Chapter 203 - 203.The sacred blood?

The days after that became a little stressful for everyone. They hoped to be able to do many things but when they realized they can go only up to the first boundary they gave up trying to cultivate.

After the first rush of happiness ebbed a bit they started preparing everything for their planting.

This time they used their powers to use part of the field as their garden. Kendra actually just explained to them what they could do. The rest they did themselves. As they all got enough seeds and powers the work was not too much.

Every morning they would gather their energy and then cultivate a bit.

One day Kendra came out and smiled at them as everyone sat their cultivating. She looked around and saw Sirius watching out Anitas every movement like a worried hen over small chicks. Well that was not wrong anyway, right?

The peaceful gathering of them all suddenly was broken by a strange noise. Like something was in pain. The sky darkened as suddenly the weather changed. Everyone got scared. ''What happened?''

Kendra rose her hands and called Isaa. ''It seems we need to get ready for some world changes. I have an assumption, but I am not sure completely. Help me with a protection shield. Even if it can't protect us completely at least we won't die.''

Isa heard her and jumped up sending her energy into the sky. Everyone learned that spell from Isa and started gathering their powers and sending wisps of power into a thin layer of the newly erected shield.

They could see Isaa's face turning pale as she saw something dripping from the sky. Just now they realized that strangeness was not as simple as they thought. But Isaa had no time to think about what happened. She just concentrated everything inside her to put the shield on and tried to keep it safe and unbroken.

Drop by a drop of some strange liquid dropped from the sky and after a while, they realized that it was blood. But not just simple blood, it was steaming hot. The screams could be heard from everywhere. Even Kendra's heart thumped scared. This is not what they expected. This world supposed to be peaceful heaven for mating...or was her assumption completely wrong?

It can't be. Kendra was sure that there must be some other reason for the sudden change. But then she had a thought, what if...

''Cynthia... Come here fast.'' Kendra called a scared looking woman, that stood by Alice to calm her down.

Cynthia could see Sirius hugging Anita and quickly approached the pale looking Kendra. ''What is it? Do you feel pain?''

Kendra shook her head and looked at Isaa that became almost grey. ''Isaa, do you feel it as well?''

Isaa nodded. ''Sacred creature was hurt. Badly. Is it that white deer we saw last time? Is he the protection animal of this world?''

Everyone gasped. They heard about such cases before. In some world, rabbits, deers or unicorns were protection animals and were actually quite protected themselves as they have no offense or defense powers. Just power to stabilize the world and to heal.

Kendra became furious. ''Who in the right mind would attack sacred animal?''

Anita slowly walked to them and everyone else stopped with infusing powers as the shield stood stable up. Kimi stood there and looked at the blood that rained on the shield. ''I fear that big changes might happen because the sacred animal got hurt.''

Most of them were worried. The sacred animals in their world were usually protected by rulers of their kingdoms. SO they can keep the world stable and peaceful. But in those worlds that lost their scared animal, many things changed. What will change here?

Isaa rose her hands. ''Wait, listen to all to my stop talking.'' They were all starting to comment and it could be seen that they were afraid. Slowly they calmed down and looked at isaa.

''I am not sure about many things, but one thing I know. If that sacred animal dies, we all are in danger as the animal world will change and we might become their enemies. One more thing. If we find it and heal it we can keep it safe here. This is probably the safest place in this world, so far. What do you all think?'' She looked around and could see everyone's approval.

Kendra stepped forward. ''My power is just like others only by the first boundary. I will need your help to summon the invisible cloud as my power is not enough. As I am little it will be easy for me to search for it and then few of us can go and get it.''

Isa shook her head. ''It is too dangerous.''

''I know. But sitting here is no answer. I am the lightest here. So small cloud will be enough. I will be able to support it. Just right now I will need your help to make it, please.'' She could feel other powers in her as well, but they all rose just to the first boundary. As her pearl of power is not in use yet she couldn't even make her own cloud without help.

Kimi looked at her as everyone had a curious expression as well. ''What is cloud power? Never heard of it?''

Isaa smiled. ''That is something Kendra invented. That is her first own spell. Let her teach you all. Later on, when we go out you can use it to fly around. It is quite comfortable you know. My first cloud was pink.''

Girls looked at Kendra with hope while guys just rolled their eyes. For them to fly on their weapons is more heroic, but a tiny bit of curiosity was still there.

Kendra gathered them all in a circle and explained. ''I will gather droplets of water in the center. You need to use your powers to connect them with small tiny specs of power without turning it into ice. I will show you.''

She got two drops of water turned them into condensation and then waved power whisp inside it. Then she added more and more. She did it slowly so they could understand the concept of it. As she did that water users summoned water drops and turned them into the mist like she showed, while others interweaved their whisps of power into the mass.

It was at first as big as ping pong ball, but then it started growing, bit by bit. When it was the size of a table she stopped them. She pointed at the mass of power and water and explained it. ''Now use the whisps of power to compress it so it becomes smaller. Like pulling tread so the material gets smaller.''

They could see how the mass just slightly became smaller and started helping. The making the cloud looked easy and at first, it was, but the compressing process was harder as they thought. Not turning the mass into a ball of snow or ice was the hardest thing they could think of, so they had to keep a balance between water vapor and power whisps at all times.

Time passed and they didn't realize that day and night passed as they all concentrated at such a small thing. Only Anita and Sirius didn't help. They choose to prepare food for everyone. But when they saw the whole day passing, then the whole night and then again the whole day, they became scared.

The blood rain didn't stop even for moment. What will happen if they do not succeed? Sirius would from time to time send power whisps into the shield and could see that actually held quite good even with that bit of power he sent. But what about them? What will happen?
