The group of people left their safety with smiling faces and a big bunch of bags in their hands. As the cloudy floated high over their heads, no one noticed any peculiarity.Pallca, Jason, Kimi and Kendra greeted the people and pointed at the places she left the signs. ""There, there and bit further up the hill."" She pointed to different directions. ""Try gathering as much as you can from each. Our greens will be ready soon as well, but I think we can use these as well for our use or exchange them for other things. Do not overwork yourselves. I know we have our dear Cynthia, but do not be too troublesome. Got it?""
Everyone laughed and waved goodbye as a group of four left. Jason one more time looked back and smirked. ""They are really following us. Are they dumb or what?""
Kendra just smiled brightly and continued her walk. ""Just make them trip many times and they will give up after a while. If they don"t give up, let them capture me. they must be really so desperate then to have me. Then let them get me. I am sure there must be some background story. I can always call Cloudy to get m out. And after all, did you forget my powers. Then there is that bothersome man that keeps an eye on me from time to time. Just let us have some fun. Ok?""
Kimi just sighed and suddenly had a feeling she had to take her by hand and walk around with her like that. Looking at her eyes staring at her hand Kendra rose it up to see what is going on.
At that moment Kimi grabbed it and smiled brightly. ""Well, no matter how desperate they are, Isaa would kill us if we come back home without you. We all know that she is cute and kind and all that, but we also know just in case something happens to you, I do not think any of those people would be left alive. Let"s not turn her into a ma.s.s murderer. Hm?""
Looking at her stubborn face Kendra just chuckled and then grabbed Kimi under the arm. ""Then let"s do that. But in Warrior village, I will write a letter to Isaa. She will know what she has to do. I have my own plans. I know your care. Really. ""
The way to the next village was rather far but under chat and laughter. They arrived at the fisherman"s village just before noon. Luckily it was late spring so the weather was not hot, yet.
Already from far Kendra saw the amazing structure and gave a glance towards Jason and Kimi. ""Their village is something I saw before?""
The houses were made between trees and connected with covered pathways. To go up person had to walk on steep steps or climb. But either the way, the village looked cute and fitting with the whole sea in the background.
Kimi waved her hand as she saw Laura coming over. ""Jason, Kimi welcome."" Then she saw two people and smiled. ""You must be new. Jason and Kimi will show you around. If you need help, just let us know.""
Jason started laughing while pointing at Kendra. ""Oh Laura, good joke. You don"t know. Let me introduce our village head, Kendra.""
Kendra slightly bowed and then gave one of the brightest smiles ever, actually stunning all of them on spot. Kimi got closer to Jason and sighed. ""Is this the killing smile Isaa told us about. She said Kendra has four smiles for now. One smile is the kind we see every day, then there is one that she gives family, the third is this one...""
Jason nodded but realized that she didn"t explain fourth. ""What about number four?""
Kimi shook her head and became serious. ""She said she has that smile when she wants to take care of bothersome people and we should watch put when she starts smiling weirdly around people that are about to do something stupid around Kendra.""
Looking at Kendra"s big honest smile somewhat he was unwilling that she turns into bad kid. ""I wish my powers would come back and I could protect her. I like when she smiles honestly to people.""
Kimi had to admit that she felt the same. ""Ill join you. We can make an army only to protect her...""
Laura had to shake her head as actually everyone heard their chat even tho it was spoken almost with a whisper. ""You two are truly foolish. Looking at the aura of this child, she probably can protect you all in one swipe. When I think bout it, I think only Taskmaster and her Secthead might win against her. If they join forces."" She jokingly winked at Kendra while she took the joke with humor.
""Oh, how mean. I am not that kind of person to fight with ancient men. Both were born so many thousands of years ago, I think only that skin hold their bones together. Should I better open home for elders and let them live comfortably by the heater."" Kendra winked at Laura that just patted her head.
Kendra knew that even tho Laura"s hand had the smell of the sea on her hands, but they were clean so she just started chatting with her while walking towards their village. Laura was curious about Kendra all of them spoken about.
""I know my words might seem but rude, but you seem to be a child but at the same time, not really. What is it about?"" Taskmaster was a famous picky man, he wouldn"t let a real child go to this world certainly. So this child...
Kendra sighed. ""There was the situation before I came to sect. I met a few witches and when I am back, I will probably go to the cultivation room. After that my body will heal, or better say in this case, grow. But you are true, I am a grownup person with just a tiny frame. Is it bad?""
Laura was about to answer when one of her people rushed towards them and whispered in her ear. She looked at the faraway bushes and smiled. ""It seems we have rats in surroundings. Should I get them, or do you have plans for them?""
Kendra just blinked and waved her hand. ""Let them be. I have plans... and they won"t like it.""
