While they were discussing her, Kendra didn't care much about them. She wanted to find the perfect spot to cultivate and her cave was anyway from the other side of the valley, so she needed a new one.
"Top of a hill or mountain. I always liked how the sky would fill with all kind of colours and nuances before the light disappears, leaving the comforting darkness behind." Kendra smiled when she spoke those words, making Taffy proud but Draga became serious.
"Why do you feel that darkness is comforting?" Darkness was something most creatures feared.
She could see Kendra smiling brightly. "Light is bringing all kind of life forms to thrive with life, but if there is only light where will be comfortable shade? What about sleep? Humans are quite adaptable to situations. But what about other living things? Can plants or other creatures survive only living in the light? Many creatures will die. Same is with darkness. Only those that can adapt to such extremes would be able to survive. But why only surviving? Why can't we just enjoy and live? Everything has two sides of the story. Good isn't always good, and the same is with the bad. Sometimes good is bad and bad is good. But we have to make choices at the end. As long as our choices do not destroy or harm others, then it's fine. Right?"
Those words made both creatures think. So everyone has their own way to think who is bad and who is good, but in the end only those that don't harm others can be accepted? Draga sighed. This child had such thoughts even in such a young age. No wonder.
Taffy narrowed her eyes. This snake has some deeper thoughts about Kendra, but why does she feel a certain feeling of loss from her?
The feeling suddenly disappeared as Draga turned her head to Taffy. Both of them looked at each other for a fleeting moment, but it was enough for Taffy to understand one thing. Draga cared about Kendra just as much she did. That was the most important.
"Look at that." Kendra pointed at a huge flat stone that was on top of the hill.
As she stepped on it a beautiful view opened up in front of her. Under them was an open valley filled with countless flowers in different colours. She could see deer's comfortably walking and grassing. One side of the valley was enclosed with tall trees and bushes, while the other side had a big river.
On the other side of the river, there is flat land that went on until the horizon. Far away on the right side of the horizon, she could see the shape of a high mountain range.
She pointed at it. "Are we going left or right?''
"We are going to the mountains. That school he was talking about lies between two mountains. Before the school is the big settlement I was telling you about." Draga rolled her body on one side of the stone while she left enough space for Kendra and Taffy on the other side.
This time it was even raster to do the spirit connection than with Draga as she already knew what to do. But just like with Draga she made sure that it was Taffy's free will to do it.
As soon they connected, she felt that surge of power again and smiled. "With the energy from before and now, I can cultivate until night. Let's start right now."
She closed her eyes and could feel a humongous amount of energy surrounding her. As she concentrated only at one Spirit wh.i.p.s at the time it took her long until she gathered just a dozen of it.
Her body felt uncomfortable, so she opened her eyes and realized it was already almost completely dark. Her body was completely wet, so she pointed at the river.

"I need to have a bath. I sweated too much." She looked at her arm and could see water and strange gooey stuff on her. "What is this? This is seriously nasty."
Taffy sniffed at it and the strange nasty smell hit her senses. "Your body is cleansing of all impurities." But how did she to that? She cleansed her bone and marrow. How?
"Well done. Now your bone and marrow are clean, but you will need to clean the rest of your body as well. But we can do that when we go back to the cave. Hop on my back. You need a bath." Draga waited until Kendra didn't climb onto her back and then rushed towards the river as fast as she could. The awful smell was making her crazy.
Taffy this time was running after them. Draga was in wonder. Such a small thing is fast even without speed skill.
Almost as she could read her mind, Taffy scoffed. "I am a cat. Let me evolve, and then we shall see who's faster."
After saying those words Taffy speeded up and started running head on head with Draga that was strangely fired up.
What they forgot was Kendra that was sitting on Draga's back and as they started rushing, she slid down unnoticed and started running after them.
With a smile she saw them competing who is faster, leaving her alone behind. But she didn't mind. After all, the smell on her body was truly unpleasant.
As she rushed behind the sound, she noticed one plant on her way. Why is it familiar?
She stopped by the plant and was amazed by the smell. It looked like aloe but with a flowery scent. Without thinking twice she took a knife and cut a few of those huge leaves and rushed away.
Luckily Draga's heavy body left a path between trees and bushes, so she could find her way to the river without any trouble.
But as she arrived there she saw a big and small creature staring at each other and started laughing. "You two are truly amazing. Leaving me alone behind. What did you say is the reason I made a spirit contract to the two of you?"
Just then they snapped out of it and realized what happened. In their rush, they didn't even realize that she went missing. What if something happened to her?
They wanted to explain but suddenly froze...
