Lord Daruvar was maybe messy, but he was actually one of the people that everyone listened.
"Take out a few blocks of wood and control fire, bring some dry branches, it will be easier. Rest of you prepare for dinner."
They didn't fear any dangerous animals as this was one of those forests where beginners could go, gather some herbs and plants and do their tasks.
Usually, only larger groups dared to do gathering task in the Giant Valley. The problem was, it was strictly forbidden to use any kind of powers there. But creatures had powers. So it was quite dangerous.
Kendra had no time to think about such things as she pointed at the table. "Cut the carrots and premade tattoos and put into clean water in those two pots."
She already prepared pots for the vegetables and Lumin came forward to wash it. Claus just rolled his eyes and came near Lord Daruvar with a smile. "I fear your friend is interested in that child as well."
Lord Daruvar shrugged. "As long he doesn't anger her, I don't care. Trust me, I can feel her anger and it was terrifying. I fear the stronger she gets, the scarier she will grow. Let's hope I'm wrong."
Claus turned his eyes towards the little girl and sighed. "Since I first met her, she looks like someone I met before in my life. But I have no idea who."
Lord Daruvar patted his shoulder. "Don't worry about it. Sometimes not knowing your own family is better. Think about Rory's family. Those bothersome people..."
Both of them shook their heads and turned attention towards the girl that happily spoke to Bes and Kendra. Her light brown skin and her honeyed eyes were a sign of people on the north. She had strange light brown hair with red translucence and it made her look like she is ready to fight any time.
But those that knew her was aware of the pain and suffering she had. Actually, she was just loud but had a good heart. That is why they accepted her just as she is.
Rorry listened to Kendra's words. "Food needs many things. You can't just fill everything together at the same time and just cook. Everything needs its own time. I realized just a moment ago that cultivation is like cooking."
Her words were not loud but everyone could hear her and were surprised by her words. What does cooking have to do with cultivation?
"Time and patience. Everything needs time and patience." Kendra smiled at Bes and pulled her closer to the big pot. "Do you smell it?"
Bes sniffed and looked at her. "Just fresh meat."
Kendra pulled now Rorry and made her do the same. Rorry had the same answer. "Fresh meat."
Kendra chuckled and then became serious. "Every dish needs its own time. I fry meat first to give the stew a special taste. But, you can put meat afterwards and stew will have a completely different sub taste. Let's first fry it properly."
As she cooked she spoke loud enough and even few men looked at it with interest. When they travelled they needed food to eat, but usually just stuffed all together and cooked it until it's done.
Kendra sighed. "I am a newcomer but even I got to know that space can hold stuff unchanged. Don't you know?"
Bes suddenly started laughing. "Oh, hahaha. I just realized what you said. Aren't we all dumb?"
Few people looked at her angrily. "What do you mean? Who are you calling dumb?"

Lord Daruvar rose his hand and they calmed down. With a strict face, he looked at Bes angrily. "What do you mean by that?"
With a smile, she shook her head. "I meant everyone so far, not you particularly."
Lord Daruvar rose an eyebrow and rubbed his temples. "Explain..."
"Kendra is right. Nothing in space dies or rot. Wouldn't that mean that cold things stay gold and warm things warm?" She blinked at him.
Everyone understood. So did Lord Daruvar. "You mean we could have just taken with us warm food and used it when we need it?"
He looked at Bes then at Kendra.
Kendra chuckled. "Don't tell me, no one ever got that idea before? I had that idea from the start. Its like preservation place. Why do you think I'd leave all this meat in space?"
On her face was no mocking or reproach just simple fact and a straight face. She really meant it that way.
Suddenly Taffy jumped near her and pointed at the river. "Spirit fish! Kendra, if you catch spirit fish, you can exchange it for something."
Kendra shook her head. "Thank you cutie, but my space is almost full of those few giant vegetables. I won't have space to take it inside."
Taffy blinked at her in wonder but then understood. Everyone spoke about small space, if they knew how big is her space, it will be quite complicated.
With a sigh, she swung her tail and looked at flabbergasted people. "What are you looking at? I'm her spirit animal, if you people want one, go get that fish!"
She climbed Kendra's back swiftly and sat on her shoulder. As her body was truly tiny, she looked like a cute ornament.
Bes stated at Taffy with shiny eyes and then at Draga that was next to Kendra. "You... you have two spirit animals?"
"Yeees?" Kendra made her answer long and looked at her in confusion. "Is it against some rule?"
Lord Daruvar was astonished himself as he understood what just happened. This child is truly obvious. "It's not against rules, we just never saw anyone have more than one."
"Oh." Kendra just shrugged. "These two even argued who will become my spirit animal, so I made a proposal that both become. And they accepted."
Literally everyone's mouth dropped to the floor while she was calmly looking at the meat. As she ignored their stairs she turned her eyes towards Bes and pointed at meat.
"Its time. Now smell again and tell me what do you think."
