Isaa woke up two days later without even having any pain. She looked at the empty chair and sighed deeply. The words that Taskmaster told her were quite mysterious. Why did it happen to her and what does he mean by all this?
The door opened and two bright eyes looked at her. ''OOhhh sleepyhead is awake. Come, I am sure you can walk by yourself or do you plan to...''
But words in Kendra's mouth stopped as Isaa rushed passed her to the lavatory. She chuckled. Of course, she didn't do any business all this time. They checked on her and as it seems she unconsciously held everything in. But now as she is awake, she probably felt like her body will burst at any moment.
After a while, Isaa came out with a red face and looked at Kendra that just blinked at her. ''Girl, do not tell me you feel ashamed about that? Did you poop a bit inside your pants as you rushed there?''
Isaa's face justs treated becoming normal as it became bright red again after Kendra's teasing. ''I have not! Kendra you little imp. Stop teasing me. I am bigger than you.''
Kendra shrugged. ''So what, I am older.'' She looked at Isaa's red face and made funny faces at her making Isaa laugh.
Kendra came to her and smiled. ''When I come out I plan to cultivate for couple years in my space. Wanna come? I want to see mother and father as well.''
Isaa's face became sad as well. ''I miss them as well. Even tho we are not related to them but their care is so imprinted in my heart that I miss them the whole time. I had an idea. When we get out of here I could sleep at home and just go to classes. There is so much to learn about the fifth world, Kendra.''
Kendra nodded. ''Actually, I planned to join classes as well. I need to learn about this and other world and then I plan to meet as many other worlds as I can. But at least one per level.''
Isaa was stunned and happy. ''I think that is an amazing idea. You always wanted to travel and see the world. Now you have chance to do so. We can be with parents and at the same time enjoy our trips to other worlds.''
Kendra nodded as she walked. ''We can use that time to join other world schools and learn more about the respective world, people and creatures. It seems all worlds are similar but at the same time not really. If we could understand it a bit better...''
While they walked and talked about it Kimi heard them and joined their conversation. They entered the main room where only about a dozen people were and as they spoke about the idea Kendra had. They all offered her to enter their world. They could act as the help between them and the world buts he shook her head.
''I will do it the other way. You can tell me about the world I enter, its laws and traditions. Like that, I will not disturb too much of the natural environment. You can tell me bit by bit about it. You know if you join me it will be just the world from your line of sight and I won't be able to experience it completely.''
Isaa smiled at everyone. ''Kendra will first learn about some things in school. And after all, we are cultivators, we have time if nothing else. So no need to rush. But you can tell us stories about your worlds. We can look for similarities and differences. Right?''
Everyone had so many things to say about their worlds. Many of them live already a couple of centuries in the current world so they just remembered a few things. The winter days passed slowly but were not boring.
During the daytime they would or play in snow or play games in the main room. The games they remembered in their childhood were similar but with different rules, so many arguments and laughter would arouse from that. Not only that.
Some of them started giving classes to those that didn't know things. Like Kendra. After she heard many things about cultivation she realized why Isaa was set on attending classes even tho she could have just cultivated.
Here they couldn't cultivate but they could renew their energies. Even tho it was wintertime they still thought about ways to protect themselves. Some started making strange weapons but Kendra overruled those ideas. She wanted to protect herself but she still had no plan to kill any of them.
Few of them then chose to make traps. If they really come to the foreset they made, then even if they died it wouldn't be their fault, right? Actually during the winter time they could see streaks of smoke near the tall mountain and they knew that some of those people probably lived there or made a village as they did.
They choose to have big meetings after they found about the settling nearby and they choose to make safe path between trees just in case they want to go visit the others or if someone needed help. But that would be rather impossible. Most of the guilds had hundreds and some even a thousand cultivators that joined in. Looking by far their group was literally the smallest.
They thought about it as well. They actually had nothing to trade with others. Neither precious stones, metal or anything else. Kendra and isaa thought about trading food but on end gave up the idea. Their produce might be just a smaller amount and it is actually just enough, for now, just for them.
So as soon the days became longer and snow started melting they started preparing as well. Doing the long wintertime they made many pretty things. Some were playing games, some were busy with artworks and some were teaching or learning. So the winter seemed quite short for them. But as the spring came something big happened as well...
