''I will make it short and explain later the details. Oh well, some people tried to kidnap me... me . Anyway, I let them do that because I didn't know what was background story. After being inside for a while I became bored and most importantly hungry so I made many distractions. Then I made 'True from heart' array. In that array, people's deepest minds, thoughts, actions and real feelings would be revealed.'' Kendra started explaining what that array is.
Everyone looked at each other with big eyes. ''There is such a thing?'' Conrad asked as he could not understand the world anymore.
Kendra didn't know should she laugh or cry at their sudden outburst of comments. From all sides, the questions and made her all dizzy as she had no strength now to answer. Her body was tired and she just wanted some quiet. She rose hands and yelled. ''Let me continue!'' Of course, she wouldn't tell them that she invented that thing. It is better if she just says she found a few rolls of those things and realized how they worked as she is quite smart.
The crowd slowly stopped commenting, so she continued. ''Trough the array I found out that people in that group actually came together to make their own group. The people themselves were from different groups. Their idea was not bad and their basic concept was just to ask me to help them with some basic solutions.''
After a small sigh, she continued. ''Unfortunately, not everyone had the same intention or whatever concept. So the argument came out, one side tried to harm me the other tried to protect me and on end, Taskmaster appeared and stopped everything. Taskmaster punished those that tried to harm me and sent them the other continent where they have to survive the next 25 years. The other group didn't do anything bad but was working together to kidnap me so they got just an extra 5 years on some island. But all that... means nothing.''
Everyone stirred as they heard that Taskmaster again got involved but sighed in relief after hearing she was fine after that. Jason was nervous all the time and relaxed after hearing that she was practically saved by Taskmaster, making Kendra inwardly roll the eyes. I just mentioned that I am the strongest being next to Taskmaster in this world and these foolish people are still so worried about me? How... cute !
Isaa could see her eyes curving and a tiny smile appearing on Kendra's lips and felt happy. Finally, she was in her element...
But Kendra rose her arms to calm them down and continued. ''That situation explained so you know that I didn't encounter any really bad situation. But afterward was interesting.''
They calmed down and sudden silence could be heard. ''In the cave I found maze... I was actually very curious about where that could go. After all, I have powers and you already knew that I won't be coming back for a while so I told myself, let's investigate!''
Then her story continued in detail until the cave. ''When I went in at first I felt it was just pretty. I like shiny stuff so the cave that reflected light, you must imagine how much light and colors were inside, but suddenly I felt a strange energy. No, wrong expression. I felt familiar with that energy. When I went closer to the wall I saw billions of billions of billions of tiny crystals that excluded spirit energy. Now the question of the day. Did anyone ever heard of such a thing?''
Everyone went quiet accept one woman that always stood on the side. Her green hair was a bit different than others but no one made comment about that. They are all after all cultivators. Kendra went into deep thought as she stared at the woman and she started chuckling.
''Our Kendra is indeed smart and wise, but with names... you really have a problem, do you?'' The woman started laughing and everyone joined in. She literally would mix up everyone's name even mixing up all the male and female names sometimes.
Kendra sighed. ''I am sorry. Seriously. I have so much on my mind even if you would give yourself only single letters I would mix it up.''
Everyone started laughing, even more, making her face flush red as a beet. I have that problem so what? It is not the end of the world! She didn't say it out loud, but stood there stiffly and pouted.
Looking at her face the woman stood up and just pushed her softly on her place and then went back to the middle where everyone could see and hear her. Everyone got used to doing that when they want to explain something.
''Almost all of know me, except certain forgetful cutie. Well, let me say it again. My name is Chula Male. I do not like talking very much so I will keep it short. In my world there is a belief that spirit stones and veins are not made, then start existing with time. As long there are some living beings there, the spirit starts gathering. It speeds up if there are creatures that have or use their own power. I already wondered how long would it takes to find first spirit vein as we already are using such powers already from start.'' She then stopped talking and that was it from her side.
Isaa stood up and looked at Kendra. ''We wanted to tell you about this after a while, but considering recent things that are happening, I think you should know...'' She stopped and then saw Kendra nodding. ''We found the new creature on top of the mountain. The weirdness on that creature is that it sucks out all the power but the base of power is not harmed. On the contrary, it is strengthened. the two of already tried and as Kednras base is already stronger than anyone else, she feels that we all should go up and strengthen the base. As we do that, we can help the creature and as well us.''
Now was for a moment silence and then whispers until everything erupted. Suddenly from outside a voice could be heard. ''May I come in?'' Saint animal Siu stood on the door looking at them all.
Kendra smiled brightly. ''Of course, you can! Your wisdom is something we could use or need here.''
He slowly went in and stood in front fo them calmly. ''Isa, Kendra tell me more about the new creature.''
They looked at each other and started explaining. But the more they explained the more everyone became confused. Even a saint animal shook his head. ''Listening to your words I would say it is a new dragon, but dragons do not have that kind of eggs. Maybe ancient?''
Isaa and Kendra suddenly jumped up simultaneously and yelled. ''Ancient!''
He nodded and looked at them with big eyes. ''They are extremely rare. Those creatures are usually quite strange themselves. No one knows how they start existing and how the egg looks like. It seems you are first to see that. I am not sure tho. But looking at your happy expression, you met ancient before?''
They started chuckling and laughing. ''Not only met him, but he also became part of our family just like everyone else here. If not even closer.'' Fluffy!!! Their face suddenly became sad. ''We miss them all...''
Siu inhaled deeply. He lived for so many centuries and never met ancient. But these two... ''I have to warn you. Young ancients are quite... mischievous. You have to teach it properly or it could cause havoc in the world.''
''Our baby won't have time to do so. Listen all of you. Right now he is in the learning phase. If we could teach him about basic stuff, I think it would be able to grow properly in future. I know the place where I can send him when we go out. There is only one safe place in any universe... Right, Kendra?'' Isaa looked at her with shiny eyes and Kendra noded.
''Of course. What do you think about how fast Fluffy and Lilly will grow up after I hand over the baby to them. Wait. We are already this long here, maybe there the two of them... you know...'' Isaa's face became suddenly red making everyone even more astonished as they had no idea what Kendra is talking about. Fluffy? Lilly?
''Well anyway, is it possible for me as well to go and see that egg. I do not waste my chance to see it. Who knows will I have that kind of honor ever again.'' Siu was really eager to meet the Thing.
On the end, they all agreed. The fist will go Isaa and Kendra one more time to check on the ancient baby egg and then she will come back with five people and another five and so on. Everyone except the two pregnant women. They didn't want to take chances of course...
