She took leftover warm water and took one old cloth and started wishing the cave floor. As the stone quickly got dry, she put the thick bedding on the floor and cover. 

Draga was directly on the door to the cave. And Taffy jumped into her bed, snuggled with her on the bedding and started purring. The constant sound made Kendra go deeper into sleep and relax entirely. 

Draga opened one eye and whispered. "Your skill is quite amazing. Too bad it doesn't work on me. I wish I could sleep do happily like the child."

With soft paws, Taffy stroke Kendra's face and sighed. "Poor child. I can give her at least some good sleep. The resonance was perfect. But, you know she is right. She needs to group her physical powers as well."

Draga opened widely her mouth while yawning. Two sharp teeth flashed by the growing light. "Why do you think I will bring her to the next bigger settlement and not to the nearby village? She needs to use her body and speed skill. Every skill she has, she will need to use it in the future to survive." 

"I know. Are you tired?" Taffy stretched as much as she could and looked at the awakened forest.

"I'll rest a bit and then go hunting. If she goes to the next bigger settlement, she will need things to exchange for human food. I know where the second-grade white fox sleeps. I'll catch her alive and she can take her to the settlement and sell as spirit pet to one of those humans. White foxes are rare." Draga spoke slower and slower and then stopped. From her side, a tiny humming snore could be heard and Taffy closed own eyes as well.

The day is long. They could go to that place day after. White fox? White... fox... 

Her mind drifted off and she fell asleep as well.

The day became brighter. Kendra sleepily opened her eyes as the sunshine shone directly into her face. "Uhhh, I sleep so well. Where is Draga?"

Taffy stretched her body and paws, while she looked at the empty spot by the door. "She told me she will go and find second-grade white fox that you can exchange for your necessities."

"Second grade? White fox? Can you please explain?" She had no idea what Taffy was talking about so she beggingly looked at her.

"Animals become spirit animals as soon as they gain some intelligence. There are ten grades of spirit animals before they don't evolve. Draga is the ninth grade, I'm just fifth. And when she evolves she will need again ten grades to evolve again to the dragon and then again ten..." Taffy's mouth became dry as she explained and she started coughing. "Anyway, it will take us a bunch of time to level up to the human form."

"Got it." Kendra rose both thumbs up. "Is it same for humans?"

Taffy sighed. "It is not the same. Similar."

As the tiny cat explained she got herself into contradictions the more she explained. Kendra just listened to her without commenting. She somehow believed the cat but thought that she got woozy by trying to explain, so she made so many strange mistakes. Cultivators need decades to cultivate boundaries, creatures need decades to cultivate their spirit grades, but she can brake trough ten boundaries in just century or two? 

Do they think she is God? Never mind, the days to come will be interesting.

Suddenly, there was a strange commotion outside. The two of them peeked out and saw a big snake trying to restrain white fox, without killing it.

Kendra could see something Dtaga didn't consider and rushed out. "Both of you, stop right now!"

White fox froze. This human speaks her language. She saw Kendra rushing her way and with a smile patting her head.

Draga almost spewed blood as she heard Kendra's next words. "Sorry about this. Draga was just trying to help me. Are you OK? Did she hurt you a lot?"

White fox shook her head. She was a second-grade beast and understood Klara bit she still couldn't speak. After the fifth grade, the creatures can talk.

Usually, they can talk only to the cultivators they contract with. But Kendra was special. 

White fox could see Kendra's calm face, but warm eyes and walked towards her. Then she laid down on her back and showed her belly.

Kendra softly patted her belly and nodded. "I know. That is why I stopped Drags. Go back to your babies. You probably need to feed them."

The white fox stood up and was about yo turn when suddenly a huge piece of meat was under her face. She looked at Kendra in wonder.

"Humans are dangerous. Be careful. Take the meat and eat some, you need food to produce milk for your babies. I'll be around this cave this year, so I hope to see you again. But as I say, be careful. OK?" Kendra gave her meat and smiled while she looked at the white fox running away.

"Why did you let her go?" Draga stared at her with a flabbergasted expression.

A sigh escaped Kendra's smiling lips. "Drags, I understand your intentions. And thank you. But she has babies. I could see it even from far. If I had to hold onto her only to earn a few pennies, I would be cruel. Humans have something called compassion. I need to teach you."

Draga just lowered her head. She could hear slight reprimand out Kendra's voice. "I just wanted you to buy human necessities. I cab always find a way to survive, but humans are weak. They need other things, not only meat."

She lived already a hundred years and she was certain to know a bit about humans. 

Kendra hugged her and chuckled. "I understand your heart, but I have another idea. Those chickens, bring me to their nests."

She had an idea and her eyes flashed...
