Kendra sat there for a while silently but then the long walk finally made her too exhausted and she slowly slipped into slumber and then sleep. Her small head slowly leaned on his shoulder and her even breath escaped her lips.He smiled, picked her up and slowly put her body inside the tent. As he closed the tent he looked on more time towards Claro and shook his head. This man is his friend and the biggest fool of all.
Kendra is right. Men in love are fools. But not every love is true love. So where does Kendra"s heart actually lies? Who does she love? Does she love actually anyone? Yes. That is the most correct question. What are actually Knedras real feelings?
He sat down next to her and could see her long eyelashes even trough that little light that came from moons.h.i.+ne. Her face was even, but not perfect. It was pet.i.te but not small. It was beautiful, attractive but not to the point of being too much. Kendra was just... Kendra.
Sounds of birds woke them all up. The smell of cooked food made them all jump from their beds and rush towards the smell. they stopped to see Kendra standing in front of a huge table were various food and couple huge eggs stood.
She looked at a group of people with a smile. ""Good morning! Go wash up and we shall eat something. Then we need to gather food and start moving back home. Hurry!""
They quickly scrambled to the nearest river to wash up and rushed back. Indeed. They need to start moving soon. Their speed will be slower anyway because of the food. When they came back she prepared flour patties and fried vegetables with eggs. As eggs were huge all of them had enough to eat. She sighed as she saw a group of people looking at the pots in front of her with a funny expression.
""You guys eat as well and wash up everything. I need to show them what they should pick up. Let two of you with us so they learn what vegetables they should pick up and which one not."" They nodded and rushed to take the food while she just washed her mouth and stood there looking at the plants.
The breakfast finished quickly and they stood up and looked at her. So the vegetable gathering cla.s.s started. She explained what pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, onions and many other sorts they should pick up.
As they filled the carriages with all kinds of things she sighed. ""It"s still not enough. You should come back in a week or so. Or as many times as possible. Save the seeds and replant them on any open s.p.a.ce you can. Do not destroy the stalks while gathering as you will nee dit again next time. Destruction makes no sense.""
That place was so huge that when they came back they gathered more people from different kinds of villages and every day there was coming and going. But most of all earned those people from Illo"s village. they finally finished their task and the group split that moment.
The man that accepted Kendra"s help, Kalu, choose a few tens of men and women to leave Illo"s village and start their own village not far from town. They choose all to cut their hairs and started just living a normal life. But Illo and the rest of the people didn"t learn their lessons and started making trouble.
Unfortunately for them, warrior village got a task from Kendra to work as police and army. So whenever Illo"s people tried to act like ruffians and bully those form Warrior village would come out some corner and would beat them up. With gusto.
Kendra finally got her to wish. They pulled back their people and just came once a month to exchange cloth with others. They sold the gray cloth so cheap that many people wondered why. But why not? There are just a few more years left and she knew they are getting out this or that way. It"s not like they needed that stuff in the other world.
But they didn"t want to give it away for free either. So they sold it. They sold most of it to the nearby villages and leftover they would sell those traveling traders.
Anyway, Kendra spent the rest of the summer literally in the water. She loved the sea. They found a beautiful beach where men already prepared simple housings. They came to this place and took even the two holy beats with them. But after a while, they chose to go back, as they preferred the life there.
Kendra didn"t care anymore about anything. She let others switch places every two weeks as there were still many things to do around the house. They already redid half of the village with claystone so when fist fall rains started coming to Kendra came home and stared at the village that shone in new looks.
Everyone looked at Kendra with expectant eyes as she inspected house by house. On the end, they went to the large gathering room that was finally done and sat in mid. With sigh on her serious face, she looked around and made them feel distressed.
Then a sudden huge smile shone on her face brightening up the whole room. ""I was right. You all are amazing even without me. Now I can ease my mind. Even if I am not around you all, I know that in the future you will learn from each other and the mistakes you make. In our sect, there shouldn"t be many secrets. Choose new arrivals wisely. It doesn"t mean that you have to take anyone. Just those that seem worthy. You see. Even tho our Grandmaster is a silly fool, but he chose each of you with much thought. Next year we will be done with our task and you all should just enjoy your time and cultivate wherever you can.""
She looked at the two little ones and smiled. ""How id the Thinga and children react to each other?""
Isaa smiled as well. ""Those three seem to be best friends. By the way, the Ting slowly really looks like an egg...""
Anita suddenly started laughing. ""It is acting like a spoiled child. When Isaa comes it flies straight to her arms and acts cute. That was the first time seeing any egg acting cutely. Strange and funny at the same time.""
Isaa nodded and everyone started laughing and telling their stories with the Thing.
Meanwhile at the fluffy cloud...
