Chapter 289 - 289. Constructors

As the fist sunlight fell over the palace, enveloping it with golden light and sounds of birds woke up sleepy humans, in the place strange sight could be seen. 

Thousands of people sat on their clouds and waited. And more were approaching. Even tho there were so many people, but no one spoke. Somehow even nature didn't pass the everyday sounds to this place.

People walked the streets and saw strange occurrence as more and more people were arriving and just waiting for something as almost frozen they waited. But for what?

Out one of the portals, one woman came out in completely black clothes and with swift steps jumped on the nearby cloud that waited for her. With shivering lips she muttered. ''Kendra, Kendra...''

But stopped talking as Tassio flew towards her and pressed his finger on her lips.

With a question in her eyes she looked at him but he pointed at everyone. There was silence. Almost soundlessly they flew up and waited while looking at the pulsing thing.

Over the night the shield over her cave became thicker and thicker and soon the cave was completely covered with power whisps. But not only did they cover the cave the number of power whisps became more a d more and the shield thicker and thicker. 

Soon it turned into a shiny pulsing cocoon that was pulsing from time to time. Like a heart in the human body, the shield would pulse rhythmically. And as the night passed, the shield became a wall and then just became solid.

Taskmaster and Marcus stood in front of the egg and just waited. Not moving away even for inch.

So when the first sunlight hit the top of the castle and then slowly wiggled its way lower and lower towards the caves it was suddenly stopped by something behind. The two men turned their heads and saw the whole bunch of women slowly descending in from the sky like butterflies. 

Under their feet were small clouds and on their faces calm smile. They stopped near the castle and bowed deeply towards the cave. None of them spoke and they just waited.

The two men just shrugged and turned their heads back to Kendra's cave when they heard a strange sound. Marcus and Taskmaster stepped back while Isaa suddenly flew straight towards the wall and pressed her hands on it.

Her face changed. ''Quickly, come. It is time.''

She pushed the astonished men to the side and suddenly the whole bunch of women connected with each other and with Isaa that slowly pressed her hands at the hard surface.

Under wondering gazes from all men, all women that were flying around arrived and connected to each other. Even her mother, Lady Xara and her sister were concentrating their powers towards Kendra.

As they started sending their powers towards her cocoon and suddenly under Isaa's hand a small crack could be seen. With the time crack became bigger and brighter. And just before the last sunlight disappeared, The cocoon started crumbling down and suddenly everything stopped. Literally.

None could move even a bit. They could even see particles of dust frozen in space around them. The particles became bigger and on particles could be seen lifeforms. When the lifeforms realized that they have been seen they went inside particles and only their eyes could be seen.

A soothing voice suddenly resounded. ''You do not need to fear us, we mean no harm. Come out please.''

Just that voice made them feel comfortable. The lifeforms slowly came out and showed their true self. Something between spiders and butterflies was floating around the tiny particle and turned towards the voice.

''You are usually not seen, so not many people noticed you. But I did. There was never a way for me to do this. And I probably won't be ever able to do this as this is a glitch in time, but as I have this chance please accept my deepest thanks. Thank you for existing and thank you for helping me grow and make this world so wonderous. I won't be able to give you thanks ever again as you do not hear us usually, but please accept it from me and my family. Thank you for existing, thank you for all that you do, thank you...'' The soothing voice was filled with reverence and respect.

The tiny forms started flying in circles as they heard the soothing voice. One of them floated bit away from particle and bowed its head. A tiny, tiny voice could be heard. ''This is the first time we heard someone talking to us. Anyway, you are very welcome.'' And full of arrogance went back to the circling crowd.

The voice chuckled a bit. ''I am really grateful. You are doing an amazing job. I fear only one thing. Your friends in other realms might have been captivated or slaughtered. All their work destroyed. This really will be protected by me and my friends so have fun. I will do my best to protect all Constructors. Without you, this world or any world wouldn't be able to exist.''

The flowing creatures stopped flying in circles and almost froze. One of them came back and with a shaky voice asked. ''Can you help them? Please help them. There are not many of us existing.''

Voice sighed. ''This time I found you by a chance, how can I find them as they hide in specs and even tho I am powerful but your species is even more powerful. Tell me, how to find them.''

The creature turned its head towards others and after while it spoke again. ''Then I shall come with you. They will recognize me, no matter in what world. No matter how far. No matter in what corner of the realm they are.''

The being grew bigger and bigger and bigger and suddenly beautiful creatures with butterfly wings floated in front of their eyes. ''This is our original size. Can you still protect me?''

Around the butterfly, a shield appeared and strange runes as well. The voice spoke. ''This can protect you even if I am not around. And if you get near to your kind this will transfer to them as well. Try it out.''

Butterfly went close to the spec of dust and all the creatures suddenly had that same shield and runes. 

''With this shield, you don't have to be afraid anymore and hide. You can live comfortably from now on.'' The moment the sound of the voice stopped a whole bunch of beautiful creatures started appearing in front of their eyes. ''There is enchanted forest deep in this world. I put many seals on that world and only those that are invited by your kind will be able to enter. Not even I will be able. Live comfortably from now on. Please.'' 

The creatures suddenly one by one disappeared and only the one that turned first stayed. ''They will create new homes. Can we go now and rescue our friends? Hurry!''

''I still need to speak to these people. They are MY family and friends.'' As the creature heard her voice in humphed cutely but then just waved his hand as giving permission to do so.

The voice chuckled and then time floated again. Everything came back, smell, taste, sound...

The sound! Everyone listened to what just happened and were quite curious but not as curious as what will happen next. The sounds of stone could be heard as the crack on the wall appeared and slowly rose to the top.

Suddenly a light shone through the crack and blinded everyone. A voice could be heard from the light.

''Everyone, thank you for waiting. I am finally back...''
