Days pa.s.sed. Kendra and Isaa didn"t talk much to any of his people and held on side. He still didn"t tell her where they are going. She knew their parents are safe, so she just traveled together with them. As they traveled by carriage, she felt that it"s not a good idea for the two of them to travel with the cloud so she took out one of the carriages their parents prepared outs s.p.a.ce bag and let him find the horses to pull. She saw him and his men care about the animals with the greatest care, so her heart softened. She would from time to time heal and give the animals spells for their health whenever they slept. He saw her once use the spell but didn"t ask any questions. He could feel huge powers underlying in that small body and as he lived already for so long, he knew that there are other layers, other worlds and stronger people existing in the next planes. So he stopped himself from any unnecessary questioning.
Kendra and Isaa would travel inside their own carriage, not going out much. Only when is time to eat, they would come out with food out the s.p.a.ce bag. They would serve them food and then after they finish they would go back to their carriage. Thye never joined them, neither talked to them and seeing that people didn"t even try. After all, they are just two small children. The trip must have beeing hard on them, right?
One morning Kendra came out of the carriage and waved her had to stop them. She turned to the nearest man that was on the horse and asked him with a polite smile to call everyone to stop. He already had a duty to listen to the child"s voice so he galloped fast to the front, where his Lord was traveling. ""Lord, the child has spoken. He said we need to stop, now!""
He sighed and rose his hand. With a loud voice, he yelled."" Everyone, stop! We will stop here for a moment."" Then he rushed towards Kendra"s carriage. ""Child, tell me. Why do we stop now?""
Kendra looked at him and pointed her hand towards the horizon. ""If you could tell me how far from here its that place, then I could tell you in advance what is waiting for us. Do you think making me travel with you is safer for us?"" She saw him having a straight face, but eyes that flickered she knew her a.s.sumption is true. ""You are foolish to think we are safe with you. What if your father sends legions on you. Do you think we will be safer up there on clouds or here in this carriage?""
His face finally had changed. He shook his head. ""It"s not like I don"t plan to tell you at all, it"s just that he is like us, traveling from one base to another. I am just trying to catch up on him. He is indeed gathering new forces, but he can"t keep them under leash as they are all people without basic humanity in themselves. It is strange on his side. I can feel just flickers of his soul in that body.""
Kendra scrunched her eyebrows. Then a slight smile appeared on her face. ""It seems your father is foolish, but those behind him are even bigger fools. The worms are one of very pure creatures. It contains some spiritual energy so it can help the bearer with enchancment. Maybe their project was all along with the worms, not our plane. It seems we need to help your friends really this time. Before they go back to their clan I will use a new spell to erase their memories so they wouldn"t have such nasty memories for the future. It could destroy their existence in their own world. ""
Kendra"s eyes suddenly turned red. ""All I wanted was just travel the world, learn new stuff and enjoy my life. Now they came and are trying to turn it into something I really dislike. I think I might just get angry and eradicate them. Then we can go back home and just grow up as normal children. What do you think, Isaa?""
Isaa smiled but shook her head. ""Kendra, from start on, both of us were not meant to be normal children. You know it, I know it, everyone knows that fact. But we do indeed have enough time to enjoy our childhood. To tell you truth, I miss our home, our parents, our friends. Mother is soon giving us new sibling, we need to go back anyway. I do not mind being a normal child, getting dirty and playing in mud and water... Kendra, let"s win this fast so we can go back home sooner, hm?""
Kendra smiled brightly and patted her head. Isaa changed a lot since she met her the first time. The flimsy child turned in a beautiful girl, but thinking that she still wants to play in mud made her laugh. In her past life, she went to mud baths to upgrade her skin. If Isaa plans to play in mud she can make mud clean (=er). As she was brooded about what she could do to turn normal mud into a medicinal mud bath, Isaa already shook her head. Kendra really needs to reconsider that. But she knew Kendra is thinking of her and that her thoughts are being like they are just as protective measurement she gave up with a smile.
Lord saw two sibling"s expressions and scratched his head. ""Uhm, what now?"" He gave a long stare at Kendra whose eyes turned again blue and shrugged his shoulders. ""Oh well, we could have a break now anyway.""
Kendra snapped out her thoughts as she saw everyone preparing the camp. She was about the jump down from carriage as large rumbling could be heard from mountains, not so far away from them. With loud screech black clouds slowly emerged from the mountain and rapidly approached them...
