Chapter 279 - 279. With friends and family

The moment he wanted to pass the door a boundary stopped him. A few moments later it disappeared but as he entered the palace he literally could feel something he didn't feel for a long time. As human.

He could literally feel the draft of air through the palace, smell the things that he usually never even noticed. A smile emerged over his face. She made a boundary for everyone who is not her own people to loose the powers as soon they enter the palace. Good idea.

Suddenly a strange loud murmur could be heard. They entered a huge hall and loud cheers could be heard. ''Yaaaay, they are back!''

Most people that could arrive trough gates already were here. 

Taskmaster stared at the strange creatures in their basic form talking comfortably with normal humans. I all his lief he never saw any cultivator showing his basic form. They all had a human form for interactions. 

Now seeing all these creatures comfortably talking to each other his mind started spinning a little. He turned his eyes and smiled brightly. ''Kendra...'' He whispered.

She turned her head towards him and winked. ''This is my idea of the real world. Everyone has their own idea. This is mine.''

Taskmaster looked with shiny eyes at the hundreds of people that rushed to greet the two while a dazed group of people entered and saw the strange situation. 

Soon everyone comfortably started greeting them until Lord Cassian didn't call for quiet. Behind them suddenly appeared two more people that rushed to huge Isaa and Kendra. 

When she looked a bit better she started laughing. ''Fluffy!!! Lilly!!!''

Everyone smiled as the two people huggeD them closely not letting them go. Suddenly low wimmer could be heard and Fluffy let go of Isaa. 

The two people saw a strange hairy creature in Isaa's hand and went silent. ''Uhm, where di you find this?''

Isaa chuckled while Kendra explained everything. 

The silence in hall helped her words to hear by everyone and all of them looked at the strange fluffy creature in Isaa's arms.

''... so we choose to bring it with us and we gave it a new name. Cyan Jade.'' Kendra explained while patting the fluffy hair. ''I hoped that two of you would teach it properly. It was our thought but if you don't want...''

''We want!'' Lilly rushed and picked up the fluffy creature from Isaa's hands. ''You are from today on our child. Don't worry, we will love you.''

The small creature looked first at her then at Fluffy then at her and started shaking his tail happily. 

Isaa felt a bit reluctant to let go but knew this is the best way as they are about to go and take care of the dangerous enemies. She kissed Cyan Jade one more time and hugged Lilly. ''Thank you. Cyan Jade is a good child. Smart child. Let it grow happily. I will be back after the war ends.''

Lilly wrinkled her eyebrows as she heard her words. ''You two are not trying a bit longer? I hoped we could show you this world. It got bigger. Kendra, I have no wish to live anywhere else. No wonder your parents have no wish to go out. They already cultivated their powers until mid of God's level.''

Kendra nodded. ''It is fine if they cultivate. But slow them down. To fast, cultivation might harm them.'' 

Kendra looked around and saw so many familiar but as well as unfamiliar faces. This world showed the true side of mixed children and races. But it was fine with her. As long they could live peacefully...

Lord Cassian got closer and lowered his voice. ''There are fights here as well. But we do not get involved as long it doesn't take a turn to worse and hurt innocent people. This world, Kendra is the best for all races. Our people made new traveling gates. I wish you could stay longer so I could show you some interesting things.''

Kendra was always interested in such stuff so she smiled brightly. ''After I come back I will stay in this world for couple years as I want my body to grow naturally. That way I can spend some time with you and mother.''

He nodded but then looked at her with hesitation. ''What about your real parents. Did you find them?''

Kendra's face became dark remembering them. ''They are two foolish people that had a different way of viewing the child growth and care. They had this stupid tradition to give the child to other people right after birth so they could grow in a commoner family and learn a harsh life. But they never expected that I would have that harsh life. The people they gave me were annihilated anD that man that took me over was one of their servants. Actually, their kind gives children to nobles or Kings. Do you know noble Dour?''

Lord Cassian nodded. ''He was noble from old nobility and was a good man. His house was burned to the ground as some robbers attacked his fief. I was at that time still not here... If you grew up with him, you would have been a happy child. Both he and his wife were good people with a huge heart. Too bad.''

So he gave me to a good person, but couldn't expect that kind of situation...Kendra realized the situation but still held a grudge in her heart. If they didn't leave her on fist place to a stranger, any of this wouldn't happen. That child could have lived a comfortable life with her parents.

A bit of melancholy enveloped her hear and her eyes suddenly became wet. 

''If that happened, we would never have met. And many things now would have been different.'' Kendra spoke while thinking about that possibility. From one side she felt sorry for that child but form another side she felt unwilling to let these people go out of her  life. 

Yes, this is her life. Not that children. 

As she rose her face a huge honest bright smile was on her lips and warmly enveloped everyone with its brightness. This is my home and my friends. My family and my beloved ones. Mine...
