Chapter 171 - 171. The truth unfolds

Kendra stopped in front of bunch children that laughed happily. 

"What is this situation?" Lais was truly baffled.

Like herd keepers. Pushing the cattle in a certain direction. Interesting...

Small fireball floated in front of her face as one of the children stood in front of her angry.

"Run... Why don't you run? Maybe bigger fireball?" He used his power to enlarge the ball that floated in front of these people but the just stared at him.

One of the older children felt suddenly the situation was off so he released a sudden cry that echoed over the heads of the people.

The group of people still stood there staring at them calmly, not moving an inch. 

Lais smiled at the little girl in her hands and let her down. "Go now, join your friends. It time you do, hm?"

The little girl just sighed and one of the boys just took her by the hand and pushed her behind him.

A voice came from their side" How did you know?"

Lais smiled. "It was so obvious. Power child, that appeared so suddenly and just pushed itself to be by the front carriage? She is small but not malnourished. Let me see, looking at her she probably has some wind power."

Everyone was calm in this group. So calm that children felt fear and started stirring. 

Kendra looked at the young man that appeared and just shrugged. Them she turned her head to the opposite side and held Ling blade that pointed towards her heart with two fingers.

Lais shook for a moment. Everyone saw how fast her movement was.

The blade was still between her fingers and it suddenly disappeared making the person that wanted to stab her stupified.

"That was a true sword from pure nature ore. How can you hold it like that? It is impossible. You...who are you?'' The middleaged man stuttered.

''Old man, I am not a person. Long-time ago I was once a normal human. But as situations pushed me to change me, to change my nature I changed as well. Now I am going slowly to the pinnacle of true exsistence. Now go and warn them that Kaia the Goddes of Nature powers will soon arrive and change many things. For them to dare to touch my people, it seems they are seeking death. And death they shall get, soon. Now go...'' Her eyes turned red and he just stepped back and disappeared.

More people appeared suddenly showing confused expression. 

''If the elder is gone, who will lead us? '' The old woman sighed.

Tassio glanced at Kendra that had one of those smiles on her face and his back suddenly felt cold. Lais just took his hand and gave him a light smile. ''What are you scared off. Kaia is our friend. She will punish only those that need to be punished, or did you do something wrong?''

''You...'' He felt vexed about this girl's tongue and wanted to rip it off but then other thoughts started appearing in his head and his face heated up. Suddenly pain woke him up from his naughty daydreams.

''Seriously? In this situation you... Whoa, are you some kind of pervert?'' Lais could literally feel his head coming up and was stunned by her own reaction. From one moment to the other she wanted to be alone with him and rip his clothes off. But the time and place were so wrong...

''Wait, I don't understand anything. You are a girl? Not a boy?'' Marcus stood behind them with a frown on his face.

Lais chuckled. ''Everyone says I am the biggest pervert, but the two of you seem to be even bigger. Marcus, it seems you like small boys. Is it really so bad that she is not?'' 

The way he looked at Kendra was mix of disbelief and look of betrayed husband. She turned her head off him and just snorted.

''You are now free to leave. Go back to your lands and tell them that the stirring is making me angry. That means soon I will rise like a phoenix from ashes and will burn whole firmament. They dare to destroy whole continents to be able to use the materials for their own uses... Making me angry is a really bad idea, Marcus. You go. From now on we are no more friends.'' With a wave of hand groups of people on the side started burning and after they disappeared she turned to children.

''You all tasted human flesh so I can't let you have the powers anymore. From now on I will turn you into simple humans. I will send you to one place where you can live calm life and eat just vegetarian for the rest of your life. Like that you will atone for your atrocity. After you die I will see what soul has cleared mind and will give you chance of reincarnation. Those that didn't and still have bad mind, will disappear and will never live again.'' 

Her calm voice dropped over the children like a bomb. Suddenly a light flashed over them and they all disappeared somewhere leaving Marcus with a frown.

She turned herself towards him and calmly looked at his eyes. ''Marcus, I learned few things from you, so I am grateful for that time. But you are reason why these people suffered so much. The reason these humans appeared was your family, right?'' 

Her line of thoughts was right. ''I, actually is my sister. She wanted to make them stronger so they could transfer to our plateau and survive the continent's obligation. But was stuck here as she lost her powers somehow. When I found her she was almost dead. I... am sorry for your people. Kendra, later when you come up, don't fight those people. They are too powerful. Even I am sometimes fearful of some of them. You...''

''Stop preaching. I am not interested. You could have stopped things like this to progress, but you still let it happen. These years we didn't see each other did you think about the dying races or about your sister? You felt sorry about your sister dying but it was fine if millions of creatures were exterminated only to make that woman happy?'' Her cold words splashed over his body.

''My sister is still young and foolish...'' He wanted to protect her.

''She is at least ten if not even twenty times older than I am. Even if I lived one more life she is still older, but acting like small child and playing with the lives of living beings like toys? Making them stronger? Is that the excuse she gave to you? She made them into monsters that eat their own kind to be able to survive. Their bodies changed and they had to live eating other people of own kind. Not only that. As someone from the next plateau, she probably had more knowledge. If she just thought them how to enhance their powers, many of them could have cleanly passed the big test and would have been powerful enough to go with her. So you giving her such an excuse. Ha. Don't make me laugh.''

Every word she said was already in his heart. It was only his love for his sister that made him close the truth deep inside. But now Kendra was pulling it out and splashing it directly on his face. 

''You protecting your sister, I acknowledge it. But letting her do as she wants is not a way real sibling should act. If you KNEW she did wrong and didn't stop her, then you are a failure as older sibling. her wrongs are your wrongs as well. Marcus, for a few moments I even had a tiny bit feeling for you. But after today even that tiny feeling disappeared into nothingness like those people souls. It will never come back. Now go and don't come back to this place again.'' 

She looked at the young woman that stood there and shook while looking at Marcus pitifully. Kendra just chuckled and stepped on the cloud that appeared in front of her.

Everyone steppe on their clouds under the stunned eyes of the two people and in the blink of an eye disappeared.

''Brother, these powers...'' The young woman pulled sem of his clothes.

''Martha, it seems you earned yourself death enemy. This child is known to hold grudges. Let's go home. You will be safer there.'' He wanted to pull her hand but she just hissed at him.

''I don't want. I am bored at home. This place is fun to play. Brother let me here just a few tens of year more. Just a tiny bit longer.'' She stared at him bit pleading eyes like a playful child but all she earned was ice-cold stare.

''I will have to report everything to elders of our clan. You messed with the wrong person this time. The only way for you to survive her rage is to become even stronger. In your current state, she can squash you like an ant.'' He tried to explain to her.

''But you can protect me. '' She stubbornly stomped her feet making Marcus understand why Kendra pointed at her attitude

He shook his head. ''At this moment. She can just walk through the test and even walk trough our planes test until pinnacle. That is how strong she is. Even if all clans chose to fight her we might not be able to even hurt her. For her to step on the path of holiness it seems determined. You should never make one of the grounding fairies angry. Did you forget that?''

''How can grounding fairy appear here. They appear only on the holly ground. And most of the grounding fairies disappeared from our world. Brother if she is what you say, we need to destroy her. Definitely. Let's go back and tell everyone.'' But sudden slap made her stunned.

''Tell who? Do you want the ground elders to exterminate our clan? Do you even know how dangerous that clan is? If they find out that we moved against grounding fairy only dust will be left of everyone in our clan. Now move. I don't want to hear one more word. You will be grounded in the cultivation room for at least hundreds of years. Only that way she won't bother our clan as she passed through our plane. Move now!!!'' He grabbed her arm roughly and disappeared.

The leaves on nearby tree waved in a slight wind while two eyes with different colors opened and a smile appeared on enchanting face. ''Interesting grounding fairy is here. This place is now not any more so boring. I wanted to clean this mess but that girl just did it all by herself. Let's see what are her next ideas... hehehehehe... truly interesting.''

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared and was about to follow her trail but realized that she didn't walk. He chuckled. ''Never mind. I need to report to ground elders anyway. They will keep them busy for a while, while I clean some mess on the firmament. When she comes hse needs the place to stay. Hmmm should I just kill all those fairies or should I make new place just for her? Kaia... the Goddess of Nature powers. I like it. Very much. Kaia, I will wait for you. Hehhehehehe...''

As he disappeared Kendra turned her eyes back and shook her head. ''Even those with powers think that I am some kind of toy or what? It seems I really need to teach them one lesson. Kendra from the past died and Kaia was born. I will burn them all into nothingness if they continue playing like this. Morons.''

Tassio and Lais just patted her and started joking around to make her feel a bit better and after a short time, her real smile appeared on her lips.

Even if I become Goddes I will not become a monster I am now sure in that. 

Her friends and family knew her true heart. And loved her just the way she is. This gave her even more faith in herself. ''I need to become someone even stronger. Someone even those on firmament fear in advance. I must.'' 

As red light of far volcano shone on her face she held her smile and joked with Lais while their future will unfold more and more...
