The more she pulled the longer it became.
Her lung felt like they will burst any moment, but she was not letting it go. Slowly she pulled the long thing and when she felt it was light again she used last bits of her strength to rush towards the top of the lake.
It felt suddenly so far. Even tho she used the speed to go up to the top, it still felt so far.
When she finally came out the warmth of the light actually felt bothersome. It was too hot for her now. But she could only gasp for air and victoriously look at the two creatures that stared at her from not that far away.
"I..." She gasped and coughed. "I found it!"
The snake hissed. "Stop yelling. We can see you found it."
The pink cat cleaned her shiny fur and came near water. "Get out. Your lips are turning blue."
Kendra suddenly realized that she actually didn't feel her body being cold. But still tried her best to swim quickly back to the warm sand bench.
When she was near she stood up with her weak legs and shakily walked out. "I don't feel coldness anymore."
The pink cat stopped cleaning herself and realized that her lips were indeed blue, but just a tiny bit. On the other hand, her skin was normal colour, not even reddish like the first time. Impossible. She couldn't have learned the skill so fast?
She rose her pink eyes towards the thing she was holding and blinked in wonder. "I thought you found spirit stone. But what is that?"
Snake snorted. "Your kind might be smarter, but did you forgot your own world?"
The pink cat just blinked at the snake while a bunch of questions began to pile up in her head, but then realized what she just said. Looking at the ugly thing her mouth went open and she speechlessly looked at Kendra.
With a jump, she came closer to the thing and pocked it with her paw. "This couldn't be? Right?"
Kendra was amazed by the thing. A completely white knotty wood with shiny light blue stone on top of it. "In my past life, I heard and read stories about witches and wizards. This must be a stave. I heard every stave have different power."
She turned her shiny eyes towards the two people and blinked in wonder as they stated at her with open mouth. "Uhm... what?''
She gave up hiding that she reincarnated as these two creatures knew that already. With curiosity in her eyes, she blinked at the two and sighed. " Yes? What? Why are you two staring at me with that strange expression? "
The pink cat shook her head. "I have indeed many questions, but we have time. The two of us need to make a proper spirit contract."
Kendra lowered her body and picked the cat up. "Spirit contract?"
The snake sighed. "That means that creature will grow powers together with you and when you pass the st boundary it will gain its human form and the contract will end there. Your powers will grow a tiny bit faster, but the two fluxes of energy will connect and the base of power will become steadier. I have no idea what happened to you, but you need a steady base. The cat is too weak, let us two do that."
Pink cat snorted. "My powers will become stronger with her, don't you worry."
"She needs someone like me that has a steady base and when she cultivates it will give her great benefits." The snake hissed at the tiny thing in Kendra's hands.
The pink cat hissed back. "But my kind evolves faster than yours and none of our masters ever failed with evolution."
The two started arguing while Kendra blinked here and there and suddenly coughed. The two creatures looked at her and she sighed. "So one of you has a stable basis and the other have the ability to stabilize my future progress?"
The two creatures stopped arguing and nodded.
"I don't see any problem contracting both of you. How do you do that? I mean the contract?" She looked between the two and smiled.
"You have to instil your own whisp of power into our body and we will do the same to you. The seal of the contract will appear and we just accept it." The snake smugly spoke first as she saw the cat just opening her mouth.
Actually, the pink cat had no idea how to deal with that as it was different where she came from. Seal? How interesting...
Kendra looked at the two of them and her face became dark. "Now, we have a big problem."
"What problem? This is the easiest contract in this world." The big snake curiously stared at her. This was the easy part of everything.

A sigh escaped Kendra's lips. "Yes, that seems quite simple, does it? But, what is a whisp of power?"
The pink cat suddenly held her head. "You..." Getting angry at someone who has no idea how power works is out of the question. She calmed down and slowly explained.
"You must concentrate and first cultivate power. After that, you can instil a tiny bit of that power in us." She tried yo explain, but as she never had a reason or need to teach anyone, her explanation became just that.
The snake just rolled her eyes and sarcastically hissed. "Wow. I wish I had hands to clap them..." Her words were seeping with sarcasm, but the pink cat just ignored it.
At the same time, Kendra remembered something from the past. She nibbled on her underlip and then smiled. "Yes, I think I know what I have to do. But I need dome place where no one will bother me. Is there such a thing?"
The snake nodded. "There is one small cultivation cave that has seals on it. It's perfect for such stuff."
Kendra almost started laughing. The cave that she had run away from, is the one she actually needed. So that is the reason that tiny creature brought her there?
