""Did you see?"" Isaa held Cyan Jade in her hands and chuckled. ""What will happen now?""""They will or try group themselves against our people or become silent and attack us when we come out the world. This or that way, we became torn in many people"s eyes. What they do not know is that our people gained powers that they cant fight with. The defensive abilities that I showed them and thought they will save our lives and our sect can survive for a long long time."" Isaa glanced back at the beach that they just left.
""Do you plan to tell them what happened?"" Isaa was this time curious.
""Of course. Such things should not be hidden. They deserve to know the change that occurred in this world the moment this creature was born. Now I understand many things that happened before. Many things..."" Isaa stared silently at the small creature that cutely played with its own paws in Isaa"s arms.
Isaa looked at Kendra in worry. A strange and foreboding feeling filled her heart. ""When we leave, we will still go to other worlds and check other places. We still have so many things to learn. Right?""
Her bad feeling finally made shape as Kendra just patted her hand. ""Kendra, you promised to be around me for a longer time. You promised never to leave me again.""
Her urgent words made Kendra become still. Then she seriously looked at Isaa. ""I will travel the continents later. We can live for hundreds of years. It"s not like I gave up the promise. It is only...""
Isaa"s heart thumped heavy. "" Only what? Only what, Kendra?"" Her eyes became s.h.i.+ny as tears welled up.
""Well. We will be here for the next four years. Then when we go out, I plan to pull myself again back into the cultivation room for few years. Uhm..."" Kendra"s face became red. ""I need to grow my body...""
Isaa suddenly stilled. She held in one hand Cyan Jade but in the other, she held Kendra and started crying. ""Big sister, you are so mean. You scared me so much. I thought you will leave me.""
Kendra blinked at her with big surprised eyes. ""You are not angry? When we come back we will first visit mother and father and then I will go and cultivate a few years. I think it is time I start looking like a grown-up as well. I am kind of nervous, you know?""
""Why?"" Isaa wondered as she never saw Kendra nervous.
""Well. After a long time, I will be grown up. It is scary, especially if you have a strange old man following you around like a stalker."" Kendra suddenly rose her voice and rolled her eyes.
Isaa just looked at her and curiously asked her. ""What is a stalker?""
""Stalker is a creepy person that usually turns into someone who wants to harm you or kill you. Which one are you, Taskmaster?"" Kendra crossed her arms across her chest and stared at empty s.p.a.ce behind them.
To Isaa"s surprise beautiful man with long hair suddenly appeared and scared Cyan Jade. The small creature almost dug itself into Isaa"s arms as it got too scared. Isaa just patted its head. ""Don"t worry he is not a bad guy. Kendra was joking. Right, Kendra?""
Kendra looked at the two small ears sticking between Isaa"s fingers and tuned towards her like antennas to hear her words. She nodded. ""I just made fun of this old man. He is really not a bad person. You can trust him.""
As Taskmaster still floated on the same place the two ears suddenly rose bit by bit and two big green eyes appeared and looked at him. As Cyan Jade saw Taskmaster its eye became quite s.h.i.+ny and it started wagging its tail.
Isaa and Kendra looked at each other and then started chuckling and looking at Taskmaster. ""Ugh, this kid seems to have taken a liking towards you, Taskmaster. When it grows enough, you can take it as a spouse. Ancients are powerful creatures."" Kendra was poking at its forehead and joked.
Taskmaster just floated there with a serious expression and suddenly the two women felt something was wrong. Kendra saw him been serious. ""What is it? Is there a problem with our baby?""
He nodded. ""Do you know how rare are ancient babies? But looking at two of you, it seems you met ancient before? Right?""
Kendra nodded. ""There was ancient that lived too long as human and his mind was not clear when he had to break through the boundary and last test in a secret forest. And failed. So he went back to his basic form. I met him then. He is our friend and family.""
Taskmaster sighed deeply. ""Two of you are really giving me a headache. All the things you two knew and did so far, how is it possible that it all appeared in the tenth world.""
Kendra came closer to him. ""Why couldn"t it? The tent world on fist glance seems to be bad but they are perfect for new life forms appearing or new worlds being built inside each of the worlds. And after all. Luck is a skill as well.""
Taskmaster got closer to the ancient baby and shook his head. ""Who would have thought it looks so, cuddly..."" He picked it up from Isaa"s hands and to her astonishment the creature loved it. It wiggled its tail quickly and slightly whimpered as Taskmaster held it by two paws and it was quite uncomfortable.
""Taskmaster, you are hodling it wrong. With small help from Isaa he held properly the little one in his arms and felt sudden warmth pa.s.sing trough his whole body.
He pinched its small cheek and shook it slightly. ""You little... You are too young to do that kind of thing. Do not overuse your powers, your body is still small. Just ask these two to help you. From now on you will leave a new life. Please be good and grow steadily. Cyan Jade... It fits well.""
