Kendra looked at the tiny creature in her hand. ''Now tell me, what is really going on?'' Her worried eyes could almost deep into his soul and he coughed.

''Actually, there is a trouble with a friend of mine. She got in trouble and almost died. Now I am trying to help her recover, but she stumbles into dangerous situations over and over again. But I can't be by her side the whole time.'' He had the stuff to do. Some of his creations are behavings strange lately and he was worried about that as well. ''And the work I do is very important for this world. But some things just don't seem right and always fail. I know I am doing it properly, so I worry...'' 

So many weird things happened in the last couple of months. He is getting more and more worried. He looked at her and was rethinking about giving her the ability to recover her memories quickly, but gave up. Her growth could be literally seen. It seems her powers are really so great. 

Looking at his worried eyes striving the gray sky, while he thought about all the things he had a problem with, she found him quite cute. So she tried to talk to him. No matter if the idea was good or bad, it was his choice, in the end, to do what he thinks its the best for everyone.

''About your friend... I know this will sound crazy, but if you protect her the whole time from danger, how wills he learn what is right or wrong. She needs to learn from failures. I don't say you should stop protecting her, just let her fail. That is the only way for her to learn. Sometimes overprotection is more harmful. About your work-related things. Do you have enemies at work? Or sort of enemies at all? Maybe they have done some underhanded methods to destroy what you worked for so long.'' Such things happened in her youth and then at work often. 

So no matter what world, there are always those people that can't watch other people's happiness and prosperity. 

Something clicked in her head and a strange picture of a bunch of bugs coming out living creature made her suddenly squirm. That is just nasty...

Tak didn't see her grimacing in disgust. He still was thinking about her words and then about what he should do. ''Never mind. I will find a way. But the talk to you helped me indeed somewhat. Thank you.''

Kendra smiled and pointed at the sea. ''I am going to swim. Before that, should I stay in the cave or go back to school?''

His eyes bulged when he saw what she was pointing at and started shaking. ''You... you want to swim in THAT?''

The snow was falling around thems lowly making the whole surroundings completely white. The trees were bare of their leaves so the crowns of the trees had snow instead of it. In many places, there were shiny icicles shiny and the only thing that looked comforting was completely seethrough water in the lake where strange fishes slowly swam.

The icy wind made the snowflakes flurry and normal humans would shake under its coldness only by standing there. But Kendra's ice ability and resistance were so high that it didn't matter at all. She looked a the lake that had small waves produced by the naughty winter wind and smiled ta him. 

''I come here every day to make my body and water power stronger. What is wrong with that?'' She couldn't understand his surprise. Didn't he already know she had these powers?

He summoned the Eye but then unsummoned it. ''No. I won't be curious until you didn't bring all the powers to the first boundary. Only your water power past that bridge, no other powers as well. Stay in the cave until all the powers become strong enough. Then go back to school.''

That was the only way for him to make sure that she got a real base of powers. He blinked and could see her Sea of Powers shining completely blue and sighed. ''Your ice powers are overpowering other abilities. No good. Train them to be the same strength. No matter how much it takes. I am going. And yes, next time call me only if you are in real danger. Ok?''

She nodded and suddenly he just disappeared in sparkles, while she naughtily licked the rest of them. ''Still tastes sweet to me.''

With a smile on her face, she took her clothes off and had only her long underwear on her body. With a sigh, she jumped into the water. This might be the last time she swims here this winter. After all, she must start growing her other powers as well.

But from time to time won't be a bad idea.... right?

Kendra dived into icy cold water and stopped in the middle of the lake, letting her body float in comfortably. She sat on the stone while her long silvery hair waved around her face and body. Somehow she realized she could breathe under the water and it was not even uncomfortable. 

She closed her shiny eyes and started concentrating as her staff appeared in front of her. It slowly started making circles around her almost like a wall not letting animals, fishes nor any other creatures come near her as she cultivated.

Yes. She didn't come here for fun. Cultivating water and ice ability in mid of the coldest lake was her idea. At first, it was really hard for her to be inside longer than a couple of minutes. But the time of her resistance became longer and longer.

Now she just sat there, almost like a comfortable statue. Her hands were leaned back on the stone where she sat, while her face was calmly straight, seemingly looking to the other side of the lake. Her two feet swung playfully like she was somewhere on the beach, trying to instill some sunshine into her body and not in ice lake where the light came from far above. Even tho the water was crystal clear, but the day was murky so the light deep down was already dim.

Her comfortable expression could be seen from far and indeed... it was seen.
