Kendra flew towards the fire maintains passing the roaring volcano range. The sounds of fire-spewing mountains, the smell of burnt ground and hot stones as well.
But the strange thing was the silence that prevailed inside the group. The dark expression on her face was enough to let her be. Her words from before made them realize the huge problem.
"Kendra, how did you find out about their involvement? I know so much but I could have never even imagined that they had a way to pass the outer barrier.'' Tassio was somehow uneasy.
''The outer barrier broke as it seems centuries ago. The war that started here was just to hide their intentions. To take away the focus off the other continents. It's a fact that they earn so much while everyone fought. So calling holly points, then pure essence of the continental plateaus. Have you never wondered how comes there is so many strange happening, especially in recent years.'' Kendra's clear voice somehow resounded and could be clearly heard even by such noise under their feet.
''What are you talking about?'' Miro Falis was one of the oldest demons still living on the continent.
''Didn't you realize all those creatures that could live ONLY in the forbidden forest suddenly were all over the place. Only beasts from Forbidden Forest could actually become spiritual and grow up with powers as there is huge power abundancy in there. But, suddenly so many were found all over the place when we traveled. Then all those creatures that were found on other continents and the experiments that turned those poor children into monsters. That all happened as the barrier broke and they could just leave and spread. Not only that, they always appeared near some special objects or places with strong spiritual power.''
''But what caused the barrier to brake? Does that mean we are all in danger?'' Lais had really some bad feeling about everything.
''They ground the continents bit by bit to find special power veins and extract them for their own good so they could raise their powers. After reading the books in father's library and all the reports from the secret library then the reports that the Tribe wrote... The dots connected and in my head, something clicked. Today seeing those people leisurely disappearing out of our world means that there is nothing that can protect this world anymore. I need to find those resources to help this place survive. Actually...''
She stopped and motioned them to come near and then rose thick shield around them. Her eyes looked determined. It was time to tell them about her plan. These people needed to know, the truth, the real truth.
She waved her hand and they appeared in her space. Lais looked around and could recognize only the couple of small cabins on the shore of the sea. Yes, huge, enormous sea.
This was no more the space she started with. It was already the world for itself. She made it so large that even after tens of thousands of years people wouldn't be able to explore it all. She just needed only one more thing, They Eye of the Sun.
''What is this? Kendra?'' Lais turned her eyes and stared at an unfamiliar environment.
''This will be the new world ready to invite all beings on this plane to live inside. I made many new rules for this plane. I plan to make it so strong that no other being will be able to bother you. And if you become strong enough and want to live in the other plane I will let you out. I found a way for everyone to live peacefully together. I need only the Eye of the Sun to make one last finishing touch.''
'' What will you do then?'' Somehow Hela had already guessed her next words.
''I will seek to become stronger and be Goddess so I can protect you all from harm. This plane I made no one will be able to touch it. And just in case I get destroyed everyone would automatically be pushed out space and would live on the plane that I was on. I don't think those gods would like that hehehhehe.''
Everyone laughed. ''They would try to prevent your disappearance for the sake of peace in their world. So I am not worried, you shouldn't be as well. I am here to prepare for great saving action. But elders...''' She paused for a moment as she felt a bit uncomfortable. ''I would like to ask you all for a huge favor.''
''Say it, Kendra.'' Everyone agreed that no matter what it is they will do it.
''I need three things from you. Number one I want you set up those praying points, temples or whatever. It seems the holy points will help me raise to the holly and goddess level. So I hope you could do it. But I want to be something that can be used the only willingly. I think the praying has to be real to get real holy powers.''
''That is easy. What is next?'' Lais was already giddy.
''Second is to make rulers of the world. The rulers have to change every two years and there should be competitions. The third you can make multiple schools and let everyone enter whoever wants.'' Kendra was strict about that point, everyone needs a chance.
"That all is possible. What will you do about continent grinding?" Tassio knew why she was about to send all living things here.
"I plan to transfer the whole continent as it is here and the other continent people will be sent on one of the continents I prepared. Before entering my space I will do something that might scare you all." Kendra nervously started pacing.
She stopped suddenly and looked at them, but they were calm.
"Will become a mass murderer. I plan to save all those that are worth and the rest I will leave on the remaining continent to their own fate. After I bring this continent here, my plan is to steal all the power veins, precious stone veins, spirit springs and similar, and including it on new continents. Maybe after those people realize that there is nothing to gain, they will stop and the last continent could survive."
But I definitely can't bring them to my space.
They knew what she was thinking and just accepted the fact.
"Will you separate space between different kinds of species?" Tassio wondered.
"No. I realized that all beings can live together, in case of a sudden drop in life I will notice and stop the wars. Anyway, the world ruler job will be any way to find ways to rule the world. I will sometimes come by, but indeed I will try not to meddle too much."
Her face became bright as the shield disappeared and bare lands and humongous volcano crater was shown in front of their eyes. "We are here, right?"
Hela nodded. "Yes , we are here. Come let me introduce you to other clans elders, they are waiting for you."
Lais suddenly grabbed Kendra's hand. "Can we talk for a bit?"
Everyone went down, letting them two alone.
"Kendra, what is going on with you and Marcus?" She could feel fluctuations around Kendra when she saw him with other women.
Kendra just stood on her clod and stared at the lava that slowly bubbled inside.
"I felt like a volcano before activation. Inside me bubbled some strange fire and gas and my heart had felt as it could burst at that time. I am maybe young, but I know that is jealousy." A sigh came out her parted lips.
"You like him?" But she saw Kendra's expression and felt sorry for this child.
Kendra just stared at the volcano and small tear made a path down her face. Her little hand just wished it off and a painful smile appeared on her face.
"It felt hurt when I saw him with those women. But that was not the reason for the real pain. Him not realizing what mess his sister made and those in his world and just accepting it and giving excuses... That was what hit me the most. He forgot the empathy..." She gave a chuckle and started descending. "It is good I knew his heart on time. Or it would be even more bothersome and painful in the future. Don't you think?"
Lais just grunted and flew by her side. "He is not worthy of you losing another thought of him. Later..."
"Later you won't do anything. If I keep in contact with such a person wouldn't I slap my own face and trample on everything I believe in?"
She flashed a smile at Lais leaving her speechless.
Why would I bother and waste my precious time and thoughts on someone who is not worthy...
