But before she went, she must to something else. Eat food. Even her stomach made it sure that she doesn't forget.

A long grumbling came out of her belly, making her blush. "Sorry. But first I need food."

She looked around and found many dried branches and even big dry trunk so she gathered it together, added a bunch of dried grass and started applying the bit of knowledge how to light a fire. 

Trying hitting different stones and then giving up as none produced sparks, then rubbing the dried branch to the tree and giving up. Lastly, she remembered something she saw on the survivor program she saw once on TV and tried that. 

Strangely it worked fast. With a smile, she looked at the tiny glowing inkling and started blowing so it would turn into a real fire. 

The two creatures calmly looked at her busing herself with that and knew that they couldn't even help her. So they just waited. As the girl finally turned her fire, even both of them were surprised, is that how humans do it? 

"You ate strange cultivator. Why font you just use fire spell?" The snake curiously looked at her.

Kendra suddenly felt annoyed. "I... am... not... a... cultivator. I just came to this world and have no idea how to use powers. Stop asking questions and go hunt."

The snake blinked at her and just turned yo leave. The pink cat snickered. "Then I have a chance to become her only spirit animal?"

''Don't even dream about it. I'll be back. I can do something you can't. I can hunt.'' The snake rushed away and almost disappeared when she heard the pink cat yelling.

''Don't use poison!'' The tiny yell was barely loud, but the snake could hear it. That creature still think I look stupid, or what? With annoyance, she rushed away while the pink cat came close to Kendra and looked at her carefully.

No wonder that idiot is so into her. She is cute even as a child when she grows up. To bad my child is not worthy enough. She is too good for him. I will treat her good for eternity as she chose him over such a hunk. Marcus was his name, right?

Kendra saw the little cat staring at her. ''Do you have a name?''

The pink cat was about to tell her true name but then shook her head. It's not time yet. ''I have a true name, but I'll tell you when I turn into a human. Until then, please give me the name you like.''

''Hmmmm. You are pink and I would usually call you Pinkie. But as you are sweet and cute I chose another name. Taffy.'' Kendra just chuckled. She gave her the name of a candy. But she truly looked like a pink cloud. She should be lucky she didn't call her cotton candy.

''Taffy. Fine. It's easy to remember.'' Taffy was suddenly very happy about the name.

While she tried to get used to her new name, Kendra looked at the white wood and realized it was not wood. ''Bone? What kind of animal has such uneven bones? Poor creature.''

Taffy stopped repeating her name in her head and looked closer the stave Kendra found. ''This? It's tail of a lizard. They throw away their tails every time they are in danger. Its the thin ending bone so it looks like this. Don't you worry. The ending of Seven Head lizard had usually spikes so the uneven spots were probably those spikes.''

Kendra tried to imagine it, but couldn't. ''Does that poor creature really has seven heads?''

''Why poor creature?'' Taffy wondered as she thought about the dangerous animal.

''That creature is probably highly irritable and aggressive, isn't it?'' Kendra looked at Taffy and she nodded.

Taffy was truly surprised. ''How did you know?''

''Dragging huge needle ball behind and having seven heads that are never silent. The creature must feel uncomfortable all the time.'' Kendra patted the bone stave with a sorrowful expression. ''I am sorry for your pain.''

Taffy saw Kendra's sad face and her heart felt hurt for her. This child knows compassion. I need to make her think of something else. "The food thing is that lizard throw away his tail when its too heavy, so don't worry. But do you know why they chose the tip of the tail?"

In her heart, Kendra felt little lighter as that creature at least didn't have to live with it whole life. "What could be the reason?"

Her curious eyes looked at the white structure in wonder. Even tho it was uneven, the surface felt smooth under fingers. 

Taffy pointed at the tip of it. "The spirit stone that is inlaid probably has other spirit stones inside. Not many people know this, but the tip of that creatures bone has space in it. The creature uses the tip yo store bunch of its needles, but when its empty he discards the whole thing and grow another tail in just one night. Amazing, right?"

Kendra was astonished. "How often do the creatures lose their tails?"

Taffy thought about it. "Uhm. I think once or twice in their lifetime. They live for a long time and don't go far from their lair. Usually they lice freely and have no natural enemies, it's only that they are quite annoyed by visitors."

Kendra patted its tail. "I wish the creatures would be born with fewer heads so it won't have such a headache. Bit explain about space. How to use it?"

"Just think of space. It's not a big thing to do. Even commoners can use it as its space attached to the object." Taffy calmly explained and Kendra understood.

But what happened next made even Taffy lose the composure. 

"How... how did you do this?" Usually, only one person could see the space, but in their case, they are inside... Both.

Kendra just shrugged. "You told me to think of separate space do I did. Strange, you can breathe inside?"

"Breathe?" Taffy just realized what she said and inhaled. "How is this possible? And why is it so large inside?"

But that did not the end of surprises...
