""Since the moment you went to the tenth world, it was meant to be that two opposites meet."" His face started getting again his normal color.Kendra just silently waited as her heart hit against her chest harder and harder.
""You are grounding fairy"s offspring. Once every thousand years, one of the fairy"s can get a child. But the child needs to live outside their world and learn about other worlds so it could understand the worries and lives of the normal creatures. Actually, your true form is a bit different than this what you know. But all creatures turn into humans for a simple reason."" He coughed again lightly and then with a wave of the hand he summoned table filled with all kinds of delicacies and drinks.
Kendra didn"t even turn her sight at the food and just stared at his every movement as he took the time to drink his tea and eat his snacks. She feared to interrupt him as she could see him getting annoyed. It was important for her to learn real facts.
He stared at her lightly shaking pupils. ""Humans are most simple and at the same time most complicated creatures. Their actions, means, thoughts and feelings are so messy but at the same time make sense. They are made to procrastinate. If other creatures that reached high cultivation try to gain offsprings in their original form it fails most of the time. But the possibility to gain a child while in human form proved to be not higher, it made it actually highly possible. So after some time, all creatures choose to keep human form out of convenience.""
""You mean at first the walked around in their original forms?"" Kendra was now curious about the story behind everything but he shook his head.
""You misunderstood. Not all creatures could become cultivators. Everything became easier in human form. It seems as human body exoskeleton is filled with all kinds of substances, combined with their inner power and their soul, it makes them more p.r.o.ne to become cultivators."" It was hard to explain the difficult laws of universes.
Kendra scrunched her eyebrows and tapped her chin as she thought about it. ""So not all creatures even knew they knew they had powers before they didn"t start turning into human forms?""
He nodded. ""That is a basic truth. The worlds they come from do not have humans initially. So creatures that call themselves grounding fairies choose to make worlds where the creatures could live with humans together and learn from them how to use the cultivation methods.""
Kendra held her head. ""The basic idea is not bad, but the humans are the way to weird. They have all kinds of thoughts that not all creatures can comprehend or handle. How do you control that?""
He shrugged. ""We do not. There are billions of worlds. An only a small amount of cultivators pa.s.s the last tests. Some worlds never produce even one cultivator.""
She became silent and then looked at him. ""You still didn"t answer to me. If this is the fifth level world, what is on other higher-level worlds?""
He shook his head. ""You can"t learn about that now. There is a reason why you have to live in these worlds for a long time. You need to learn about other worlds first before even considering entering higher worlds.""
She just pouted but then nodded. ""I know. But being curious can"t hurt me, right?""
He just rolled his eyes. ""Of course, you can always find the information"s about upper worlds in books, but I recommend you learn more in lower worlds. There is always a reason for everything. After you come out you can choose to grow up or stay in this form. It is not a must to become grown-up, you know. About this world, it was not my idea. I had to give you quests that would make you all work together and learn more about each other. Unfortunately..."" He sighed.
She pressed her lips. ""Others seem to use this world as they want. Right? Why don"t you raise the latter a bit?""
He blinked. ""How do you mean?""
""Grounding fairy had many thoughts about this world as she made it. I am sure that those harmless animals are meant to feed people while they try to procreate, but at the same time to teach them not to kill too many as I could see those vegetables."" She suddenly had a playful smile as her eyes turned light orange.
When he saw that fox-like expression he felt sorry about those cultivators. ""What kind of weird ideas do you have in that weird head of yours""
A small chuckle escaped her lips as her small teeth could be seen. ""What do you expect. I lived as a human for most of my lifetime. Having all kind of ideas seem all I can think off. In the world where I grew up I even personally killed a man with my two hands. My heart didn"t even hurt when I did that. Am I not the evilest grounding fairy""
He shook his head. ""Of course not. Your mother is scarier. Trust me, I know her for a long time and when she gets angry even your father is scared of her powers. It seems you inherited her basic powers as well. So in the future, you might be as powerful as she is.""
""Can you tell me more about my parents. Didn"t they feel fear that something might happen to me? How could they leave me in such a world just like that without ensuring my safety."" Trough her words he could feel her pain clearly.
""What are you talking about? I was there when they gave you a good standing family that seemed to understand about cultivation. He even left enough of that currency for you to live comfortably until you grew up old enough to live alone..."" His face was seriously surprised.
She could see his expression and just blinked. ""None of you ever went to check on me all this time. At least my parents?""
He shook his head. ""Grounding fairies live quite an amount of time. Even if they cultivate slowly they could leave the world when they are around hundreds of highest. If you didn"t come out that world by then your mother would probably erase that world completely out of anger. Grounding fairies are highly overprotective towards their offsprings.""
""I still have no idea how could she not even think about her child for 100 years?"" This time she started getting upset.
He shook his hands and head. ""Wait for it, Kendra, you misunderstand something.""
She blinked at him waiting for his explanation. He sighed in relief seeing that she didn"t completely lose rationality and got angry. ""Actually, each world has a different timeline.""
""What are you talking about?"" Her eyes became big as she thought of something.
He sighed and sat don again. ""Every world time is two times slower than in the other world. Say the tenth level is the fastest timeline. Then two times slower is 9th, four times is slower 8th world. Seventh is 16 times slower, the sixth is 32 times slower and the fifth world is 64 times slower."" He could see her face getting pale. ""Hundreds of years in your mother"s world is like 100 hours in your tenth world.""
She covered her eyes. ""That is the reason?""
He chuckled. ""You have no idea how many treats your father had before leaving. She is all woozy. He sent her message that you came out and are safe in the fifth world so she is now calmer and is concentrating on the real work grounding fairies do. But I can"t tell you more about it now. It is not the time for it.""
""So practically she is waiting for me now to grow my powers and skills and join her? Not going even to see me yet? Hah..."" Her face clearly showed bitterness.
He looked at her not understanding her thoughts. ""I do not understand, you know all the facts... How can you still be angry at her, she is...""
Kendra rose her hand to stop him. With a sarcastic smile, she shook her head. ""My mother lived too long as a grounding fairy and forgot the real meaning of being a mother. I do not need that. Because of them, that child died. I..."" She stopped her words and just shook her head.
""Kendra you misunderstand her, she really loves you, really..."" He tried to explain but could see that child"s eyes becoming again distant. What happened to her that she had such hatred towards her own family?
She rose her hand and suddenly bright s.h.i.+ne enveloped his body. With big eyes, he looked at her and disappeared. With a sigh, she sat down on the bed where he just was sitting and laid down as she whispered. ""You all should lose your powers and learn how to be humans again. Being human is not that bad. The feelings of humans are precious. Their love and care for children that they love...""
