This is the original book by JennyS. Please support me by reading it at .com. Thank you in advance :)

The stench just hit them as soon she near them, so they backed off away from her. They completely forgot about that.

"Is it that bad?" Kendra knew it was bad, but seeing their motion she knew it is indeed as horrible as she suspected. She looked behind them and saw the slow pacing river. 

Luckily it was just end of summer but jot fall yet so the water and temperatures were not freezing cold. Without thinking twice she jumped into it and felt instantly comfortable.

Indeed. She really liked the water.

She already knew her preference for water when she jumped into the cold lake. In comparison, the water in the river was almost warm. 

She quickly took off her clothes and remembered the strange plant. She took it out and squeezed a bit of gooey substance out and started rubbing it onto her own body and hair.

After some time she could see that her body became squeaky clean and used the rest of the substance to wash her clothes. 

She already put another set of clothes and a simple robe. She was about to let them dry by the river when Draga sighed. ''Your power is water. Try extracting water from the clothes.''

Kendra looked at the water and then at Draga with big eyes. ''How?''

''You remember how you concentrated to gather the power whisps? Now try to concentrate on the water power in the wet clothes and try pushing it out the clothes. Trust me.'' Draga closed her eyes and as she was her spirit animal she was directly connected to her Sea of powers. ''Look that tiny blue whisp. It looks sleepy, but in the water there are countless. If you connect the other blue whisp's your power will rise. So you gain two benefits. You can cultivate and dry your clothes. Just try.''

Kendra had no other option and do as she Draga said. But it was easier said than done. She tried to concentrate but no matter how much she tried, it didn't work out, so she just gave up.

Suddenly a voice could be heard behind them.

"We wanted to be quiet and let you try, hit it's too painful to watch. I know you as snake think it's easy, but humans have a different way of thinking. Little girl, you definitely need training. Both of you." The young man came out of the bushes and was followed by a group of people from before. "Claus, please help her with drying. Mina and Lony should set camp, this is not a bad place."

Suddenly two dozen people became busy and not long after Kendra saw with big eyes how they set up a camp. 

Mina moved her hands and a bunch of dry wood was piled up. As Lony came forward, summoned small fireball and helped her with fire.

Few people started taking out their space bags all kind of stuff, making Kendra completely astonished. Tent? Food? There are other space bags?

"I thought space is rare." She whispered to Draga. 

"They are or rich or did some big quests and tasks for those bags. You'll understand when you get to the human settlement." Draga hissed back and almost smiled as the curious young woman approached Kendra.

"Hello. My name is Bes. What is your name?" She rose her hand in front of her with a friendly smile.

"My name is Kendra." Kendra held her hand and smiled as well. 

Bes suddenly held her hands with both hands. "Let's be friends. I'll help you with any questing you might have."

Kendra looked at the girl and nodded. "Then I'll give you a chance."

Her words were quite strange but Bes chose to ignore it. What cultivator is not a bit weirdo. Even her own brother and herself could be considered weird. 

Kendra suddenly felt happy. In the past world, people were splitting apart because of the way they looked or because of the faith they had. But looking at the bunch of people with all kind of mixed background, she knew she can live more freely.

Bes looked at her in wonder as she saw tears gathering in these girls eyes. It seems she was really lonely. "Now, now. Don't worry. As it seems I'm older than you, so I'll become your big sister. Come, from now on we are your family."

Kendra opened her mouth to tell her she misunderstood but gave up as she saw these girls happy smile. Her big brown eyes looked at her warmly, so she had no heart to deny her the request.

Is she honest, or not, the time will show. Actually she found Bes quite beautiful. Long black braids covered her back and her brown skin glowed under the shine of fire almost golden. 

She turned her head towards the young man and realized that the only difference between these two people were eyes.

While Bes had golden-brown eyes, the young man had strikingly blue eyes. His masculine face and warm smile made him look quite attractive. No wonder the group of female cultivators always swirled around him like a moth's around the light. 

"He must be your brother or relative." Kendra looked at Bes with a calm smile and saw her surprised expression.

Actually, most of the people in the group had similar features, so Bes got astonished. "How did you know? Wait, not even they know we are related as we hide that fact."

Now was Kendra's turn to be astonished. "Why do you hide it?" She couldn't understand.

"That is because my parents got me long after he was born. He is how already seventh boundary and is worried that some people would have strange thoughts just to get him involved. You don't know how politicians work, or nobles, or other cultivators. Actually he joined us today in such a small task only because of me. He usually goes and does big tasks." She took out the small bag and chuckled.

Kendra's expressions are hilarious.
