''Master, Tarok La is on the move. If we don't do anything, he will find out...'' Two young men stood in front of a woman and shook in fear.
''What? You are scared now? Our sect di so many things to grow powers stronger to be able to break the order those creatures made. We are not that weak to fear Tarok La. Go and check on that child. She needs to grow her powers, but why is she so lazy? Did she forget her duty?'' The woman got angry as she spoke about that person.
The two men looked at each other in astonishment. ''How did you know? She has lost all her memories. Master, what can be done?''
The woman suddenly appeared in front of them and dangerously hissed. ''You didn't tell me such important thing? If she doesn't remember her task... I need to go see Elders. This is going to be complicated then.''
She disappeared in front of their eyes and the moment last specs were gon the expressions on their faces changed. ''To use our bloodline to do such devious things? Good that our uncle found us and told us the truth or that child might have had all bad planted on her back. Our countermeasures started. Now we need to find her and tell her the truth.''
The other man shook his head. ''It will take some time until she comes out. I heard there is a competition...''
Kendra sat in front of the table and was about to pour a cup of tea as the sudden foreboding feeling passed through her soul. But then she calmed down. Even tho she had that bad feeling she knew that Taskmaster wouldn't let anything bad happen.
Even tho he let her be naughty and call him names, his powers... She was sure he could handle many things on his own. But poking at his pride and making him work harder on himself, sh loved to do that.
Remembering his expressions she relaxed with a silly smile on her face.
Isaa sat down and stole the cup Kendra poured for herself. ''When you smile so silly I almost can see who you are thinking off.''
Kendra shrugged. ''Of course. What is going on with that fool of yours? I don't see him very often now.''
Isaa sighed. ''Since he got some of his powers back he started cultivating again like crazy. Uhm. I need to find him and stop him. Last time he strained his sea of power.''
''I do not say all men are stupid, but sometimes I really feel something is wrong with men around us. Or we just have such 'luck' to meet such people.'' Kendra chuckled but then shook her head. ''Actually. I feel that two of us are really lucky. All those people chose to become slight fools in the name of love, but none of them became stupid to the point of a lost cause. The two of us and mother have actually quite a luck to meet such good men, don't we?''
Isaa nodded. ''Even tho they are foolish and silly, I found it cute since I fist saw mother and father quarreling all the time. My wish was always to have such a marriage. Mother would always push him harder to become strong, but at the same time, she would support him whenever she can. I want to be like her as well in the future.''
Kendra looked at Isaa and started laughing. ''I fear that you will turn into a dragon and chase him across the universe if he becomes weakling. Isaa, before, now and even n future, you can count on me. Sometimes I might be in cultivation, but only you are able to get me out. And I am glad about that. In the future, let us change the world. I need to tell you my vision of things I want to do but now is not time. After we get out here, we can still do that. Right?''
Isaa agreed. ''Of course. But what shall we do with those boorish people? I am kind of annoyed.''
''Don't be. From tomorrow we will start having sparrings at the training place. We need to prepare for competitions. I think competitions are a great way to release some pressure from the heart. And anger as well. When we get out we will be ready and I plan to win. It is time that those sects realize how strong our people are. They have been looking down on our sect as it seems for a long time.'' Kendra's voice became dangerously love as her eyes tarted getting red.
No matter what her sect members did, how much they helped everyone, somehow there was still that feeling that they didn't take them quite seriously. Not even after building a city and doing all those things... That is the reason she chose for her sect membres to pull back. They did enough from their side. Now those people have to deal with their own problems alone.
Isaa could see a sarcastic smile appearing on her face and had to admit. ''For a while, I liked being around others but seeing how they treat our sect members as their own personal servants... I completely understand why you pulled everyone back.''
''We all do.'' Kimi stood there and smiled at them while holding Cyan Jade in her arms. She patted him and let it down.
Looking at it running here and there and jumping around them, the three women started laughing. ''this little ancient si quite playful. He went into the kitchen and made Anita crazy as he broke at last twenty bowls.''
Kendra laughed. ''At least we will have another pottery day and make some beautiful bowls. He did us a favor.'' They had hundreds of bowls so they were not worried.
Kimi sat next to Kendra and as usual hugged her. ''I have no idea why I always want to hug you all the time. I think its the smell on your body. So.. pure and comfortable? Does that makes sense?''
Isaa nodded. ''I know what you mean. When we were smaller Kendra and I would sleep in two beds but I actually would sneak into her bed and sleep around her. You are right, her smell is so calming and comfortable.''
''No wonder you are a clean freak.'' Kimi poked her pearly cheeks and planted small kiss on them. ''But I think we will have a problem when you become a grown woman. Or we will have thousands following you and trying to snatch you from us, or you will find someone who will steal your heart and body. What should we do then?''
Kendra mischievously planted her hands on Kimi's cheeks and pulled them apart. ''Then you need to find someone else to hug. Someone big... and muscular.'' She winked at Kimi that became instantly red.
While they joked with each other the others started joining in and making jokes as well. Their laugh echoed in the nearby forest where few people stood in surprise.
Illo's eyes narrowed. ''It seems that someone in their sect knows formations. Here is barrier as well. No wonder. How can we get that person if they never leave this place...''
