But no matter what, Kendra finished her food and felt invigorated. She already learned how to channel her energy straight to her Sea of Powers. With a happy expression, she touched the ice wall and it became seethrough.
Unfortunately, the storm was still raging outside making everyone his in fear. For a short moment, they completely forgot about the storm. They looked at Kendra that sniffled air and nodded. ''Soon we can leave. the storm is almost over.''
Suddenly an obnoxious voice could be heard. ''Hey, you. Stop for a moment.''
Everyone stopped and saw a woman in a s.e.xy outfit moving straight at Kendra. ''I just heard the pretty boys' words. If we are staying here, I want to eat your food as well. Ten spirit stones?''
Kendra shook her head. ''Cethin is a friend. So for him is ten. Anyone else fifty.''
Even her friends almost collapsed by such amount. Grace wanted to say something, but Bess stopped her. ''Trust her.'' Kendra already expected first 'customers'.
''Aren't you a bit too expensive?'' Even the woman was quite taken aback.
Kendra summoned a plate with food she just cooked and took a spoonful. ''Expensive? That is not really a problem if you like proper food. Taste it. For free.''
The woman rolled her eyes and just took the spoon. First, she smelled it and was already hungry again. But the scent doesn't mean that taste will be good enough. So she just put the food into his mouth and the taste almost exploded all her taste buds. ''This is fantastic!''
Just a small spoon of food made want more. Much more. ''Deal! But I want a full meal now!''
Kendra summoned a few plates with food and a big bowl with rice and smiled. ''First, the stones then the food.''
The woman waved her hand and summoned a whole fifty spirit stone in front of Kendra.
Fifty spirit stones! This was fifty spirit stones!!!
Everyones jaw dropped to the floor as they saw Kendra waving her hand and collecting the stones completely calm. She then looked at the woman. ''Next time please stand close when we eat. It will be easier to serve you the food. Only people at my table can eat the food I cook. Everyone helps, no matter if he or she paid or not. So, even tho you paid for food, but if you don't stay close, do not ask me for double portions by the next meal or such. Understood?''
The woman rose her head and sighed. ''I understand. Everyone has their own rules. I accept yours. As long as the food is this good, I'll do as you say.''
Kendra nodded. ''Good. Finish up. We are leaving soon. The storm will be finished soon.''
The woman sped up her pace and just a short time afterward, all plates were sparkly clean. With a wave of the hand, Kendra used water to wash it and summoned it into her space. She pointed at the wall. ''Fire users, melt it. It's time we leave.''
The table and chairs are gone and even her beautiful chair with a warm blanket disappeared.
Molok felt strange. Is he the leader or is she the leader? In the future, she will be an amazing task leader. Then he will follow her, no matter where she goes. Again another wave of coldness ht him, but this time it was from outside.
The storm was gone, but the icy wind was still blowing and Kendra waited just a bit before going out first. Then she looked towards the sky, touched with the ground and nodded. ''Wind will blow the next few moments and stop. We should hurry as long we can.''
Molok waved his hand and they started going out, but as they all stepped outside, they were stunned by the sight. The ice fell in a strange pattern and made him furrow his eyebrows. ''What is going on here?''
Cethin stepped forward. ''I think we came into the first array from begin. It was the first task. Survive the icy storm. The second should be to escape the labyrinth. Is there a time limit?''
Kendra pointed at the floating ball over their heads. ''Look. Doesn't it look like it is getting filled with something? I fear when it's full another storm will come and we might not pass this test. Shall we do the easy way?''
Everyone looked at her. She pointed at the tall ice pieces. ''Cethin, can you float up?''
He shook his head. ''No, but I think I know someone who can. Grace, you have wind ability. I'll help you with this. Float up and tell us directions. Hurry.''
Grace inhaled deeply and started floating up, but it was slow. Kendra looked at the rest of the group and then at Molok. He understood. ''Wind users, help her go up and hold her while she is high. She must stay up while we run. Understood?''
WInd users agreed and started pushing her with wind gusts up. As she was over the ice walls, she used wind ability to yell. ''Run! First right second left, quickly!''
As they rushed she told them on time where they should take turns and finally as soon they were out the walls crumbled down and the ball disappeared. But suddenly a strange thing happened. Everyone was transferred to a strange cave, including Grace that happily patted her chest. ''It is scary to be up. Ugh.''
Molok started loudly laughing. ''This is amazing!!! I heard about this but never expected to see it. It's Cave of Tasks!''
Kendra blinked at Bess that seemingly knew a lot and she was right.
Bess explained. ''Usually, the tasks need multiple tries to finish up. So they made a special cave to give gifts to cultivators as long they don't have anyone that is over the fourth boundary. It is hard to finish tasks on the first try. So this cave is like a treasury. Everyone in our group can take up to three items.''
Everyone heard her words and started cheering. Only one person was silent. Cethin...
