Marcus stayed in s.p.a.ce till morning as Kendra gave him one of the small houses to sleep at. Kendra saw him liking the bed so she gifted him one of the tents and the bed.
Like that he can sleep comfortably on his travels.
As the early light appeared, Chief came with a long line of people to send them away. Ta.s.sio shook his head looking with the corner of his eye at Kendra. She actually just planned to fly away and then come back at night on clouds and scan the whole town.
But, maybe this way is even better. After they leave people will continue with their normal life and won"t think too much about them. Like that, they can come back and proceed to look for power users.
"We knew you plan to leave today. We brought some presents. Even tho they don"t have a big value, we still hope you will accept it." He nodded to a group of well-dressed people and walked to the side sighing.
Isaa saw proud expressions on those people so she snorted. "n.o.bles..."
One woman came forward and looked coldly at Kendra and Isaa. "We heard two common children are traveling with Emissaries. So we choose to bring you our n.o.ble children to serve you and learn stuff. Don"t worry about these two. We will send them to one of our houses to serve us."
Ta.s.sio rose his head, while Lais face was filled with fury. The woman didn"t even look at them, so she didn"t see their darkening expressions. Lais was about to jump on her but Ta.s.sio stopped her. He pointed at Isaa, that had a bright smile.
"So, lowly human like you dares to talk in Emissaries name? That is funny. What power do you have over us to choose? If they said that we should leave their side, we would, but it was their decision. So, tell me, old woman, what right do you have to speak to me?"
Isaa"s eyes were a chilly,while she had a big smile. She saw Kendra doing that many times when she is angry so she copied her. The woman flinched as she saw cold eyes from such a small child. But being n.o.ble she used it to be bossy or even hurt people by her wish. To be mocked by a little child was humiliating for her.
"I am n.o.ble, so I have the right to do whatever I want." She rose proudly her head and approached her. She rose her hand to hit Isaa but suddenly she flew backward hitting hard on the floor and rolling in the dust.
Isaa clapped her hands like she had dust on them. "I am maybe not a power user but that doesn"t mean that I am weak."
Kendra patted her head. "That hit was great. Your defense became even better lately. Foolish people think that Emissaries would take two common children with them. Well, we might be common, but our fighting is not. Right?"
Isaa hugged Kendra and nodded in her embrace. "Yes. We can survive even without using powers. Just like other commoners. Kendra, I need to become physically stronger. Now I know that. I will listen to you."
"Good girl. I will teach you more." Kendra slowly stroked her head and they turned cold eyes at a group of furious n.o.bles. "If you have something to say, speak to our guardians."n.o.bles looked at Ta.s.sio and saw his dark expression while he held furious Lais. Marcus stood there with crossed arms while his eyes shone in deathly darkness. Now they felt scared and stepped back.
Marcus scoffed. "Now you feel fear? Just common humans dare to act pretentiously in front of our faces. So what if you are n.o.ble. Big deal. If I ask the King, Us, the power users might become new n.o.bles. What is use of you then?"
n.o.bles turned pale realizing the big problem. They all got their t.i.tles because their ancestors did great things. But if power people become someone important to the ruler of the country... They looked at each other as the fear for their future became evident on their faces.
Ta.s.sio scowled. "Enough. We stayed here long enough. Chief, thank you for taking us in. Now it"s time for us to leave."
Chief nodded and saw that with wave if his hand everything disappeared. Lais and Marcus went to Kendra"s and Isaa"s side and looked as Ta.s.sio turned into a dragon.
Chief and rest of people that came got stunned and scared, realizing how big the problem they really head. They heard that the King made contracts with dragons and demons but to meet one of the last dragons on their plane...
They had honor meeting someone so grand but lost chance of becoming their acquaintance. They felt sorry for themselves and some tried coming closer but Ta.s.sio opened his mouth and spewed fire in air as a warning.
Slowly Lais, Marcus Isaa and Kendra sat on his back. He turned his head and slightly nodded to Chief that gave him proper bow.
He slowly rose in the air and turned too far away hills. Soon they disappeared from their sight as suddenly a screech could be heard. They turned their heads and started laughing.
That woman woke up but her face turned to look like a pig with big snorkel instead simple nose and the funniest thing was the little piggy tail on her back. That was actually punishment from Kendra.
Marcus sighed and shook his head. It"s better not to anger too much this kid. He might turn him into something really gross. Isaa chuckled and started laughing while Lais joined in.
"She totally deserved it. But, how did you get such an idea?" Lais was curious as her eyes filled with tears from too much of laughter.
"When Isaa kicked her, her behind was kind if in air and all her face was dirty. So what I did is just giving her little punishment turning her temporarily into a pig. Hmmm. Maybe next time I should punish someone with turning them into slugs or c.o.c.kroaches." Kendra thought about it and started making new spells in her head while even Ta.s.sio"s skin got gooseb.u.mps.
Lais looked at her and laughed again while holding her stomach. Kendra really had weird ideas. But she likes it. Marcus heart shook while he made real decision never to make Kendra angry at himself.
Soon they rose up to clouds and Marcus for the first time saw Kendra"s real power. She summoned the clouds and realized that they could have taken this as their transportation but Kendra choose running for map reasons.
But looking at their faces it seems they flew these before so he stepped on it without any fear. Lais nodded as she saw his actions and smiled at him.
"When I first time met Kendra, I already knew she will be somebody strong in future so I shamelessly called myself a big sister. But you have to know one important thing for the future. If you make her angry and she gives you big smile.....RUN!!!" Lais flew with her cloud near Kendra and looked down at the town under their feet.
"Let"s go to my s.p.a.ce for now. Tonight we can come out and scan the city. Marcus, if you want you can join us or you can use that cloud and fly for a while. After you are too far from me, the cloud will slowly descend and you can continue the way you did before. I hope that is any help to you?"
Marcus smiled. "Thank you. I will accept that offer. I will know then how far I can fly with one of your clouds. Do you have any idea how long?"
Kendra thought about it. "I think about five times the way we traveled so far. Is that any help for you?"
He nodded. "Then I shall use the cloud circling around and knowing you, you probably will from now on travel sometimes with clouds as well. Maybe we will meet again."
His idea was to use the cloud in a circle around Kendra and if cloud starts descending, just go back and rests a bit before trying to find a new way. Anyway, he had now enough food and true metal so he will need to reinforce his weapons anyways.
Isaa suddenly flew towards him and threw something at him. It looked like stone. "This is a power stone I found. I am sure you will need it earlier or later."
He looked at the stone and got stunned. In his world the power stones were priceless. She gave him the highest quality stone. Black obsidian. He stared at the little girl that flew back to Kendra and smiled.
"One say, two of you will become stronger and will go to other plan. I promise to wait for your arrival. Kendra, Isaa, Lais and Ta.s.sio, I shall wait for you..." He said while waving his hands and flying with cloud in speed.
Marcus sighed. He actually wanted to ask Kendra to teach him this spell... Suddenly he hit his head. The spell!!! He forgot to explain them. He was already so far, he will travel around, maybe their ways will cross again.
He sighed and smiled. " Kendra, we shall meet again..."
