When they came to the village whole bunch of people were training vigorously as is to show their power. They roared, grunted and made all kind of sound that made Jason and Kimi just shake their heads, Kendra rolled her eyes and only Pallca seemed to be happy.""Yes! This is how warrior clan it should be. Not a bunch of weaklings then strong people. Amazing power use there, unfortunately, they do a couple of things wrong. Never mind I will teach them."" He looked bluntly at the man and women and just happily nodded his head while Malek looked at him with a perplexed expression. It seems he really didn"t expect that.
""Uhm, Kimi, dear, cutie, sweetie, could you please tell me who this person is?"" He pointed at Pallca that stopped fights and showed them the right postures.
Kimi rolled her big eyes at him. ""He is your guild patron. Pallca.""
Malek needed a few moments to realized the words she just said and suddenly a huge yell could be heard. ""Who?!""
Kimi scrunched her eyebrows, turned her body and strode to Jason and Kendra, completely ignoring Malek. He knew at that moment that he made a huge mistake. He hurriedly rushed after her and steppe don her way.
His face was filled with remorse as he could see in Kimi"s eyes disappointment and disgust rising. ""I didn"t mean to yell. I was just surprised. I would never...""
""Never yell again? Or maybe never mind what you said? Does that mean the words yous aid to me before were just in a whiff of the moment, not your real feelings?"" She pocked deep into the mater with fiery eyes. She was set up to burn him now.
Malek never was treated like this before. Women usually needed just a little bit of care and would forgive him, but this one got such fiery temperament. He couldn"t even say anything that wouldn"t make her even more inraged.
Kendra chuckled. ""Kimi... Come here and breather a bit. Malek, stay still, it is better for you. If yous ay the wrong word you might make it even worse. That is Pallca. Your G.o.d of strength. He wanted to see this world but didn"t know about the restriction that lays over this world, so he became mere mortal as well. As he belongs to the warrior guild, we will leave him with you. But that is not the only reason I wanted to come here. Can I ask who is your best forger and smith? I need them to make something for me. It is something I need. If they can make I would pay in cloth. This is private order, has nothing to do with my sect.""
Malek absentmindedly winked at the nearest man that stood there and gave couple short orders. ""Take her to our smith. Let them see if they could make what she asked for.""
The man smiled ta Kendra that just nodded while Jason and Kimi were left there as she asked them to do that. Soon these people will try to act up and she wants to see how far they are willing to go, only to get her.
I wonder how good are their skills if they can steal me in mid of warriors village...
But what she didn"t expect is that Malek didn"t have his eyes everywhere as it seemed. And not all of his guild members seem to be happy having him as a leader.
As soon she ordered her parts the guy that was sent by Malek himself looked at her fiercely but was met with calm and indifferent eyes. ""Your people think they are smart, don"t they? But how long can they keep the castle if we would attack them?""
Kendra just looked at him silently. With such a start, there must be some interesting happenings going on over there. Seeing his face getting darker she chuckled from inside but kept straight face the whole time. Come, what are you waiting for?
""We will take over the castle and your village. Let"s see what will you do then."" He pointed his finger towards her ears and wanted to flick it but they just disappeared out of his reach. ""Interesting. Maybe I can leave you for me. In a couple of years, you will be grown enough as well.""
Kendra sighed and rolled her eyes. ""If you say so."" Her voice seems to point at the impossibility of such actions and the future but he still couldn"t let go.
Some people must be beaten before they realize their mistakes. Should I bet him up or should I wait until the snake that leads them to show her tail?
So she just awkwardly lowered her head and the man started boasting suddenly while he pushed her in a certain direction. ""Soon we will take over few villages and make the owners the servants even slaves. It is quite a good idea."" He was already in his delusions as they went deeper and deeper into the forest.
They walked up and down, here and there as he wanted to make their trails uneasy to find while Kendra just stopped a couple of times to gather few things to snack on. She was hungry and started to feel irritated. ""How long more. I can"t walk anymore. My legs hurt!""
Like a small child, she complained as her pace became slower and slower. The man snorted, picked her up and threw over his shoulder. ""If I did this from start we would have been there earlier. Luckily, you are not heavy.""
His strong body held her only with one hand so he couldn"t see her doing behind his ack. She comfortably leaned against his back with big smiles and pressed her finger towards dark-faced Taskmaster that walked just one step behind this person.
He started whispering so low that only the two of them could hear. ""Are you dumb? I left you enough power so such situations wouldn"t happen. Stupid!""
She pressed her lips and winked at him slyly. """C"mon, yous aid you will let me have some fun. these people seem to have some ideas and what else should I deal with within the next four years. If the time could be shorter, you would have already taken us all out. Right?""
He pressed his lips thinly, not even answering on her question. ""What is your plan?""
Her eyes became suddenly cold and her voice eery that made even Taskmaster bit afraid. ""They completely forgot one simple thing. We won"t stay here forever. When they come out many of those that they call servants and slaves will hunt them down. How foolish could they be to belive that this is the final destination? I was thinking, if those people try to take over those villages, they seem to have teamed up already. And they have spies in all of the villages. I am not sure if he has a spy in our village, but that won"t help him anyway. I locked the main central s.h.i.+eld until I come back. And from now on it will be harder for outsiders to enter our village anyway.""
""What if they take your people hostages?"" He kept the same pace with the mumbling man and looked at the small face that suddenly had a huge smile.
""Foolish Taskmaster, didn"t you just mention that they are cultivators already? How can normal commoners even attack and not even say kidnap someone from my sect? I am not even worried, what are you worried for? But, let me ask you something?"" She seriously looked up and got sunned by his sudden movement.
He literally was just hand wide away from her. His perfect beauty stunned her for a tiny moment but then she pouted. ""Do not daze me. I need to talk to you in all seriosity. What kind of creature will be born on top of the mountain?""
This time Taskmaster"s face became from one second to another frozen and he stared at her. ""What are you talking about?""
It seems he had no idea. I knew it, not everything is made in worlds. Some things just start existing naturally. Just like the Thing. Maybe I should have not said anything about it?
""Never mind. Let me handle that. It is our new friend so if you even try to harm him in any way, we will fight you all. Together."" Her simple and calm words but ice-cold eyes meant many things. But now Taskmaster had no time for her if that thing is what he thinks it is, new trouble will arrive.
He patted Kendra"s head and smiled at her stiffly. ""I will be back. Be careful. See you later."" Then he disappeared while the man suddenly turned around.
In his warrior"s senses he could feel danger behind him, but looking at the calm surroundings and no special sounds or movements he calmed down and sped up his pace. It is not far...
