She at first had the impression that the cloud was just a group of wild bats. But with her enhanced vision, she could see that what came towards them was much worse than just a few bats. She turned her head to warn everyone but to her surprise, everyone was calm as they looked at the approaching cloud. She shrugged her shoulders and just put a protective layer over her carriage as she entered inside. If they know each other so well, she might as well just go back inside and just have some nice sleep. She could hear the flapping of the wings and coldly smiled. ""They are here. Isaa, go into your s.p.a.ce, I will stay outside, I need to see how outrageous these people can be.""
Isaa nodded and quickly disappeared. In her s.p.a.ce, she sat down and started concentrating on cultivation. She needs to grow her powers fast. Even tho she is a child now, but the time flies fast and soon she will grow up... She sighed. Kendra is thinking in advance. She closed her eyes to start cultivating, but suddenly she leaned on the side and started snoring lightly.
Kendra patted her head and kissed her forehead. ""You little fool. You think I don"t know that anytime you go into your s.p.a.ce you would cultivate until your body is almost dry and exhausted. If you continue like that you could only hurt your future development. We have so much time, where do you rush so much? Is power so important? Sleep now. "" She poked her round cheeks until they turned red and she started laughing. ""I like you more like this. Hahahahhahaha. Soon you will grow up and some young man will steal you from my side. Sigh. Let"s hope you won"t forget me at that point. ""
Kendra slowly took her to bed. She tucked her in and as she looked her deep breathes she smiled mischievously. She took a pen and painted mustaches over her lips. ""Child, even with such ridiculous thing on your face, you look cute. Hahahhhahaha."" She laughed until the tears came out and her stomach started hurting.
As her laughing subsided slowly, she wiped her eyes of remaining tears and poked her forehead. ""Thank you for being my sister. Without you, I probably would have drowned in the darkness that I took with me from the past life. You gave me a reason to walk the path. Everything you said before is right. From start on, we are different than other children, but that doesn"t mean we can"t live like others. Let"s have a normal childhood, shall we?""
She turned her head to look at b.u.t.terflies that flew around their heads and enjoyed a moment of peacefulness. She poked at Isaa"s soft face one more time and with a small laugh disappeared to the outer world. The moment she left her s.p.a.ce Isaa opened her eyes and smiled at the spot Kendra was sitting at. ""Yes. Let"s have a real childhood. The future is so far away, why wasting childhood that lasts an only fleeting moment. Two of us are destined to live an adult life for a long, long time..."" She closed her eyes again and continued to sleep in content.
Kendra arrived outside the carriage with her usual calm expression, but her eyes still had sparks of happiness and mischievousness. She looked at the unbridled group of people and shook her head as her feet slowly took her toward them. Her feeling already told her that this would happen earlier or later, but as it seems, they found her early. She looked at the redheaded boy that took long strides towards her and opened his arms as he exclaimed: ""Kendraaaaaa!!!""
The men that so far ignored screechers and their owners looked surprised at the young man rus.h.i.+ng at the small child. Lord wanted to say something but a small gust of wind formed around the child and young man was kicked fiercely backward. He paused slightly but was still smiling brightly at Kendra. "" Kendra, finally you came to visit us. ""
When Isaa and Kendra left, Cian was at the beginning concentrating on his cultivation. But soon he realized his mistake. Even if his ability has nothing to do with fire he ended up having fire as his secondary ability. So to expand the dual ability he chooses first to test his fire ability and now as he got thsi he could feel that his defense towards fire rose astronomically. The whole family was stunned and amazed as they all knew his problem. As it seems, while Kendra was healing him and implementing her new cultivation, his body broke through the boundary and he got his fire inheritance.
Since then he went to his place on fire mountain and wanted to cultivate it hard. He traversed the whole mountain and couldn"t find a perfect spot. But one day he found on fire mountain hidden cave. At first the cave was just like any other, but soon he could feel power surges from the inside. He curiously went inside and found a large group of sleeping creatures that released fire elements from their bodies.
He slowly advanced towards nearest and as he wanted to touch it, the animal opened eyes and screeched loudly. All other animals stood up quickly and surrounded him. At first, he got scared but soon he was surprised to find out that all these creatures were quite tame and cuddly. They would let him pat them, even putting their heads under his hand. He took the first screecher outside the mountain as others followed him and soon they flew up in the sky, circling the fire mountain.
The screecher looked quietly at him and then stubbed his back with his wing. He showed at his back, and when Cian curiously went up it started running and soon opened its winges and flew up in the sky. As it seems it had some intelligence so Cian showed him his village and slowly, the whole group of screechers flew down into the village, scaring his clan witless.
Suddenly a child run out of the crowd and hugged one of the creatures. At first, everyone froze, but seeing the creature licking the small face of the chuckling child, everyone came to the realization. These animals seem quite friendly. As fire clan itself were quite simple people, they just accepted the group of creatures in their own family. Later on, Cian explained to their elder that actually the screechers seem to exclude a big amount of fire element, so no other animal or creature could get near them without dying.
The fire clan realized one more strange thing, screechers ate only once a month. And only a bit of certain plants that could be found only on their mountain. The fire flowers. From then on screecher and fire clan became family. As it seems the clan loved the screechers quite a lot.
Kendra used the inner eye and saw the screechers excluding a big amount of the fire element, making normal humans feel quite uncomfortable. But for fire clan, it was like soaking in the warmth. She turned her head towards Cian and looked at him quietly. They have been gone only for a few months, but he grew almost as big as his uncle.
""Cian, do you plan to turn into a giant? How comes you are so tall?"" She looked at him and could only shake her head.
Cian blushed and chuckled embarra.s.sedly. ""Actually, my father was the tallest man in the village and my mom was one of the furies. So she was tall as well. Being so small all the time was only because I suppressed the abilities in my body. So it harmed my base and my growth. Now since I am free of boundaries..."" He blushed as he looked at the floor. Then he turned his head around and then stared at the stiff expression on Kendra"s face. ""Isaa?""
Kendra realized one thing, Isaa is still a small child and as it seems she will never be tall... Well, at least not tall enough. In front of her inner eyes, she saw giant holding his tiny wife and trying to kiss her and her skin got covered by gooseb.u.mps. She shook her head and stepped one step back but then realized on the thing, Isaa has higher aspirations. In the future, if he doesn"t grow his power, them two won"t end up together anyway.
Her eyes calmly looked at him and with a slight smile, she winked at him. ""You do know her dream. Are you ready to follow her to the next plane? Or do you plan to just grow tall and live like a normal human? It is your choice."" She turned around and disappeared leaving him in deep thoughts...
