They slept all the way till the next morning. Isaa was first to wake up and saw Kendra sleeping peacefully. She taught about everything that happened so far.
It passed just half a year since her rebirth. Her last life felt like nothing more than a nightmare. Since Kendra took her in and became family everything changed for herself.
Soon she will enter the sixth year of her life. But still felt like they lived trough decade's together. She looked at Kendra's sleeping face and remembered what happened in the well.
It seems Kendra's progress was always bigger than hers. But it's natural. She is after all just small child and Kendra's inner power was always bigger than hers.
Like this Kendra as well might go to the next place. But knowing Kendra's nature...sigh. There is still a long time. They still have to help parents to grow more powerful people.
When they successfully find the materials for testing stone, they will go around the country and find power children.
That means in a couple of years there will be a busy town. She wondered how many more ideas Kendra had.
She looked at Kendra again and got stunned. Kendra sat there with one hand under her chin and smilingly looked at her.
''Good morning Isaa. You seem to be dazed as you were thinking about something. Can I help you somehow? " asked Kendra as she stood up and stretched.
"Actually I taught about what happened in the well. I didn't ask you, bit actually what changes happened to you?"
Kendra looked at Isaa and saw her looking like a small lion. Her hair was all over the place so she took the comb to make her look more like a child and not cute lion. Isaa closed eyes as Kendra slowly combed her now long hair.
"Isaa, you know we have the sea of powers. It seems as I skipped the boundaries, my sea of powers solidified and turned into some kind of sphere. I read the books from that man and I didn't find any notice about that this happened to him or anyone he met" she said while she softly detangled each strand of her hears slowly so she wouldn't feel pain.
Isaa taught about it. " Maybe because you skipped so many boundary's and jumping into the tenth, or maybe because your sea of powers was big enough even before that."
Kendra agreed."It could be that or both and plus you know that Fluffy and Lilly helped us. That could be one of the points as well. I thaught about it. You know how I always compress wisps of power. It could be one of the reasons as well. So from now on try to gather, compress and then use that into your sea of powers. Wait, Fluffy and Lilly said they can cultivate better and faster in my space. I will send you in. Try cultivating inside. And tell me are there any changes with your sea of powers. But do bit by bit. There ate Fluffy and Lilly so they will help you control the power."
Isaa nodded but then shook her head and turned around to look pitifully at Kendra. " I know you want me to become stronger, but could you please feed me first. I'm sure Fluffy and Lilly are hungry as well."
Kendra laughed and stubbed her small nose. She felt its not enough so she pinched her cheeks. "Of course I will cook something amazing. Our space inside could contain some animals as well. Maybe a pond for fishes what do you think? One for sea creatures and one for normal water. Let's talk about it after we eat. I'm hungry as well."
Isaa puffed her cheeks and smiled cheerfully. They walked downstairs and when they went down Kendra let Fluffy and Lilly out space. They had the same look on their little faces. It seems they are all starving.
With a smile, she took out potatoes, vegetables, meat, and seasonings to make stew as that was the fastest. Isaa helped her cut the vegetables as she used inner fire to cook some water that was infused with energy. In another pot, she put some oil and fried pieces of meat gold brown and put seasonings on top. She added some cut onions and continued to fry it together with meat and the amazing smell started spreading from the pot.
She added tomatoes on top of that and salt and when the tomatoes already turned into sauce she added precooked potato soup. She added on top some red bell peppers for bit taste and let it cook just little bit longer till the stew became creamy.
The smell of the stew spread all the way to waiting Isaa, Fluffy and Lilly, that had they head's up to inhale as much as they could. Their stomachs almost in same time growled. They stared at the pot with hungry eyes as Kendra took out the space prepared bread. She put it on the table and they started eating.
Suddenly thunder could be heard. Kendra stopped eating and went out of the house. She could see big white clouds approaching them and could feel already electricity in the air. She spread her arms and started cultivating. This time her body gathered wisps of lighting faster and faster. She chooses to do it now for two reasons. Even if she wants the rain to fall,but one reason is that lightning might hurt someone and the other reason is the wisps of lightning.
Since she went over the tenth boundary she knew that it will be now hard to gather real wisps accept she is near it. Water, earth, fire, and light are easy to find but wind, lighting, metal, and darkness are not as easy. So hearing strong thunder from far she knew the electricity in the air or in this case wisps of lightning could be quite useful for her. She stood there as wisps of lighting flew faster and faster towards the sphere of powers. Soon it started raining but there was no more lighting or thunder.
Kendra went to the house as nothing was and continued eating. Isaa looked at her and saw that not even one thread of her clothes was wet or dirty so she just shrugged and continued eating.
She already realized that the bigger the power is the easier it is to control it. So Kendra not being dirty is normality for her. After all, since she met Kendra, she was never dirty. Kendra made her wash every day and wash hands before food and even the house here was constantly clean. Only when they were at the seaside or at the farm she didn't complain.
She continued to eat and Fluffy and Lilly as well ignored the fact that Kendra was clean and dry. They couldn't stop eating the stew. Soon even last bits of stew were eaten and they sat there as some hot air came out their mouths. It seems they overdid it.
Kendra waved her hand and all the cutlery and pots were clean at the moment. She looked around and then looked out.''Isaa, even tho you have raised to fifth boundary we still have to use natures power to raise higher. The power in this first rain is quite strong. Go and gather it. The energy food will be your good base to do that.
Isaa looked at her confused.''You are not coming?''
She shook her head and explained. ''Since I have this sphere my gathering and absorption are quite strong. If I go out with you I might gather it all as I can't stop the intake of it. It's better you do that and I will do something I planned for a while. I want to make clouds thick enough so no one could look through it. But to make it seethrough so we can see everything we want. I need to concentrate on that.''
Isaa taught about the cloud they left inside well and felt sorry for it.''What about Cutie?''
Kendra knew who is hse talking about. The strange thing that cloud acted as if it was pet and followed them.''Cutie will stay there and tonight we will bring her to our parents as a present. Don't you think that will be an amazing gift for them? Pet cloud named Cutie.''
Isaa chuckled. She knew Xara liked all cute stuff and if this is present form them she will flip and try using it all the time. ''Poor father. I think mother will try abusing Cutie for traveling around.''
Kendra taught about that problem and smiled.''No problem. We can change Cutie's basic instinct and it can only fly inside the Caledon Hills borders. Like that she will play with it for a while and then stop. They can use it as well if they want to go somewhere fast. Hmmm, maybe I can make it go slow and high speed. Cutieeee, come here I know you can come out by yourself.'' she called.
Cutie the cloud went through cracks of the door and appeared outside just moments later. She floated around Isaa and Kendra and tried to snuggle with both of them. Kendra patted the cloud and explained what she wanted. She concentrated and added ten big compressed wisps of power inside her and the cloud suddenly lifted up and flew around like a crazy whirlwind.
Isaa and Kendra saw her playing by herself and sighed.''I didn't know that such a thing can become intelligent. This will be a great present for my parents. I let the imprint not to leave the Caledon Hills except in the greatest danger. Just in case someone tries to harm our parents. ''
Isaa nodded.''What a great idea. Parents will be happy about this gift.''
Cutie the cloud flew down and shortly before Kendra and Isaa it stopped and got closer as if it wanted attention. Fluffy and Lilly were flabbergasted.''This...''
Kendra saw their weird expression and taught something is wrong.''What? Did I hurt Cutie or it was not enough energy?''
They looked at her like she was crazy and shook their heads in desperation.''If we knew this was possible to make, do you think we would walk around? Intelligent on top of it!'' Fluffy puffed his fell and felt devastated. But Lilly hit his head. ''Do you think everyone can do it? Kendra has genuine essence of life inside her.''
Kendra looked at her and remembered about that. Oh, that means if she makes something essence of life will give birth to the intelligent creature. ''So, I practically can make intelligent stuff? How can I stop putting essence inside the power I have? I don't want later on to make a strange thing that could harm surroundings.''
Lilly nodded. ''You realized on time at least. Try to compress the essence of life and just put it aside. If you need it or want to save someone you can use it then.''
Kendra went inside and sat on the floor. She concentrated at her power sphere and saw many different lights shining from inside the sphere. She concentrated deeper and saw rainbow colored wisps floating around her space without any order. She started gathering them on one spot and compressing over and over again.
After the last wisp of life was fused inside the little ball of changing lights he let it fly around the sphere like a moon around the earth. She opened eyes and happily smiled at Fluffy and Lilly. Isaa already stood outside and gathered the wisps of water around herself.
The rain lasted for hours but Isaa still stood outside. She learned the new spell and surrounded herself with power shield like Kendra did so she didn't feel either coldness or was getting any rain on herself.
Kendra could see now all the wisps of power surrounding them. Since she changed and went to the tenth boundary she could see and feel more if she concentrates. She saw slowly blue water wisps floating slowly but steady as a river towards Isaa. She closed eyes and looked at Lilly and Fluffy. She picked them up and cuddled them while she waited for Isaa. The night started falling when Isaa opened eyes and turned to Kendra.
Kendra stood up, put Fluffy and Lily into space and picked up Isaa in her arms.''Let's go to visit our parents. They probably are waiting for us to go there and we can give them this present.''
She patted Cutie that waited for the whole time while playing around the trees in the garden.
It behaved like a 3-4-year-old playful child. Maybe this is for best.
Cutie the cloud floated down and they went on it. It slowly floated up high enough for them to see the whole castle under them and Kendra ordered.''To the castle. Not to fast.''
Cutie the cloud sped up and they were in no time in front of palace doors. She slowed down and let them come down. Kendra turned around under stunned eyes of soldiers and servants and patted the cloud. ''Well done. Later I will give you one more power wisp. Look around here. This is your new home. Later when I call you, you will meet my parents and I want you to help them anytime they need you. By the way, my mom is cuddly person so I will turn you into something smaller. Do you want?''
Cloud couldn't of course speak so it flipped few times and went to Kendra to cuddle with her. She patted it and went in as the cloud went and playfully bounced around scaring everyone. Whoever heard of cloud going down and acting like a playful ball of cotton.
Kendra saw the commander and explained him everything, then left him behind with mouth open agape as he tried to comprehend her words. What? Cloud? Wait, what?
He turned around and looked at the back of two children that held their hands. The world is getting crazier by the day. He suddenly felt he needed to become stronger and make the power in soldiers to raise as well.
Later he put that in action. If soldiers knew that she was the one that gave him the idea, who knows what they would feel about her. It was hell...
