This time he froze as he saw her looking seriously at his face. He touched his cheeks and tried to wish off whatever was there stuck. ""Is there something on my face?""Kendra seriously nodded and started counting on her hand. ""Your eyes, nose, lips, ears, eyebrows... dimples. Complete face indeed."" A small chuckle escaped her lips and he sighed in relief.
""You are naughty..."" That was an undeniable statement.
She just shrugged. ""I can afford it. Didn"t you say you wanted to spoil me? That kind of speech makes me become quite a brat. Can"t you even handle that?""
""I can."" He said firey beliving completely in Kendra"s judgment in what is right and what is wrong.
Kendra could only roll her eyes. ""I am a grown-up woman in a child"s body. But even when I grow up I will not change my nature. Are you really willing to have such a willful woman around you?""
He smiled brightly. ""So what? Being willful is your right from start on. But you still chose to grow to be a good child. Having such enormous powers you could have obliterated the whole world, but you still chose to leave it complete when you left. Willful? I want to see what is really willful in your eyes.""
While he spoke the two dimples became more p.r.o.nounced and would come and go by each word. She stared at them and then at his face and could literally feel the warmth coming from him, his being. ""What kind of creature you are, I do not care. You chose to use the human form so keep on doing so. But one day you have to show me your true form. I am curious.""
He nodded and patted her head slightly. ""Your powers are still too little to be able to handle the pressure that my body produces. Please, grow your powers slowly. If you grow them to fast, the balance inside your body won"t be created. You are now very powerful. I admit that. But your balance is still unsteady. You didn"t even pa.s.s half of the century of human life and you are this powerful. Do you think this is good?""
Kendra remembered when she always nagged Isaa about growing powers too fast and chuckled. ""I understand. When I come out I will go to closed cultivation for many years together with Isaa. She needs to stabilize her powers as well. Thank you for your care."" She came closer and without warning, she hugged his arm.
""I wanted to hug your waste but you are at the moment still too tall for me so it would be to awkward. I hope you don"t mind me being so close."" Kendra liked being hugged. All the things that happened in the past and this life made her realize how much she missed those two people. ""I will live quietly here next few years. After that, I will go to closed cultivation. I think those two people don"t really understand parenting. The rule to throw away child by birth is the stupidest thing I ever heard in life."" Both lifetimes.
He stroked her soft hair and sighed. ""No matter how much I tell Elders that the decision to send away children is a bad decision, they do not listen. But the moment my child is born, I will live with it. I do not care in what world. I will just choose a good world and teach it well myself. I do not wish to have my child have such experiences as you did. And at the same time, I do not wish my child to live like your kind. Sorry, I am actually amazed by their power of creation, but their thoughts... I give up.""
Since he was young he always pictured Grounding Fairies as beautiful, powerful and wise creatures. The first two a.s.sumptions were right until he met them. With time he pulled back from them and realized why other kinds tried to avoid them as well. Her mother was an exception as she had many wise things to say. But after he met Kendra he realized that everything she had to say was nothing important.
Her mother just was smarter than others and had good adoptive parents that made her learn many things. That"s it. Kendra, on the other hand, had her own ideas, thoughts and emotions that were impossible to copy. So he thought. But seeing her teaching others her ways he felt proud.
He met such an exceptional person. Even if she were not willing to b with him, he would become her friend and companion for eternity. standing by her side and seeing her grow. He was willing to do that.
""Kendra."" He softly spoke her name. ""I do not know is this feeling I have love or idolization. I just want to be around you the whole time. My life so far was quite filled with all kinds of happenings. But, I was never so interested in someone as a person than as in you. How can I describe it...""
He went silent while he tried to explain his emotions but it was hard. Really hard to explain. A soft hand patted his ram and when he turned two bright eyes seem to be able to look down into his soul. ""Yes, I know what you mean. I can read your soul.""
He froze but then rubbed his temples. ""Should I even be surprised? I give up. You have so many strange powers that have nothing to do with your kind. I am accepting it all. Great! Soul searcher on top of that..."" His eyes comically rolled and he blinked at her couple times. ""What is next? Time changer.? s.p.a.ce waver?""
But looking at her becoming silent he stared at her with bulging eyes. ""No way! You can"t be that over powerful. That is ridiculous! Or maybe not..."" He calmed down suddenly and became silent.
Kendra saw his eyes clouding as he thought about something deeply and let him be. She turned her head towards the horizon and opened her arms.
The energy of settling light was as strong as starting light. As small wisps of power slowly flew towards her body and were implemented into her power of power he stood there and finally understood. This person is not just Grounding Fairy.
He needs to find out about the complete family line. If what he thinks happened, then she is really the child that they were spoken off. And in that case, she must know everything. Soon, he must tell her, but how will she able to handle that?
