Kendra looked down at her stomach and held it. Isaa looked down and started laughing at her own tummy joined the sound of growling.
Everyone started laughing as Kendra"s and Isaa"s growls continued. "It seems that two of you seem to be hungry. Hmmm. Kendra, is there something you want to eat?"
Kendra nodded. Meira in last life always cooked for her before her death. She missed all the good food.
Meira patted her head and went into the kitchen followed by Isaa and Kendra. Lais, Ta.s.sio and Marcus stayed outside as the kitchen was more kitchette. Really small.
Meira looked around and thought about food as she saw the hungry look on their faces. maybe something fast, or can you wait for a bit?"
Kendra and Isaa nodded at the same time. "We can wait. But, I guess we should give you the vegetables we prepared for the trip." Kendra took out the s.p.a.ce storage small mountain of vegetables and smiled at Meira"s baffled expression. She looked at her innocently and smiled again. Meira smelled the vegetables and was so surprised that even her mouth went open.
"These vegetables...How is this even possible? They have the power inside? Do they lose power when they are cooked?" She asked questions quickly staring first at the mountain of vegetables than at the two people.
"Meira, you need to know one thing. The vegetables... there is more if it." Kendra winked at her and then started sorting it out with the help of Isaa.
"I will make stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, meatb.a.l.l.s, mixed fried rice with vegetables, red sauce, brown sauce, filled mushrooms, fried fish, meat pie, lemon pie, a cake, I will bring some ice..." She wanted to make ice cream, but suddenly a pot with strawberry ice cream appeared on Kendra"s hands. She approached slowly and took a spoon in walking.
She put full spoon if strawberry ice cream into her mouth and the delicious taste spread and hit all her nerves. Luckily for her, she is a power user, or she would get quota a headache from so much ice.
She slowly enjoyed the spoonful of ice cream but shook her head when Kendra offered her more. "No dear. Let"s start cooking. Get the vegetables out and let those three last people cut them in pieces." She explained what she wanted.
Isaa and Kendra listened and took out the vegetables. They explained everything to them and they started doing so. They got used to such actions as Kendra often cooked on their way.
When Kendra came back, she saw Meira preparing to cook. "Meira, the vegetables have quite amount of energy. To keep the energy, I cook with firepower. Of course, you can cook with common fire, but the taste is certainly better with firepower."
Meira turned around and thought about it. Since she came to this world, she got annoyed about common fire as she could never adjust the heat as she wished. Using firepower means they can control the heat, that is indeed better than normal fire. Maybe she should raise her own fire powers.As she nodded added, Kendra slowly used her own power to engulf the pots with the heat of firepower. Meira looked closely at her actions and remembered what she was doing.
In the time between, she prepared stuffing for the turkey that Kendra brought as well. While Meira was preparing turkey, Kendra chooses to make honey-b.u.t.ter fried chicken, stuffed bell peppers and strawberry cake.
She was not worried about making too much food. They had s.p.a.ce, so all the leftovers would be preserved for later. She smiled craftily. Meira saw her smiling and knew that expression. That child has something on her mind. Who knows what kind of thing she is planning now.
"Kendra, what do you plan to do after you leave this place? Continue to travel?" Meira was truly curious. But she planned to stay here and prepare for their return.
Kendra nodded. "I plan to travel the next few months. Our adoptive parents will give us more siblings. We plan to be there for them. On our way back we shall pick you up. Please use the time to upgrade your abilities. I plan to go with Isaa to another plane. I have an actually better idea, but I need so many things for it and will use the time to find it."
She explained everything about the s.p.a.ce and what she needed so Meira thought about it thoroughly. "There is place on the north called A"dil. Its quite a dangerous place even for power users. But I think if you want to get that stuff... its best place to look at."
Kendra looked at Isaa and nodded. That place is written down in books as well, but the place is not for children like Isaa. She forgot that she herself is a child.
They started frying and preparing. Kendra already fried chicken with batter in deep oil and let it cool of while she prepared b.u.t.ter, salt, some salt, pepper and honey. She mixed it with the chicken and let it on the side while she prepared stuffed lepers with meat, rice and vegetables. She closed the bell pepper with potato piece and let it slowly simmer in tomato sauce. The strawberries were from her s.p.a.ce and had a strong smell and taste. She had a simple base cake already prepared, so she used it. Strawberries on, red pudding over it and on top some whipped cream.
She always liked to cook food that could be done fast and tasty. She did it all at the same time she cooked on her true fire the stuff Meira prepared.
In old movies, there were witches that held big pots in air and chanted as they turned. Kendra looked at tens of pots in the air as the fire engulfed them constantly. The tree of them literary looked more like three witches than cooks. Meira saw her expression and as she chuckled, Kendra joined in. Isaa, unfortunately, didn"t know all that so she looked at them curiously as they laughed at the flying pots.
Kendra stroked her head and started explaining. "In the world where I am from, people with powers were killed. Humans were scared of them so they killed anyone who had any sign of power. Layer our world understood the mistake they made, but it was already too late. Later they made moving pictures of them. Even some funny played where the food was cooked as the pots flew in the air. It was just someone"s imagination. But the plays were funny and we remembered as we saw these pits flying around."
As Kendra explained everything to Isaa the other three could if course clearly hear their conversation. Marcus thought about it. Such things are happening on this continent as well. Will one day all the powerhouse disappear or will they be able to survive?
Ta.s.sio though about similar things but he was not worried as most of his kind left this world. He couldn"t wait to meet them again. But he will miss this world. He looked at Lais and hoped she will finally let go and join him to the other world. He knew her thoughts. He sighed.
Lais looked at the door with burning eyes. The enticing smell already started going out of the kitchen and came to her nose. Sudden grumbling in her stomach reminded her how hungry she really is. She stood up and peeked through the open door and saw all those pots and pans flying around, engulfed in true fire.
She shook her head. Kendra really used her energy for all kind of weird things.
Soon the good was done. in the shadow of a big tree, Kendra summoned the big table and chairs. Then slowly one after another, the good started descending and went on the table. Isaa put the plates and everything else needed and with a big smile at first on the table as she stared at the steady flow of food coming out of the kitchen.
Steaming hot fumes rose from pits and pans and spread cacophony of amazing smells. When they sat at the table Kendra opened the pots with a wave of her hand and the sight made the droll. Marcus looked with big eyes at the food that was prepared.
Kendra always fed them well but this food...
The turkey had a brown and glossy skin that he wanted to gnaw on, green beans looked amazing, the matched potatoes had fluffy feeling and meatb.a.l.l.s were perfectly made. Even the mixed rice with vegetables was so tasty looking that he gulped loudly. Stuffed bell peppers were in different colors so the red tomato sauce looked even more enticing smell. The honey b.u.t.ter chicken emanated strong smell and taste. The cakes came on end and they floated on the side table for later.
The table was filled with meat, vegetables, salads and sauces. They all looked around but first to start eating was not Meira, Kendra or Isaa...It was hungry Marcus.
With his long arms, he stuffed his plate with everything a bit. On end in front of him was a small mountain of food. He didn"t speak to anyone. He started eating. They stared at him and all of sudden the table became a battlefield for food...
