Kendra was sitting with everyone in the main room and talking about the daily stuff.
''This year we had more than enough fruits and vegetables. We dried some, made seasonings and just left as they are for winter. So this winter we are clear. Any o you have some ideas that you want to change this winter?''
Everyone loved their winters. Playing around. Making small handiworks and just enjoying time with everyone. The knowledge they had they started sharing more often now and realized that many things are connected by sharing.
''... so you want to say that simple fireball can be so destructive?'' Toki stood up and produced small fireball and suddenly a whole bunch of water was sent his way. Literally the whole wave of water was following him trough room while everyone laughed as few women stood and tried to make him completely drenched.
Kendra chuckled. ''You all work together in your quests and competitions. You never tried really to join in the powers. The problem is to control the strength, fluctuation and resonance. It has to be complete;y same. If you successfully control that with your partner then the combined force even by simple fireball can be enhanced as ten times stronger maybe even more.''
Everyone stared at her with excited expressions. Isaa flicked her finger and a small waterfall appeared. While Kendra produced small fireball. The two of them slowly connected the two balls as they wanted everyone to see the connection points and the way it should be done and then the new ball shone for a moment and then split into two balls.
Those two balls were the same. A mixture of both powers mixed and still having its own function and effect. But this time both powers combined made everyone stand up and look at it closer but not too close.
Isaa started explaining. ''You all must have remembered the time we made cloud. You have been weak then so it was hard to make it even with us all. But, this task can be done with anyone who can concentrate. The combinations are random. You can try it out and we will go to our secret ground where we will try those things without harming anyone. We all need some training.''
Jason nodded. ''STraight after we come out there will be a championship between schools, guilds and sects. If e win maybe we can get some rare items.''
Everyone started commenting that happily. ''Maybe this year we can have a chance to get Potion of youth?'' Girls were more interested in those things.
Kendra scrunched her eyebrows. ''Why do you need that?''
Isaa patted her head. ''Not everyone can control their age as you. Youth Potion will hold a youthful appearance or bring back a youthful appearance to someone who is old. The normal cultivator can hold his appearance until he is 200 years old. After that normal signs of aging will be shown on his or her face. Those that turn into fairies or Gods don't have that problem anymore. So that potion is sought over.''
Kendra nodded. ''So its just em that can control appearance? Then, in that case, let us win. I do not mind helping you to get that potion. I would prefer for you all to gain Power preserving potion, but as you wish.''
Isaa chuckled. ''Looking at your face you seem that you have some ideas. What is it?''
Kendra sheepishly smiled. ''Well, I did plan to but that power preserving potion, but I choose to help our cultivators and teach them how to do that. The way we do it, you know? Then the Youth Potion will be our direct aim. Is it fist place win?''
Mika shook her head. ''No, it's a third-place win. The second place winner is the potion you mentioned and the first place is dagger from old times. It came from eternal caves on the upper level. One of God's picked it up randomly. For them that dagger means nothing but in this world it is important.''
Kendra remembered something. ''Since I came here, I forgot to ask you. In the middle realm, are there bad people or wars or something. I mean, you all are cultivators.''
Jason sighed. ''There are always problems between sects. Fights among cultivators even inside sects are not rare. Only our sect has a rule of peace and order.''
Kendra became silent and then looked ta him. ''What do you think bout that old man, our Guildmaster? I can't understand him.''
Sirius and Jason looked at her and realized that she has been in the sect a few years but in the cultivation room mostly. ''Our Guild master is not bad actually. No one actually knows his real strength and powers. Who he is and where he came from, no one knows. We only know his wife is Grounding Fairy and our duty is later to become Gods and aid Grounding Fairies.''
Kendra blinked. ''Wait, so the highest you can become is God?''
Jason shook his head. ''No, you can choose what higher being you want to become after you pass the last stage on God's level.''
Kendra sighed in relief. ''That means some of you will try to become Grounding Fairies? That is amazing.''
Everyone chuckled as Sirius just patted her head. ''That is not impossible. But when you become God it will take you millennials to go to the upper level. Everyone thinks gods cant die. But God's level has an expiration date as well. After ten millennia if you don't cross the last stage you will become mortal and just live and die as one. And after living so many years, many chose to die like normal people. Not everyone chose to be immortal. As ten millennia is a long time. Very, very long time. Some just get tired of it and do not wish to exist to eternity. I probably will do the same. We both will.''
He looked at his wife lovingly while smiling brightly. She nodded with a happy expression. ''Eternity sem to be very fine, but some Gods become crazy after half of the time as they time itself brings out the worst that is hidden in its own souls. So they become crazed and try to destroy everything and anything. On the upper level, there are creatures that keep some things more organized. They are hated but at the same time respected. Without those, utter chaos would enroll in the upper world. Sometimes I think that God's need to be tested just like us. But that is just my thought.''
So is there are creators, there must be destroyers as well. And many more things do not know. To make worlds they probably work together with Grounding fairies. ''But what is darkness within?is it connected to those creatures?'' She asked while looking at Jason.
He shook his head. ''No one knows actually why darkness within even exists. If it's connected to those creatures or not, no one really knows.''
Kendra nodded and thought about that man. She knew his powers are unusual. Very unusual. But then she shrugged. It is fine, he is cute, from inside as well.
