Kendra could see, from the corner of her eye, the people coming but was calm. ""What happened after that?""""Everything was fine for about couple centuries after that. People chose to hone their powers. Some became great rules, some dangerous people and some just chose to live a calm and quiet life."" The old woman looked at the people coming and sighed.
One of the girls came forward with one little plant and put it onto her lap. ""Grandmother, it survived. Maybe there is a chance...""
Everyone looked at the little plant in hope, but the old woman shook her head. ""My powers are waning. this young woman healed my old wounds, but the base of my power is almost finished. The end is near."" She could literally feel the powers seeping out her body. It is a matter of days until she will finally close her tired eyes.
Her gaze turned towards Kendra and Isaa again and she continued. ""There was always wars, fights and destruction somewhere on the thousand continents. So the great change was not noticeable at first. But as time pa.s.sed the stories about disappearing continents became louder and louder.""
The young woman saw her grandmother heaving heavily as it was hard for her to continue so she smiled apologetically at Kendra. ""I will continue."" And patted her grandmother"s hand. ""Grandma, I can continue as well. Rest your breath a bit.""
The old woman nodded and just listened. Adding details here and there.
The continents started disappearing and they realised that when over half of them were already gone. The same thing happened on all continents. The life energy was sucked out and on the end only dust and sand were left. But even then some people didn"t want to give up their land until the continent didn"t turn into nothingness.
Listening to her words Kendra"s face became more and more furious and her hair started changing from white to bright red. Everyone gasped. Isaa smiled and tried to calm her down but knew it was already too late as she saw Kendra"s eyes becoming darker and darker red.
""Sister. Stop it. These people will get hurt if you release your power here. It is not their fault."" Isaa tried to reason with her and it helped.
""Isaa, the same thing is happening here as well."" Kendra just then realized some people really didn"t stop doing stupid things when they were stopped destroying her world.
Everyone gasped. The old woman suddenly held her hand. ""Such a thing happened before. I mean you saw it happening before?""
Kendra pressed her teeth and Isaa had to answer as she saw Kendra, that was concentrating not to blow up in anger. ""Thing like that happened in our original world as well. They ground our world until only two continents were left. It seems we came on time to save your world.""
The young woman jumped towards her and kneeled in front of her. ""Please save our world, please. If there is even slightest chance to save our world, we will be most grateful to the two of you.""
Kendra shook her head. ""I do not need grat.i.tude from any of you. Now that I know what is going on, I know what to do. It seems its time I cut some lives. Calah, Oi, Tak, I will need help from the three of you.""
Suddenly three strange creatures appeared din front fo them. Strangely, they couldn"t feel any malice coming form those creatures.
Kendra looked at the fling Tak. ""Go to your friends and tell them to find a crack in s.p.a.ce. After you find it take Oi to sew it so no one could enter here again. Calah, use birds and other creatures and search the continent for Oi or for Dark Ones. If they find it, just let them come back. They should not near them. Hurry.""
Calah suddenly stood up opened his arms and millions of creatures came out of him and spread all over the place. Kendra calmed down again and her white hair was waving as she still felt disgusted. No matter how many times she saw that and no matter how much she respected this creature in front of her, it still made her woozy whens he saw those creatures crawling out Calahs body.
As the creatures disappeared Kendra turned her head towards the old woman and smiled at her. ""Now we know what we are looking for. Next question. Why do you all hide in such ghost towns and is there more settlements like yours?""
The old woman took a small gla.s.s clear item and pointed at it. ""This is a sacred artefact I got form my grandfather. It can hide many people behind the invisible wall and not even strong cultivators or even G.o.ds can see trough its s.h.i.+eld. It protects us as well.""
Isaa looked at it and then at Kendra. ""I see runes on the plate.""
With a smile on her face, Kendra nodded. ""Good idea, seriously good idea. They used unbreakable gla.s.s to write runes that could protect the people in certain surroundings. It"s same what I did with the Serenity city. At that time, I just started learning runes and arrays. This is a high-cla.s.s array. Even I couldn"t see people inside. Amazing. But it gives me a few ideas that I might be able to use here or when I go back home. Thank you for showing it to me.""
She pushed the small plate back with a big smile and nodded. ""Keep that. At the moment I plan to make a huge s.h.i.+eld around your world so not many people can enter. And if they do try to enter I will be alarmed and higher beings as well. No one is that crazy to go against the whole upper world. Anyway, keep that. It is a very good item. But what is going on here actually? Why are so many cultivators hiding on the same spot?""
