Kendra opened eyes as the first lights started appearing at the horizon. What is the point of making the light go up and down like on earth if this place is just a flat surface? Her sigh could be heard and the three people looked at her serious expression as she stared at the rising sun with wrinkles on her forehead as in deep thought.
''What are you think about?'' Man's voice could be heard near her head and she looked at him completely blankly.
His eyes clouded for second but became calm again. He pocked her cheek with his finger in hope to get her out her daze but she just stared at the sun completely oblivious about her surroundings.
Isaa was suddenly afraid. Something was going on in that little head of hers and she was afraid that soon she might disappear again. In just a couple of steps, she approached Kendra and hugged her thin body. ''Sister, don't leave me...''
Kendra realized that her actions have frightened Isaa so she just patted her back. ''I already told you. Didn't I promise before that wherever I go you will come with me? Don't you trust your big sister anymore?''
Palcca was about to laugh when he realized something. None of the two others had a smile on their face. ''Wait, she is older than Isaa?''
Taskmaster nodded and smiled. ''It was her choice to stay in this body as she has quite playful nature. It is fine with me tho. If she chose to stay as a child even in the next tens of thousands of years, I am willing still to wait. I have time.''
For the first time, Kendra truly looked at him. She lived a long time in her past life and heard about devoted husbands. Of course, she wanted to meet one in her life but who would have thought she met him here. Looking closely this man was fine. He had completely white hair. But that didn't stop him looking amazing.
The eyelashes, eyebrows, everything was white, but his eyes were completely purple. She almost chuckled when he darted his eyes around from her stare. ''Taskmaster. You lived already this long, you can't tell me you never had a woman in your life?''
He shook his head. ''I did. I will never lie to you.'' His dark eyes became darker. ''When I was younger I met a woman who made me happy for a while. But unfortunately, she disappeared into oblivion leaving me alone. After that, I couldn't find any woman who was worthy of her. I compared every woman to her...''
Kendra understood his feelings. ''I understand. I hope I do not look like her. That would be degrading for me.''
He smiled. ''You two could be said are different. She was elegant, calm, powerful and loved me. Trust me you two can't be the same.''
Kendra just wrinkled her lips and didn't say anything while he continued to talk. ''You seem cold, but have a big heart. You seem playful but think of others first before on yourself. You would try to haggle even with me, but only for the good of your companions. Even tho I can see many ridiculous things you do, but in the end, you still think of people you care about a great deal. That is the reason I wouldn't give up.''
Isaa felt her hands itching. Even if his words seem quite nice and dependable, he still compared her Kendra to some wild woman from his past. ''You still compare her with that woman? Kendra is Kendra. How can you even mention your past in same breath with Kendra's name? It is so annoying.''
Taskmaster stilled as he heard Isaa's words but suddenly Kendra spoke. ''I understand his words completely. As he said. I am indeed different. That is the only reason he is interested in me. Nothing else. Taskmaster, for a slight moment I even felt a thinge of affection for you. But comparing me with a woman from your past, I feel greatly repulsed. Please find another way to break your boring life. I am not interested in becoming your plaything. Go now. I do not wish to see you.''
He stood there with wide eyes and blank expression while the two women choose to pack their things and start walking. He suddenly appeared in front of her and was about to say something when he suddenly disappeared.
Isaa blinked few times and stared at his spot while Kendra continued to walk. As Isaa had longer legs she caught up with her fast and stared at her. ''What happened?''
Kendra looked up and shrugged. ''I think he has only a certain amount of time to stay here and he spent it all while sitting by fire whole night. Maybe it's even better, I am seriously getting angry now. I mean, form one side he said he will wait for me for so long, but he still has another person in his heart. I do not want to be in second place in my man's heart, ever. It's better if he stays far away from me. Not interested.''
Yes, she was for am moment effected with his words. Even tho she has the body of a girl, her soul was of a grown woman. She was playful and naughty by nature, but that who said that after you grow up you have to stop who you really are? In past life she suppressed her real nature but living here she let it all out. All the emotions. Happiness, anger, playfulness and seriousness all in the same person. Why not? All those things are real her.
Yes he has an amazing body and his facial features were so breathtaking that her breath would stock every time she stared directly into him, but his ignorance is making her go on fire. Seriously?
Being so old and do not know what to speak and when? Telling her about his past affection and they still didn't even start anything... Yes, she asked him... but couldn't he say he will tell her later? Talking so calmly about his affection for another woman somehow annoyed her deeply. She felt something brewing deeply in her and if he didn't leave she would have probably done something.
Looking at her puffed cheeks and red eyes Isaa kept silent while laughing inwardly. ''Oh, Kendra. My sister is growing up as it seems. Bit jealous, huh?''
Kendra suddenly stopped and stared at her with slowly receding redness in her eyes. ''I am not jealous!''
Her words made Isaa chuckle and pinch her cheeks. ''Ohhhh my little sister is growing up. Ha ha ha, I am sure you know just like I know. You are completely and utterly jealous. But what can you do now? He is gone.''
Small hand spanked her fingers and she chuckled. Kendra just gave her long stare and with put turned round. ''Not jealous at all! Who would be jealous? Me? No! I have better things to do than to run after a man that was not me in his heart. Tsk!''
Her tantrum and laments continued as they started walking further down the mountain. While Isaa made jokes Kendra would snap at her or pinch her with refute or rebuttal.
Palcca walked behind them quietly. This is the first time after many centuries that he used his own feet to walk. And he realized how much fun it is. But how comes he feels all these things? He is God so he forgot the feeling of cold, warm, happy, sad, pain...
''Uhm, sorry for interrupting, but can one of the two of you tell me what is going on here? I can't use my powers at all.'' He tried many times and realized that all his powers are strangely gone. For the first time, he felt really uncomfortable.
Then the two realized that they had company from one more idiot so they fiercely stared at him, making him almost run away. But where he could run? He had no idea where this place is.
Isaa could see his complicated expression and chose to help him. ''Turn back to that person from our sect. When we go back you will leave and say you will travel the world to cultivate. Then you can turn back into your real self. I have no idea why you hid under such disguise. You look normal as you are.''
Her words made him think about all those people that always tried to gain favors from him. But these two just wanted to grow stronger without other people's help. They do accept assistance, but growing powers can be made faster with the assistance of Gods. Only these two wanted to learn first before they try to ascend. So he made a new decision.
''When we get out and I go back, I will grow my powers to help you two grow strong fast. As senior God, I can help you raise your powers effortlessly. We just need to get you some Godly spirit points...'' He started contemplating after saying all these things.
Suddenly Isaa and Kendra stopped almost colliding with the walking man. ''What did you say?''
