"Who are you calling old, you little whisp!" Taffy hissed as she heard his words.

"Cute old... cat. By the way, how comes you are in this form?" He was truly curious. Such an old creature should be something ferocious, like a dragon or something.

"Why not? My kind are shapeshifters. We can assume any shape. I just like cat form. And Kendra likes it." Taffy chuckled as she remembered how Kendra reacted when she saw her. Or him.

He rolled his eyes. "That girl really loves hairy things. So, cat, can you change your form into something else?"

He slowly walked around her, making circles and curiously sizing her up.

"No." Her answer visible stunned him.

"What? But you said you are a shapeshifter. How comes you can't change your shape?" He sat in front of her and blinked with his big eyes.

A sigh escaped her chest. "I am indeed shapeshifter. As one I can make choice what shape I wanna be. But, this time I have a spirit contract with Kendra. I can evolve and chose a better form next time. But until I leave the world, I can change only in evolution. I think she made this world so strict just in case some of the higher ones won't overuse their powers."

"So when you rise to the tenth boundary you will be able to use initial powers?" He saw her nodding and snorted. "She let my people keep ALL their powers."

Taffy was not angry. Actually, she happily smiled at him. "Truly? Good, very good!"

Her whole body shook in excitement and made him wonder. "What are you so happy about?" He just couldn't understand. Should she be angry?

"You little fool. I'm in this shape and don't have much power. Draga and Noa are just nearing their first evolution. We are many now, but truly speaking we are quite weak. With you here, I can be relived in case something or someone stronger attacks her." Her eyes became black again. "I can feel danger, but as my powers are too little, I can't feel from where."

Cyan Jade looked up to the Moon. "Mother did all she could to protect me and to make me grow up in a good family. But those two are about to have their own offspring. That offspring is first of his kind, so it really needs lots of their love and attention. Truly speaking I saw them more pike babysitters than parents and they know it. But she is different. Her love and care are immeasurable. For the lowly ones to try to harm her, do they think they can when I'm around? Tsk, I wouldn't be ancient if I let her be harmed." He patted his chest with his paw and made Taffy smile brightly.

"Yes, with protector by her side, it will be hard for them to harm her. And when her powers grow high, she will destroy than all. Right?" Taffy only joked, but Cyan Jade meant it really. 

His eyes became shiny as he nodded. "When mother gets her powers back, she will paw paw paw them all."

"Huh? She will do what?'' Taffy saw Cyan Jade turning around and going inside. "Wait, she will do what? Paw... Paw???"

But Jo matter how much she asked, Cyan Jade just shrugged and jumped onto the bed where Kendra slept, found a perfect place near her arm and closed his eyes. Before falling asleep he whispered. "Paw, paw, paw..."

As she had no idea what he was talking about, Taffy gave up and made herself comfortable on Kendra's feet and fell asleep as well.

All the spirit animals slept deeply, while a pair of shiny rainbow eyes opened for a moment and closed as well. A tiny smile appeared on Kendra's lips and dissipated like it was never there.

Days passed, weeks and months. As nature fell into deep winter and snow covered the trees, the ground, the hills and lakes, Kendra came out of the spirit cave and smiled brightly. "I'll go take a bath."

Her spirit animals shook by the thought of swimming by this weather. But Kendra loved it. 

The ice-cold lake was never frozen to her wonder. A strong wind made fluffy snowflakes fly around her in circles, but she was not impressed. Since she broke trough the first boundary, she found out that her water power became quite strong. 

It was initially string, but now it was stronger. Her ice resistance made her curious and excited. She wanted to try it out. 

On such a freezing day to take an ice bath, wouldn't that be amazing? Her heart was pounding hard as she slid over soft snow. 

She combined water and wind power to float at just a couple of millimeters above the soft and fluffy snow. It was far from flying but better than walking in the snow. Right?

Kendra smiled brightly as she saw Cyan Jade doing the same thing, while the other three just shook their heads and went back inside. 

Snakes hated winter and Taffy had no wish to moisten her fur. Actually, she hated anyway anything that had yo do with water. 

So when she traveled, she always tried to avoid the water worlds. Even tho she was a shapeshifter and could just use the shape of an aquatic creature, she hated it.

"Snow... Those two are just too crazy." Taffy shook her head and sighed. 

A couple of days ago Kendra told them that she broke trough the first boundary while ago. Since then she started using her powers to try them out.

She could already feel that the cave was truly meant only for cultivators under the first boundary as the cultivation slowly ceased the higher her powers went. 

"Soon I will go to the city." Kendra looked at the cute purple animal and became serious. "I need to ask you for a favor."

Cyan Jade slowed down and glanced at her. "If I can help please tell me." 

Kendra nodded. "You can." Her eyes concentrated in front of her. "Call Tak, I know you can."

He suddenly stopped. That voice...
