"I'm alive. By the way, did we fail?" She was clearly in mid of meadow and it looked perfectly normal. ---.--- (Just wondering for how long these bots will copy my book?)

"We didn't fail." Bess staggered towards her and kneeled right next. "We saw you falling took you with us and jumped just before the next wave of water came. But as soon we entered we had to run as we were straight attacked by bunch of red ants." This is safety pod, but look what ants do with rest of the place..."

They were literally in mid of red ant attack. The ants tried anyway to enter this place but had to walk around as it seems the runes were really stinky to them. 

It was huge. The own pod was as huge as one football field, more or less. But whole place was even bigger. 

Even from here she could see next pod. And it was twice as big as this one, but had no plants. Kendra shook her head. Let us rest for one or two days. 

"You all rest, while I finally prepare that barbeque I promised while ago." Everyone started laughing and just summoned blankets on soft grass and laid down. Not long after deep sound of sleeping, snoring and coughing could be heard while she started barbeque. 

Done meat she let in space so everyone could eat it hot when they wake up. Not long after, she finished up and chose to join them. 

Couple hours later everyone grogily at some warm stew and went back to sleep. The barbeque can wait until they all wake up. 

The night passes and Kendra saw everyone awake and greedily looking at her. "Shouldn't we eat this for lunch?"

But everyone agreed it was anyway late for breakfast. With a wave of her hand she summoned table with plates and then whole bunch of food. "Then let's eat."

They had food, drinks and someone even took alcohol out his space bag, making Kendra roll her eyes. This was already seventh world. 

As it seems, this place is connected to the waterway before. No wonder there was no safety pods. 

She looked at nearby mountain that had huge amounts of water flowing out of under huge pressure. If this continues, this place will be flooded soon. 

"Everyone rested?" She could see that the red ants became nervous. They didn't stop to cut grass or take the dead carcasses. As it seems the water is really rising. 

They saw her pointing at certain direction and everyone paled. Water slowly was rising. 

"We need to run. Fire users, summon fireballs, quickly!" She summoned fire circle and ants just passed them. 

Kendra just chose to follow ants instead of going from one pod to the other. Miles of open space and sound behind them didn't sound very nice. 

Strangely the ants stopped after a while and still let them go trough, while they rushed away. Suddenly a voice could be heard. "Hold right there!"

Humongous red ant queen stepped in their way she looked at them and spoke. "I can feel familiar energy and hope you can understand me."

"We can. Tell us your request." Kendra knew that this creature wouldn't stop them for nothing. 

"If you stop water until all my people are in safety, I'll show you something you will never forget. And no, we do not eat meat. Just plants. Hurry!" The Queen of ants rose one of her legs and her voice was filled with urgency. 

Kendra saw the water arriving and took the potions out. "Let's freeze it for a while. I'm sure that pressure will break it after while, but we can help them save their kind. Quickly."

Queen of ants was surprised. This is not first time creatures like that came to this place, but this is first time she could talk to them. 

She screeched and ants started rising up the steep walls. While she stared in worry at her family she saw the group of soft ones were doing their best to slow down the tide.

First they froze the first water and then froze the next water and then next, rising it up like wall, but she knew too well that this place will be full with water and only walls could be somewhat safe. 

Kendra saw the creature climbing walls and made quick decision. "Nature users make plates on walls for us to climb. Mind users go first. Earth users make earth walls and go up second. Wind users right after them. Nature users go next and will start helping with rising rest of us up to the safety. Queen of ants, tell them where is safest to place safety pods."

Queen of ants saw most of her people in safety and pointed at black line. "Usually water go up to that line."

Kendra just glanced up and nodded. "Nature users, make pods thirty meters higher. Hurry!"

She gave each a potion and the Queen of ants blinked at them as they drank it. Interesting! 

Kendra at same time gave potions to water users and tried her best to freeze the incoming water. They slowly stepped back and as on end only them eight were left, she made an order. Quickly climb up. Anil, summon cloud for me. Hurry!"

The cultivators got pulled up by others, while Kendra started slowly floating up while using her spirit power to control water mass. She could already hear crack in ice wall and her heart became scared for a second. 

That second was enough for her spirit power to become unsteady and she knew it was too late to stop anything. So with last power push she used wind under the cloud to push her faster up.

Just before she reached safety the walls broke up and...
