Kendra was never in cultivation or asleep. She realized that something was wrong when people started sitting on two sides. Actually, she didn"t want to kill those that are still there. For those creature sakes. But after Lord Williams told her about new possibilities, she didn"t mind killing them.

But lately, she was under lots of stress so she plans to play the game with them to relive some of it. To see who is the mastermind in this petty story. 

While they chatted in front of her about their future plans she just visioned her plans. Where should she start looking for the ingredients? Maybe she should just use her mind to search for it. But in that case, many things can happen to her body and mind. She just got a new life with this body. If she starts doing stupid things like losing silver lining because she looked with her soul...Sigh.

She actually didn"t even listen to what those peopel said so when they call her name multiple times and she didn"t move, the Ratface pushed her. She looked at him with an empty expression.

""Ok it seems the kid reacted this time. I said go kill those bunch of boneless people lets us get rid of the dirty package and then let"s go find a new home."" He started yelling in her ear.

Luckily she was cultivator or her ears might ring for days after that sound. 

Her cold eyes stared at him. Neither talking or moving. The Ratface started getting angry and looked at teh woman accusingly. ""Does that thing works? It seems that powder burned his brain and now he is literally like a puppet. What if he loses his powers because you gave him too much of the dust?"" 

The Nasty woman stood in front of Kendra, confused. ""Actually, this powder has no other effect than just losing the free will. The soul should be still there.""

The young man slowly approached the Nasty woman and slapped her so hard that she almost fainted. ""You promised us the same even with the Puppet master. On end, he wanted to rule us.""

The woman snickered. ""You are cultivator but my powder doesn"t work on you. But the Puppetmaster had a rebound of power and woke up from the stupor. It seems some kind of energy woke him up. If not, we would have been already halfway to your home. You already gathered enough pearls of power. But your greed is endless. You made so many plans to harm demons and humans in the same way.""

The young man laughed. ""You finally see how strong are my powers.""

She shook her head and smiled in fury. ""You destroyed my heart and made me make all those poisons. I did it only to save my children. But I have to tell you something. I found out they died under the same poisons I made. You turned them into experiments. Trying out on them all those poisons. For years I waited for this moment. To find the perfect enemy. And that is this child, hahhaha. You killed so many children, but this one might be to hard stone for you to bite on.""


His face started getting pale and green as he suddenly realized something obvious. The child coldly and calmly stared at him the whole time.  Suddenly he gathered powers and wanted to move away, but somehow he was stopped. Frozen stiff. 

Kendra looked at the man in front of her and smiled. One of her ""smiles"". She saw his panicked expression as she slowly approached, we eyes stuck on his face that by each of her steps became paler and paler. 

With wave of her hand the Ratface was enveloped inside big fireball and burned into nothingness under his petrified eyes. He looked at her red eyes and his back became cold from fear.

""What do you want from me?"" He whispered as his eyes darted around looking at those people for help. 

""Me? Enjoying a peaceful life. Nice place to sleep, good food to eat. Is that even possible now, in this world?"" She asked as her eyes started to turn dangerously red.

""I don"t know anything. You can"t make me tell you something I don"t know."" His body shook as his face started to show dangerous red spots. 

Kendra smiled and placed her hand on his chest. ""Want to die without my permission? Do you think I will let you die this easy? Speak and I will let you go easily. If not, I might torture your soul until eternity. ""

His breath became steadier as his eyes became big from fear. ""Impossible, this is impossible. The bead of power should be able to explode by our will. How could it stop? ""

Isaa came from his back and kicked his legs so he fell down on his knees in front Kendra. he looked with fear at the two children as his body started sweating.

""Why touching dirty stuff?"" Kendra used her power and cleaned Isaa"s invisible dirt on her leg. ""Come here and be good.""

""Can"t I play with him a little bit?"" Isaa looked at him with s.h.i.+ny eyes but suddenly felt pain. She looked at Kendra with tear stricken eyes while holding the head. 

""Don"t you look at me with those puppy eyes. Didn"t I say you should clean up your soul from all bad intentions if you want the closed door cultivation to succeed?"" She pointed with the forefinger at Isaa"s head.

""But, I am angry as well. This man did so many evil things. Somehow I feel like I should punish him. Can"t I?"" She used again sparkle eyes at Kendra but seeing that this time it doesn"t work, she gave up. ""No fun at all...""

She looked at the dirty woman and then at Kendra realizing that the woman never really touch Kendra. On the other hand, Kendra made a new s.h.i.+eld that protected her from any outside dirt. So she was completely calm.

Kendra turned her head towards the man and stepped straight in front of him. His body started shaking from fear. ""WH...what are you going to do to me?""

He felt a slight pat on his face and suddenly pain enveloped his whole body. He wanted to scream loudly but suddenly he became aware that he lost his voice. Fear crept up his spine as the pain intensified. 

Only those that stood in front of him could see his struggles and their faces became white. 

Kendra looked ta them with her bright red eyes and most of them just stepped back in fear. She locked her eyes with the man and gave him a big but menacing smile. ""I am actually a peace-loving person. I hate blood, gore, dirt and any kind of nasty stuff. But when I am angry, I don"t care. Please tell me what is going on and you can rest in peace. I will give you painless death. I give you my word of honor.""

She sent small wisp of power straight into his brain causing him to have nightmares with open eyes, over and over again. In his agony, it felt like years pa.s.sed, but actually it lasted just a few moments. When she finally asked him the third time he nodded and when she waved one more time he was released from all the pain and boundary. 

His body slammed on the floor. The face and whole clothes stuck on him because he sweated profusely under that torment. 

""I will tell you everything. Just stop torturing me."" He breathed heavily while sitting on the floor.

""I promise, Now talk."" She will keep her promise, as long he keeps his.

""My people come from another continent."" He started talking and waiting for a famous confused reaction, but Kendra just stared at him coldly.

""Yes, and?"" Her short question scared him witless.

""You know that there are other places?"" He looked at the child now really scared.

Kendra smirked coldly. ""Do you take us from this continent as fools? The human race came to this continent while ago. Of course, there has to be a place they came from. So at least one more continent should be out there.""

He nodded still in the state of confusion. ""Before this place had 10 continents and every continent had a different kind of logical creatures living on. But somehow with time, they started crumbling. As teh s.p.a.ce became lesser the creatures started s.h.i.+fting from one place to another. The scariest place was this demon continent. But still, some humans choose to flee here and live.""

Kendra started walking as she nodded. ""Of course, that is normal. But why did the continents crumble? Any volcanic activity or maybe something else happened?""

He shook his head. ""Nothing so simple. Hundreds of years ago a large boat came to our continent and we found out that the continent not only crumbled, it started disappearing in thin air. Our smartest heads started making plans for the future.""

Kendra suddenly stopped and smiled. ""They probably had a stupid idea to kill everyone on this continent and just resettle here when your continent starts disappearing, right?""

He opened his head to say something, but nothing came out. Kendra hit the nail on head with her logic. So he nodded. 

""So they sent peopel to stir trouble between Human and Demon race in hope we will annihilate each other or at least will be too weak to fight your army back, right?"" Now his eyes almost popped up listening to her words.

Kendra started walking in silence. ""If your people just asked for help, maybe at that time Demon and Human race could have done something to stop the destruction of continents. Have you never thought of working together?""

He bowed his head as he scoffed. ""Demons are famous for their ferocity. They even had fights between each other and had tasted human flesh before. We didn"t even dare to propose anything. Elders and Kings on our continent sat together and had a long talk. Many kings voiced your idea but were completely stunned by teh repulse from most of teh human kings. On the end, they have been subject to attacks to keep them low. Some of them took their whole belongings, destroying their country and leaving worthless stone and sand while escaping here.""

Kendra stood in front of him and shook her head. ""The rest of kings and elders couldn"t have imagined that they could come to an agreement to Demons and live here comfortably, turning this place into their new home, right?""

He gave up on talking any more as the rest was already said by this child. 

Kendra looked at him one more time. ""But why hurting the children and weak in this manner, I asked myself for the longest time. But after hearing your story, I seem to understand why. Turning Demons as a bad guy that wants to conquer the human land and making them a perfect offer for your action. At the same time weakening the country of her allies. Good idea, but a stupid way.""

Isaa saw Kendra losing her fiery temper and held her hand. ""So all those bad things that happened to children are because those people from other continent want this place to be their own?""

Kendra nodded her head and sighed in her heart. ""But those that did that, were just pushed a little bit but were doing it by their own wish. That means that they already had such dark hearts even before. They can"t point a finger to those people that it is their fault for their own wrongdoings.""

""By the way, one thing I really do not understand? WHY did YOU have to kill the children and harm them in such a way?"" 

""Just like you said. It was my own heart. I like men, no matter young or old. But the moment I get tired of them I start feeling joy in making them scream. In the end, I cut them alive and under their eyes, I eat their flesh."" His eyes turned glossy as he spoke about that making the people in front of him shrivel.

Isaa"s body turned stiff while listening to his words. In this and past life she saw and heard many bad things, but this man turned to be worse than any villain she ever met. Her stomach churned and she turned around to puke. 

Kendra slowly patted her back while staring at the big smile the man gave her. Just now she realized he has sharpened his teeth and turned them into shark-like. Is he even human anymore?

She had already a vision of things she plans in the future, but as it seems things like this will happen in the future as well. How can she stop it? Can she even stop it?

His body suddenly shot up and he was enveloped in countless fires. Screech could be heard from inside. ""You promised!""

She coldly looked at him. ""I usually keep my promises, but you are not worthy. I will punish you to eternal pain.""

With a wave of her hand bubble appeared around him and the fire inside turned his body in ashes, then slowly out ashes the body was formed and the circle continued again. The bubbly became smaller and smaller turning into a bead. The bead flew towards Kendra"s necklace and planted itself as a centerpiece inside the amulet.

Lord Williams came to Kendra and weakly smiled. ""Its time. We are ready.""

Kendra looked at the group of people and just blinked, turning them into motionless figurines. One after another of the young Lord"s people get close to the stiff figures and an amazing thing happened.

A large number of insects left those people and entered the loyal servants, including the dirty woman. 

Kendra looked at her appearance she used a spell to clean her appearance and real face could be seen under all that ugliness. The beautiful woman smiled at Kendra gratefully as she stood there to receive the bugs.

""I need to ask you for a favor, Kendra."" She said while waiting for those insects to enter her skin.

""Speak, how can I help you."" Kendra could feel that the people that are left on the cloud meant no harm. 

""When we go back I would like to be the guard of the place of these bugs. Some of them were inside of my children and I feel close to them. Somehow I feel like the only thing that is left of my kids are these creatures."" 

Kendra coudlnt make that promise so quickly. ""I know what you mean, but I have to tell you something. I still need permission from the mother of these. Just like you want to protect your own children so she does probably for her own offsprings.""

The woman nodded. ""I understand. In case I do not get permission I will ask for a bit of land near them. Only like that can my heart be calmer. Can I have that wish at least.""

Kendra smiled at her. ""That is possible. We can prepare everything for you.""

The woman smiled as she looked as teh last bugs entered her body and walked away to the other side like other people. 

Kendra looked at those stiff peopel and suddenly they were relieved. they knew that soon their life will end and they started wailing. But suddenly silence enveloped them.

Isaa looked at the big hole in the floor of the cloud and the peopel that were thrown to the ground. Even if tehy fell they wouldn"t die as the cloud this time was not very far from it.

Isaa looked down and saw that they all survived scrunching eh eyebrows. ""They are alive.""

Kendra patted her head while she nodded. ""If they survive this place and leave alive I will not kill them. But I don"t think that is highly possible. We pa.s.sed this place earlier but I put my s.h.i.+eld around our caravan so no beast dared to attack. ""

Isaa looked at them and shook her head. ""They are now without power and partially injured. Will blood attract the beasts?""

Kendra shrugged her shoulders and just closed the hole. ""Not our problem. If they work together, it is not impossible to survive.""

Isaa understood. These people worked together against Kendra, so she let them together outside. If they still work together, they still have a big chance to escape. She smiled mischievously and summoned a piece of paper from her bag. She swiftly  10 maps of this place and then looked ta Kendra. 

""Good idea. Like that we can give them at least some possibility to survive. the rest lais on them."" 

Kendra opened the hole in the floor of teh cloud and Isaa threw the maps in front fo those people. ""Here are maps of this place. Kendra has no wish to kill you. But to survive this place and go to a safe place you nee dto work together. From our side, the only thing you can get is this map. Rest os on you. Have a good and long life. Goodbye.""

A stunned group of people sighed in relief hearing that they won"t be killed and scrambled to take the maps. They saw the cloud going up in the sky and floating back over fire mountain. 

When they opened the map, they got frozen stiff in fear. The child really made the maps good enough, but at the same time, there were as well painted all kinds of animals around them. The worst thing, if they plan to escape they can"t even go to fire mountain, they would die from heat and fumes. 

They had to go opposite and pa.s.s through a bunch of dangers. they looked up and the fear crept even higher. It seems this time, they really have a big problem.

But Kendra on cloud actually started being again casual. She started talking to everyone and found the Elder from Tribe. 

""Soon we will arrive in our city. I hope you and your people would accept our offer.""

He patted her head and nodded. ""Our Tribe is grateful for all you did. That is the least we could do. Don"t worry.""

Kendra smiled happily and sat down with other people to hear the stories about the different places the tribe pa.s.sed. Who knows, maybe she will learn something or she can just relax and be a child again, right?
