Chapter 225 - 225.Back home...

As they walked through the forest they could see many different kinds of healing plants so all they did was to slowly gather them. Walking from the mountain down to the base was not an easy feat but when they came close to Illo's village they could see the devastation that couldn't be even summed in words.

Isaa heard from Conrad about this village but when she saw how they lived she just shook her head. ''These are not even livable. How did they even survive winter in these... things.''

Each house was a different size but made from the same material. Some braches and twigs mixed with mud and covered with dried grasses and... that's it. Inside were fireplaces in mid of those houses and on the sides were beds made just from some branches and some dried grasses.

''Kendra, if we didn't have the powers, would we live like this as well?'' She was curious as she knew Kendra's personality.

Kendra went into deep thought but shook her head. ''Trust me, no. Our houses would be still made from trees. It would take us longer to make them but no, I am sure we would have lived still comfortably. This place is more pigsty then living place.''

''When we speak about pigs, what do you think we find couple goats and bring them home? Soon we will have babies at home. We will need milk.'' Isaa was clear that they needed milk to feed the newborns.

But Kendra shook her head. ''The goats in this world are hard to catch. We can't do that but we can ask those from Warrior village to see if they can capture a couple of those alive. They have more ability than the two of us. I am sure they will have a way to do that.''

The two of them continued to walk, while Pallca became silent. He just strode behind them in deep thought and almost feel in a ditch filled with water if Isaa didn't pull him back.

She snapped at him. ''You moron. Please use your eyes. We have no wish pulling your dead body out of this place. Look the murky water, who knows how disgusting that water is. Watch your step. We are not far from home.''

As she turned around she didn't hear any of his usual complins and stopped. she glanced back and saw him just following them mindlessly in deep thought with a serious expression on his face. From one side she wanted to know what is going on while from the other side she was seriously considering pushing him into that dirty water herself. So he can snap out of it.

The walk through the forest was more important as it is. Everywhere she found wild vegetables, Isaa left a small piece of red cloth as a sign. Her heart pained but she planned to seed the red grass on their place so they will have more of this material. 

Now was important to gather some of the wild vegetables she found. She even found watercress, plantain and more. As they walked they passed one of many smaller meadows in the forest and she suddenly stopped. Isaa looked closer and pointed at the green leaves while looking at Kendra. ''Is that chard or spinach?''

Kendra pinched her cheek and poked her head while laughing. ''Its kale. But look how bit those leaves are. this is good. We can gather these and exchange them for something good.''

Between the kale, they even found huge radishes that they collected straight away. 

Looking at the food they found Kendra only sighed. ''When the two of us were younger, much younger, we lived from simple vegetables and fruits we found in our surroundings. The life was not easy, but to tell you the truth, it was not hard either. Maybe we were just lucky, don't you think Isaa?''

But in this case, Pallca answered. ''In the country, I came from we believe to be lucky it a skill as well. Not anyone can be lucky. I think we carry our luck to help others. And the more we help, the luckier we become. Kendra, I have no idea how you lived in past lives, but you must have acc.u.mulated quite a lot of luck to be born here.''

You have no idea ... She was about to say those words but then remembered that she actually had always luck in the worst moments. Does that mean that her life even before could be considered lucky?

''Kendra is our lucky star. When I think about it, wherever she is things get better and life becomes happy and sumptuous. Since I met Kendra I was never completely hungry. It seems I have my share of luck as well to meet her.'' She started laughing while they walked.

What they didn't know was that eyes were greedily staring at Knedras back. As she passed through the forest and vanished in front of their eyes. 

They crossed the small stream and then started walking up to the hill that they already knew. As they entered the forest they started wiggling between trees. Kendra went in front of Isaa on rear and Placca in mid of the group. They just didn't want him to get in trouble if he leaves the track.

When they got closer to the shield Kendra touched it and it opened just enough for them to pass through. Pallca was amazed when he saw that. But he was even more amazed as he saw people rushing towards them with huge smiles on their faces. 

To his even bigger astonishment, He could see two animals rushing toward their group and when he saw sacred animal rubbing his head on Kendra's body almost arguing with a huge rabbit, he couldn't stop himself from chuckling. Conrad looked at him with big eyes and then stared at Kendra.

''What is going on? How did he appear here?'' Conrad's question made everyone stop in their motion and look at him with surprise in their eyes.

Kendra just smiled. ''He came too late so Taskmaster punished him with stripping him off from his powers completely and now he joined us. You know that man. He hats people doing unneeded things especially.''

Pallca looked at her two ears and chuckled. ''What did you do to him to give you those?''

Isaa punched his shoulder and tried to shut him up but Kendra still answered. ''I argued with him. Well not argued, I compromised with few things. As I successfully got my deal he felt I went overboard and gave me these. Now I look like this.''

She patted her ears and such motion looked so cute in everyone's eye that they almosts tarted pinching her. She could literally feel their emotion so she looked at the coldly but unfortunately, her cute expression didn't scare them at all and so she just had to escape. ''Cloudy!!!''

Under their laughter, Kendra flew over their heads and smiled brightly. ''Naughty hands.'' 

Under laughter from all sides she floated slowly towards the houses and asked about happenings as long they were gone. 

Anita sighed. ''You sent us so many pea pods we had two days of work. We just finished. What should we do with it?''

''Dry, cook, freeze.'' Since many water users could produce water, they choose to cooperate with wind users and make compressed ice and Icecellar. So many things that they wanted to eat were or dried or frozen.

Pallca was stunned by their organizing of stuff. After they water users took out the water from Peas they left it on the sun to dry it more. From their words, they wanted to use some to make pea flour and rest of dried goods for winter in the special cellar.

Some will be cooked and as they spoke they got inside they open hallways. He was amazed by the structure and buildings. But most impressive was the fact that everyone had a light red garment. Like uniform. 

He looked at Isaa and pointed at their clothes. ''This...?''

Isaa rose her eyebrow. ''This, what? This is something we want to keep secret. Do not speak to others about this. You will get one set of these garments as well. You will see why everyone is wearing it.''

''Isaa...'' Kendra floated next to her and shook her head. ''Let's live peacefully. I have no idea what plans the grounding fairy had for this world, and if she had any ideas. But one thing is sure it is nice to live here. Later, much later I want to make worlds that are as peaceful as this one. What is wrong with living happily? Look at you. Your eyes glowing in sun like little stars...''

Soon a small song could be heard echoing and everyone just sit down and closed their eyes to enjoy the song. Kendra in the past world liked Celtic music most and sang a song that kind of fitted environment. Pallca sat down near Isaa that just leaned unexpectedly on him and listened to the little girl standing on floating cloud and singing.

A small smile hung on her lips while she sang one song after another. Even the saint animal stood there almost frozen while listening to her songs. He looked at the rabbit that blissfully shook his head with closed eyes. As the last tones escaped over the tips of the trees Kendra opened eyes and smiled at everyone. 

''She just wants everyone to live happily together. She hates complicated situations. As good she can be, she can become worse to those that do he wrong without normal reason.''They looked at the girl that sat down on a cloud and let her feet dangling down while explaining what they could make from peas. then she explained what they found nearby so their group already made plans.

Ideas were flying here and there, making Pallca silent. As the evening fell they all gathered in the main room where they spoke about their news, ideas and inventions. He couldn't understand until Cynthia didn't sit down next to him.

''Senior. I am Cynthia. I can see that you are confused about our lives here and that is normal. If you came at the same time when we did, you would understand why we live so happy together. That child...'' She looked at Kendra and smiled warmly. ''...she saved us all. Not from living here only. From our stupidy as well. Since we started talking about our powers and skills we learned more about things we never knew. As you are new, many things will seem strange to you, but before making your own mind ask. We all choose to answer all the questions if we can. If there is no answer we all work together to find or make answer.''

As the chats continued he became serious. These people's insight into cultivation is even better than some of the fairies or lower Gods of the upper realm. Seeing that everyone stood up from their seat to teach the group he became silent. How should he explain the knowledge he had in his mind.

Isaa sat down next to him and shook her head. ''Somehow I know how you feel. If you start teaching us you have to tell the complete truth about yourself. But at that time we would have to kick you out this place, you know that?''

He looked at her surprised. ''What are you talking about?''

Stupid, this man is truly stupid . 

''What was sect you grew your powers at?'' She tried to make him realize the problem himself. But looking at his blank expression she literally envisioned him been beaten up by her in the pulp. His answer of course was. ''Warrior sect.''

''Ok. Then do you know not far from here there are members of warrior sect there.'' She stared at him intensively but he just blinked.

Suddenly a big smile appeared on his lips. ''Oh. Do you think I should join my own sect as it was someone who supported me for a long time? I probably will. But cant I give you all pointer or two. We are friends now, aren't we...''

Of course, his answer made her just give up. If that is his wish. She just waved her hand and shrugged while walking back to her seat next to Kendra.

Kendra looked at him in astonishment as he boldly announced who he is. ''Let me introduce myself. My name is Pelcca, God of strength...''

She turned her eyes towards Isaa that just rolled her eyes. ''He is dumb, I told you...''
