The transportation stone outside Celadon Valley shone in bright light and suddenly a group of people appeared. ""Indeed this is faster. But I still like traveling with clouds."" Lais still loved the purple cloud that Kendra gave her.
""I know. But now we have no time to lose. I have a really bad premonition and I rarely am wrong. Let"s go to the Capital city transportation plate.""
There were five big plates that could transport people around the country. One of the plates was in Capital city. The other four were set in four different big cities across the country.
They invented now a new way with new spells so soon there will be needed only for one stone in every city to choose to travel.
Entering the spell you can just go to the city you need to. But it will take them time to build all the transportation plates in the cities. They send already emissaries around the country to find power users and set up the power plates.
They stepped to the main power plate and were sent instantly to the capital.
But the moment they were about to appear there something happened and the stone cracked.
The bad premonition seem to become true. ""Bad. Something will happen. Everyone. Try to travel as fast as you can. I will go in advance.""
Kendra rose her powers to the pike of the last boundary and can actually go to the next plane, but she knew that it was not time. But because she had so much power she could perform instant teleportation to the place of her wish.
Unfortunately for the other side, they had no idea how strong she was. She chooses to appear in one of the rooms in the palace and changed into servant"s clothes.
As her calm steps could be heard in a long hallway unusual silence prevailed in a usually busy place.
Her heart knocked hard against her ribs as she scanned the empty place. ""What is actually going on here?""
She could feel the wind around her and smiled lightly. ""Good, this will help me to find out.""
She sent wisp of wind power into the slight breeze and as it pa.s.sed the rooms, chambers, hallways she got more and more worried. There was no living creature inside. Not even fly or spider.
""This is getting stranger..."" As small breeze reached the big hall it suddenly felt resistance from inside.
Kendra blinked with her eyes and appeared in front of the door. And what she saw would freeze the blood in normal humans.
Everything was covered in some kind of mucus that had power and tried to such in something inside. Like some big large animal ingesting their food. She used some of her internal forces around herself as a s.h.i.+eld and wanted to touch it, but that things got scared and squirmed away from her fingers.
Kendra tilted her head to the side as she was a bit puzzled. ""Is this thing scared of me, or does it want me to enter and then attack me? Hmmm. Strageeeee.""
She tried multiple times to poke at different spots and the same thing happened over and over again. As she played around she let a sliver of her consciousness in the gap to scan inside. But it hit some invisible s.h.i.+eld and bounced back.
""Oh? So, it seems I really need to get in. Fine. Let"s see what will happen."" She already full-body protection one with her own s.h.i.+eld and with the clothes made of true nature ore. If this doesn"t help then nothing will.
But the moment she entered something happened to the whole structure as it began to shake uncontrollably. Kendra searched with her eyes around the place and finally, in one room she saw a bunch of people lying on the floor unconsciously.
Between the people were even the current King and her husband. He held her body in his arms to protect her as his scrunched eyebrows showed that he was in pain.
She blinked and appeared next to them. She used her power to scan their body functions and realized that they were in some kind of dream and couldn"t wake up.
If it was the place from before she could have put them on machines and would wait for them to wake up, but now if she let them stay in this state... Her eyes darted around and she saw people in every corner of this place stuffed like some kind of sardines.
Or food? Like some kind of storage? ""I have no idea who had this ""smart"" idea to do this, but whoever it is, it will surely get some of my rage.""
She used her spell of recovery and suddenly blinding light shone and spread his healing power over every single living been in this place.
A sigh could be heard from King"s mouth and her long eyelashes trembled before slowly opening her dazed eyes. At first, she could just see the shape of someone in front of her, but then a spark of light fell on that white hair and induced halo around Kendra"s head. She could hear her worried words.
""Aunt?"" A hand appeared in front of her and suddenly she could feel a stream of energy filling every cell in her body.
""Kendra, child, it"s dangerous here. Please run!"" She felt worried. Then she suddenly felt heavy. A spike of dizziness enveloped her. ""Quickly. Thos people arrived and want to take over the whole continent.""
Kendra could feel that her healing was not enough to keep her awake. Something strong was pulling her consciousness back into that state everyone else was. ""What is this? Maybe it is good this way. Ne turning instead of G.o.d into Devil. Maybe they should not see me this way. I can break their trust in me. I definitely can"t."" She murmured as she slowly laid King back in her husband"s arms.
She caressed her face and smiled softly. ""Aunt. I will make them suffer unimaginable pain for the way they treated you and the rest of living beings. Just stay here and rest.""
With a wave of her hand smoke rose from everywhere and suddenly every living being was laying on a humongous cloud. ""This is the comfort you all need to receive. Sleep well. I will be back soon. ""
After a.s.suring that everyone was comfortable and safe she turned slowly around and left that place.
With a small smile, she stared at the creature that had hundreds of thousands of people under its body. ""Let them all be safe. If you don"t and I come back to see them harmed I will hurt you.""
Her smile became bright as her eyes turned deeply red and her hair suddenly grew long and red as blood. The power around her started fluctuating so her hair started fluttering around like living being itself.
The creature started s.h.i.+vering. Few of its veins started crawling towards Kendra and stopped just a couple steps away. It started building something that looked like a human without a face.
Kendra just stared at it coldly as the thing bowed deeply and then nodded.
She waved her hand and turned around. Her face turned into calm expression giving even more frightful appearance. ""Today is a day when I will exterminate some vermins from this city. It seems they multiplied quite a bit.""
As she slowly floated up in the air and hovered over the city, dark clouds started gathering and heavy thunders could be heard. Out the sky melodious laugh could be heard. ""You dirty things will die in my hands today. Be ready... Here I come!!!""
