Chapter 106 - 106. Can stupidity be curable?

The horses neared swiftly and the group of people arrived in front of the children in a short matter of time. One of the people saw a young boy soaked wet standing there with an indifferent expression. It was quite strange.

The one that could use water powers came closer and was about to send water ball at the boy again but a hand suddenly held him. "Didn't you realize? These are not common children."

The power user swung his hand and got ready to send the water ball again. But then he suddenly saw all the water on the boy was gone and not only that, he could feel powers from two people behind the child.

Tassio and Marcus showed just partial powers and even the tiny parts of it were good enough to scare the power user. Kendra looked at the two people and shook her head. She actually wanted to see what is the real situation but now she just has to go with the flow.

The man that stopped the power user came in front of Marcus and bowed slightly as he ignored the rest of them. Kendra felt this is better and stood shyly behind Marcus while her eyes glinted with mischief.

Tassio shook his head and dried her with a wave if his hand. He truly felt that these people got bad day while looking at the slight smile on her face. Lais nudged him and stared at Kendra's smiling face.

Lord Cassian warned them before leaving when Kendra was not around. If they see Kendra smiling, but not from the heart just smiling...something bad will happen. These people seem to be really unlucky. They did one of the things she really hates... making her dirty. He prayed silently for their souls if she let them have.

Marcus didn't know what Tassio was thinking but he could see Isaa's expression as she saw Kendra's face. She looked at the people in pity. He glanced at Kendra and saw dangerous glistening in her eyes.

His heart trembled as he saw boys face up close. He shook his head at his own reaction. He heard that there are people that liked same s.e.x but he never considered to be one as well. But as his heart reacted only by looking at Kendra's face from close proximity, he seriously thought about reconsidering that option as well.

He turned his head and smiled brightly at the man in front of him. His smile was at the same time attractive and dangerous. The horse with his natural affinity for danger started going back in fear. He could literally smell danger from this man, but it suddenly calmed. The man on the horse was about to sigh in relief but the horse suddenly stood up and kicked him off.

The man thuds his behind on ground with a huge thud and a big cloud of dust rose around him while he looked surprised at the horse. He rose from the ground and took a big knife from his side and wanted to kill the horse but suddenly he lost his ground and sat down again but this time on some stones that hurt his...

He yelled in pain and suddenly saw pair if straw shoes in front of him. Isaa looked curiously at his pained face and with a swing of her foot, she knocked him so hard that he rolled for tens if meters and stopped by one tree unconscious.

The people looked at the small girl that hopped back towards a boy that was wet just while ago and held his hand. The young man in front of boy stepped in from of him to hide him from their stare. But the white-haired boy sneaked look at them and gave them big but cold smile.

Their heart trembled even if this child's smile was captivating at the same time they could feel ill intentions seeping out of his cold eyes. Kendra pushed Marcus aside and chuckled like some evil spirits took over her body. Suddenly horses started kicking of their owners and running to the nearby woods. The men were sitting confused on the floor and looked at the dust that rose as their horses escaped. Suddenly the earth started trembling and cracks appeared. One of the men fainted from fright and others just sat there not knowing how to react.

Kendra looked at them coldly. "I am just a child. Instead, to make sure that I am safe and protect me, you choose to attack me. Lucky for you that you choose only to tease me and not really tried to kill me. But still, shame on you. "

She spoke in a slow and steady tone. Isaa went to her side and held her hand. " You are all mean people. If we were someone else that had big powers, you would be dead instead of just sitting there."

One of the young man stood up and got closer to the Twp children

Marcus narrowed his eyes but saw Kendra motion not to do anything. He sighed and stepped back and looked at the people that slowly stood up from the ground.

The young man saw Marcus relaxed face and signed in relief. They all still thought that only the boys in the group were power holders. And Kendra let them in belief.

The young man stopped in front of her and bowed. "I am sorry. We wanted to have fun but really didn't plan to hurt or harm you in any way."

Kendra snorted. "So, teasing powerless children is fun? And you all are grown up people. Not even children. If you are bored so much, why don't you use your powers to do something that could help people in the surrounding?"

He looked at her questioningly. Kendra sighed. Tassio came forward and explained to him how to use the water powers to make rain or calm waters. Kendra listened to his explanations and nodded. It seems Tassio listened well when she explained while ago.

Others came forward and silently listened to Tassio's explanations. Unfortunately, only one of them was a power user. He came forward and asked questions with shiny eyes. So far he was the only one in town with powers. But the problem is that no one could explain to him how to use his powers or how to grow them.

Tassio sighed and took out the Eye. It floated slowly on one place as the men stepped back as they didn't know what that is. "This is the Eye. And my name is Tassio. I am sent from Caledon Valley to find people with powers and send them there. We will need to end your help to check the whole city and see are there any other people with powers."

They looked at the group of children and shivered. Does that mean that all of them have powers? They saw the two girls and a boy seemed to be just normal children and only the two young man were power users. But its enough to frighten them.

The young man with powers nodded. "My name is Lokk. My family is holding city heads position. I would like to invite you all to my home. "

But Marcus knew that Kendra didn't Luke the idea so he shook his head. "We plan to survey the city and its surroundings. Go home and get us the permit."

He waved his hand and the horse came forest. Marcus patted his head. "After you come back, I will set you free. Or you can come with us. " Then he turned his golden eyes at Lokk. "This horse is free. You go get a permit, if something happens to him, don't come back and fear me. Because I will find you and I will make you pay."

Lokk nodded his head, jumped at his horse and run as his life was on brink of extermination. He could feel that these two people are powerful and dangerous. Maybe its good to just do what they say.

Marcus looked at the crowd with cold eyes but Tassio pulled him back and stood in front of the Eye. "I will scan you all for powers. There is always a chance that you might be a power holder but not knowing it. If you are one, you will be given permission to enter the Caledon Valley and will be able to attend the school."

Then he explained everything to them while Marcus stood behind him hiding Kendra from their eyes. Somehow he felt that few of those people had a strange look. He narrowed his eyes and stared at them but they completely ignored him.

One man came forward and looked closer at Kendra. ''I know its strange question, but do you have other family members?"

Kendra shook her head. "I was adopted by a family. I don't know my background. Do you know someone that looks similar to me?"

They looked at each other and nodded. "We know an old woman who looks similar to you, but is she related to you, we don't know."

Marcus sighed in relief. At least they are no danger for Kendra. But what is her background actually? Even tho he is around them last few days, but they seemed to hide many things from him. It seems it will take time for this small person to trust him enough.

Suddenly one of man in background snickered. "If this child is really really related to that woman, she will have much fun. That old lady is crazy. Hahaha."

A fly floated in front of his face and went into his mouth. He started coughing. Isaa shook her head and pointed at him. "Bad man. If that old woman is related to us that she is our family. How do you dare to laugh about her? Ph. First attacking children then laughing about the elderly. You really have bad behavior and bad mind. Maybe I should teach you."

Kendra patted her head. She actually planned to kill them all but seeing that not all of them seemed to be bad she gave up the idea, but punishment she will give them. Later. Now she needs to find that person that is similar to her. So she will let them go, for now.

They wanted to say something but the Eye started going around from one to other man. But nothing happened. Not even one if the people had powers. Tassio shook his head and turned to go back summoning the Eye back to his bag.

Looking at their expectant expressions he shook his head once more. "Sorry, but none of you has powers. "

They looked disappointed. Kendra shrugged and turned to leave. Isaa still held her hand and Lais was from her other side. Tassio and Marcus were behind leaving a stunned group of people right there.

The men looked at each other and followed them. Some tried to start a conversation with Tassio or Marcus but they just ignored their motions and continued to walk.

The man that swallowed the fly had a vicious glint in his eyes as he walked behind them. He couldn't stop himself and asked the most stupid question in the given situation.

"Why do you protect those children? If you are smart you could have quite fun with them..." He wanted to say more but earth cracked open and swallowed him to his neck.

Marcus shook his head as he continued walking behind Kendra and Tassio stopped for second looking at the men behind them. "We never said you have to follow us. But if you do, be careful of making such or similar remarks. Clear?"

He turned around and left while some of the people tried to dig out the big mouth. Marcus waved his hand and bunch ants appeared and attacked him. While his screams could be heard far, the group of children continued their way towards next settlement... the Cou City...
