Chapter 197 - 197. Making safe heaven?

When Kendra woke up and went out everyone greeted her with smile and ignoring her puffy eyes. She searched among all of them for a certain person and as soon she found her she started running.

Isaa saw her running towards her and opened arms and with a laugh, the two of them hugged each other tightly making even guys hide their faces as even their eyes became bit reddish.

They realized after a long talk with Isaa that Kendra had a really hard time being alone. Of course, they knew how was it to be alone, but in their eyes, Kendra was just a small child and felt probably even more lonely.

Looking at their happy expression as they held each other they started thinking about own families back home. They knew that most of them probably already perished or died a long time ago as they cultivated for a long time, but remembering their childhood and family love they felt heavy as well.

Kendra turned her shiny eyes towards everyone and realized that almost everyone is already here. At firsts he was stunned then she looked at Isaa questioningly. ''What happened?''

Isaa pointed at her head and chuckled, ''You did...''

Everyone looked at Kendra and saw her for the first time looking like real child as he had questions all over her face. Literally had no idea what is going on. Isaa started laughing and everyone joined in while Kendra scratched her head in confusion. ''When did I?''

Did she do something strange when she slept? She blinked again in confusion making everyone laugh and just shrugged.  Her face became happy as a shiny smile appeared on her face almost blinding everyone.

Isaa sighed. I will lt her smile this time, but her smile is indeed too captivating. To bad...

Everyone felt suddenly warm in their hearts as they looked at her happy smile. Somehow her smile gave them comfort, hope and happiness. Maybe that is it what they really need? To make this child happy?

So in their hearts new feelings. Must protect her. Making one man later getting quite annoyed as he could get close enough to her.

No matter what, with the majority of her sect participants the building became easier and faster. Luckily they all had new ideas and the way they used the powers made it easier to build houses faster. When the first snow came they had enough space for eevryone.

The houses were connected with covered paths made of trees. With multiple natural powers and many innovative ideas, they made the village with a strange look. In mid of Village was a large building that was meant for them to gather together.

The houses that surrounded the main building had a similar look. Main room with two side rooms. But each house looked like the one from the different worlds. One more thing was made. Large bath place as they found warm stream under the earth as they wanted to make one of the houses. Kendra had an idea to use that warm stream as their bathing place so everyone agreed.

Strange thing is that they got used to eating together in the main building even tho they could cook in their own houses. As they drunk the tea and stared at the snow floating down they laughed as their storages were filled with all kinds of vegetables and most important thing Kendra found. Those strange mushrooms.

They had tasted that day mushroom that tasted like meat. Literally. Since then, they felt even fish meat kind of strange tasting. So all of them stopped catching fish and just started eating stuff they invented.

Even boys started inventing new tastes as they cooked together. Every day another group of people would cook something new and with smiles, everyone just awaited more people to join in. But in the same time every night, they would make plans for the coming day.

They found in another hill huge amounts of strange metal. So those that had metal and fire ability worked hard to take it out with help with the help of earth users. They planned to make weapons from those metals.

Kai had the idea to make huge traps around their place as they realized that they actually had their village almost on top of hill. So they made plans about traps and walls. Isaa thought about something for a long time and gave them an idea as well to use nature power to build a natural tree and plant wall.

If they grow strong tall trees like in that dark forest surrounding their village they could be protected for a while. They started replanting the seedlings of trees around the subterranean of their hill. They were actually lucky. Their hill was quite tall actually. One of the tallest in the surroundings.

They planted fervently even when the rain was pouring on their bodies and even hen firsts now started falling. But then they stopped as the first line of the trees could be seen surrounding their hill. With Kendra's instructions, they made trees growing fast and as the last seedlings were planted they could see that first trees were already tall.

Kendra and a group of nature powers added few more plants between the trees. Kendra knew that the wild roses had many needles so when they planted the seedlings fo wild roses between trees the bushes grew thick and made the first line of the trees look even scarier and darker. But what they did then was even scarier.

The earth users split the earth deeply and took out the stones and earth and made tens of meters deep chasms in the same brightness. They covered it with lianas and other plants so if someone tries to approach this place he had to be quite stupid.

In front of those trees, they planted poison ivy so only if someone had real intention to enter this place he would go through such rough terrain. After that, they planned to plant more trees making it even harder to pass.

Haru had a strange idea and told them all. They could plant the trees and intertwine their base from start on. Making it into the natural wall. But here comes the strangest thing. Kendra had an idea to that with two trees and roses and something strange happened. The trees assimilated rose and started growing large thorns on their bodies.

Seeing that everyone worked harder to rearrange the seedlings and so when the snow already covered the village all white they stopped a long time ago to plant. They felt safe for now. Sirius one day had an idea to use the warm water to heat their houses so the new installation made them busy.

Every day someone had a new idea about something. Many people used their free time to make many new things. Pretty chairs and beds. New tables and pretty doors. Using cloth some made new pillows and beddings so everyone on end had same beddings.

But they didn't feel it awkward. They actually somehow started preferring their new clothes. Simple pants and a tunic-like shirt with long sleeves. Strangely even in winter weather, it gave them enough warmth that they didn't even need any other covering.

Kendra realized how precious these seeds are so she gathered many and stored it in her box. Later she planned to make it a rare commodity that people sought over. If she put it out freely wouldn't it be boring? She wanted to make cultivators work hard to get clothes made from such a plant.

She had new ideas about the future. She felt that this world could be perfect for the idea the grounding fairy had. Unfortunately, she entered as well, making it even weirder.

When the last of their group appeared in mid of their main building together with Taskmaster everyone cheered and started greeting happily the confused man.

Under so much laughter Taskmaster looked at Kendra's direction and saw her face getting stiff. He sighed and nodded at her. Her reassuring smile made her feel a bit easier. It seems her worries were not needed. She gave him a small smile making him feel a bit warmer as well.

It seems her real powers really are that way. He happily bowed to everyone and disappeared under Isaa's stunned eyes. She looked at Kendra's smiling face and chuckled. Finally, Kendra let go of her fear.

Kendra took her by hand and pointed at the table cutely. Isaa sighed. Did she learn all those things from her when she was smaller? Was she this way when she was little really?

She picked up Kendra and put her on one of the chairs and clapped her hands to get their attention. When they looked at her she smiled and pointed at Kendra. ''She has something to say so please sit down. Ola you as well. Later we will give you your clothes. It seems its time you all know the real reason we are in this world...''
