Everyone looked at Kendra as she slowly stood up on the chair and looked around.""h.e.l.lo, everyone. In the last couple of months, you all must have had your own difficulties. That is something we expected here. But after coming here I realized the true reason why we came to this place."" She could see how their faces became nervous so she just smiled.
""It is actually not a big deal, but at the same time, it is as some people might use this chance to do vile things to another..."" She sighed deeply. ""Fortunately, I am a small child."" Or am better said in child"s body...
""We are fortunately just 36 people, but the task is to make 100 houses from clay bricks, right? There are reasons why. In the future, this world will be saved heaven for cultivators... that want children."" She could see their confused expressions.
Isaa sighed and Kimi just went in front Kendra with flabbergasted face and shook her head. ""What weird idea do they have about us in this case?""
Kendra felt it difficult to explain but she had to. ""Those that feel that their clans have not enough offsprings will try hard to make them... now. This world is made for that reason filled with food. All the cultivators will loose powers so they could produce children. I think I heard from many of you that your clans have troubles producing offsprings for centuries. So one of the grounding fairies found the way for you to do so. But of course, there will be a troublesome thing for everyone that is now in this world. I think some of them will feel like they have to do so, so many atrocities might happen.""
Everyone now understood why she was dead set on protecting so much the village. One of the men coughed and looked at his companion that went red. ""Some of us wanted to have children for a while. I and my wife will take this chance to try to produce one. I hope you will understand that she won"t be able to join heavy works if she really becomes pregnant. Please help us out.""
He bowed deeply as everyone started cheering. Kendra smiled and rose her hands to calm them down. ""I am sure that there are already some pairings. Those that get pregnant can be sure that we will be helpful as much as we can so you can raise the child healthily. In another world, I have twin brothers so I know many things about childbirth and baby care. Those that plan getting together will get their own home. And please...Do not feel pressure or something. This is actually a trial world for those that want the babies. It is not a task!""
Her calm explanation that was without hurry made them calmly think about it. Not many of them really wanted children as they had no spouses yet. And this world already exists so they clearly thought about it. It"s not a must just like Kendra said. They can just wait the end of the next five years and make this place as comfortable as possible for future generations.
Kendra smiled at everyone getting calmer and happily looked at Isaa that just nodded.
Someone turned their head around and saw snow falling slowly down. ""So pretty.""
Now everyone turned around as the big door was partially open and went out to see snow falling down on the fields and covering everything. Kendra walked out to the snow and opened her arms widely and started laughing. ""Come everyone. It"s fine.""
Everyone slowly felt slow snowflakes falling on their faces and melting down. Isaa lived with Kendra for a long time and started being mischievous again. She chose one of her powers to be wind so she blew a bunch of snow into Kendra"s body and turned her into a small snowman, in this case, snow child.
Kendra opened her eyes and started smiling at her as her eyes started s.h.i.+ning brightly. ""Isaa, my dear sister. It seems you need to remember how mischievous I am.""
She used her waterpower to glue the snow together, that was falling, and a bunch of snow fell over Isaa"s head, turning her into snow mountain. Seeing the two of them becoming playful everyone started making new pranks. As they had newly made clothes from red cloth, they felt no coldness, but after some time their faces and hands were becoming colder.
Kendra after a while stopped them all and they went back inside where a large fire was burning and made everyone warm and cozy again. They seated again on their chairs and started having new ideas about the village and things the village might need.
Isaa held Kendra"s hands and looked at everyone"s relaxed faces and sighed. ""You seem to spread quite a lot happiness. I wish..."" Suddenly she felt a warmth inside her body and something changed.
Kendra could feel her stiffness. ""Isaa? What is going on?""
Isaa shook her head as s.h.i.+vers started spreading her body. ""I have no idea. It feels so strange. like there is something inside waiting to burst out.""
Kendra took her by the hand and they went to their room as she wanted to see if her hunch that she had for a while is true. When she closed the door she sighed and with a low voice called. ""Taskmaster.""
She knew he was watching her steps all the time. Why? Right now she didn"t care and she had no time to think about it.
His body appeared in front of her and he scrunched his eyebrows as he saw changes on Isaa .."" You fool. Why do you do that to yourself? Your kind is different than Kendra"s If you do this kind of thing you might harm your meridians and your pearl of power.""
Kendra looked at isaa"s pale face and lips that started turning color and becoming blue and then almost black. In fear, she jumped to catch her as Isaa suddenly fainted. Her eyes beggingly turned towards him and she whispered. ""Help her.""
He calmly looked at her and shook his head with a small smile. ""I can"t do that for free. I didn"t help others here and if I do it without reason, grounding fairy might get angry at me as well. Sorry, I can"t do it without reason. Give me one.""
Looking at Isaa"s breath getting flatter she pressed her lips and looked straight at him. ""Speak, what do you want?""
On his face, a beautiful smile appeared as he slowly approached her...
