one pan then she used leeks and fish and sauteed them as well slightly and slowly put on top of green beans. She added some dill and rosemary as a seasoning and slowly fried in a closed pot with elemental fire. She let Lilly and Fluffy outside the space and they ate it together with median salad. ( Tomato, cuc.u.mbers, onions, and sheep cheese cubes, mixed with a tad of olive oil and a pinch of salt. With that Kendra gave some bread that she fried with olive-garlic-butter.

The smell of different kind of vegetables and seasonings hit them as they slowly started eating. They tasted the fish with beans and salad and soon only the sound of their eating could be heard. In silence, they entered almost feeling of purification.

The energy that food was containing spread through their bodies over and over again. The taste of fresh vegetables and the fish practically exploded inside their mouth.

Lilly looked at Kendra and felt really grateful. Even tho they are old rases but they never had such food before. She finished the rest of the meal and waited for everyone to be done as well.

Kendra finished the last bite and looked at her. "Its time to visit the well of origin. I taught about it. It was good that I couldn't open it last time. This time we can make a big wall around the opening and so no commoners would be hurt by the strength if its power."

She quickly used the powers to clean everything before they went to the wall. It was still daytime and there was enough light but they closed the door as Kendra produced fireball that stood still up in the sky while she jumped down to quickly slide to Dept's where the little stone was.

But when she arrived she had a totally new sight. The little stone grew bigger as it seems. 'Does this means that Mother Oyster will reappear again?' she taught by herself. She looked at the lever that was almost fully hidden behind the stone and gathered all the energy she could inside her body to slowly turn it.

Finally, she successfully turned it and almost cit the water as she speedily went up. Luckily they were already prepared and made the barrier around the opening. Kendra made water dome around it, infusing it with some energy power and they opened the one on top of the well while connecting to the water dome she made.

The second the other boundary was open they hot hit by the amazing amount of energy and ... fresh air. Kendra surprisingly looked at Fluffy and Lilly. "Didn't you say that the energy from this well is almost deadly. Why do I smell the fresh air and just feel refreshed?"

They shrugged as they really didn't know what is going on. Kendra still left the dome that she made around the well and slowly walked down the stairs together with Isaa, Fluffy and Lilly.

The ball of fire was strong enough to light their way down. It seems they will have to walk a long time and Kendra was thinking that makes no sense. So she let Fluffy and Lilly inside her space as herself and Isaa made clouds and flew down.

But even this way it took them quite some time to go down. Kendra already taught about are they going to mid of planet. She looked at tiered Isaa and choose to make a break.

" The stairs are big enough. We can gather our energies here and cultivate until we replenish the energy we used. I'm a bit hungry, let's eat."

Isaa nodded and ate the food Kendra prepared beforehand and left in space."Brother, I am tired. Do we have those hanging beds? Let's hook them on the walls and sleep for a while. " Asked Isaa while she rubbed her eyes.

Kendra nodded but when she turned around she realized that it was almost impossible tasks. The walls were cut cleanly so there was nothing that could make them beds but Kendra got an idea. Isaa your powers rose so did mine. Let's me try making a big cloud and try standing on it.

She turned and under Isaa's amazed eyes she made a big cloud. Kendra went under the cloud just in case Isaa fall trough, so she would catch her. But nothing happened. Suddenly she could hear a happy voice over her head.

"Brother, brother I can stand now on it." she cheerfully chirped and Kendra sighed in relief.

It was successful this time. She let Isaa blanket over Isaa and sat down to replenish the energy. She started cultivating and as soon she had enough energy she made the cloud go down quite quickly. Isaa was quite tired and slept comfortably next to Kendra.

She snuggled and put the head on Kendra's lap as she slept peacefully. Kendra actually didn't need to stand to be able to control the cloud so the trip down continued for a long time in silence.

Suddenly there was change. Isaa woke up from the energy that suddenly surrounded them. But the strange thing was that the energy was not against them. It felt like a light wind caressing them and as they got deeper and deeper the energy felt like more like water.

Kendra suddenly realized one thing. Who said that well of origin had water? She got the two fluffy balls out space and stared at them.

"WHAT is well if origin?" asked Kendra.

Lilly and Fluffy looked at each other and smiled. " Finally you ask the question. This whole place is well if origin. It has an unimaginable amount of pure energy and an Elementalist can use it. But the problem with well, she chooses herself who she wants to help. You are now deep in the well. Sit down and the well will harden the walls of your sea if powers and fill it in."

"Is there a story behind this place?" she asked curiously but didn't hear the answer as she fainted suddenly. Fluffy went to Isaa and Lilly went to Kendra's side and they started chanting...
