Groups of people descended in mid of the day from the sky bringing a bunch of vegetables and dead animals. Chief Taro saw familiar faces and stared at them with surprise. ""Jason? Your Grounding Fairy Sect helped us again?""Jason just sighed and motioned at his friends to leave the things. ""We actually cooked meals so far but after seeing many people trowing the food away we chose not to cook anymore. You people cook alone. We will go to the fis.h.i.+ng village and warrior village to ask for supplies and then bring them here. About those people outside, do not worry. This place is safe no matter what they try.""
Taro realized that a long time ago so he just nodded in confusion. Looking at huge vegetables he started ordering people. ""Gather all big pots, let"s make food.""
The whole day after that the people from Grounding Fairy sect were bringing in the food and left to Taro. At the end of the day, Jason came to him and pointed at the whole mountain of food. ""Storage those. Kendra said after a few days she will come with us and will tell you what to do. For now, eat these.""
That was clear words that he must ration the food as they won"t be coming for a while. He ordered to bring the food to storage. But then the problem arose. The females from Illo"s guild wanted more food than they needed. Taro at first didn"t think too much about it and gave them double portions but after he heard that they threw away the food after they got it he got upset and followed them one day.
""Eat how much you can rest throw away. If we use double amounts they will have less food. I heard that they will get new food in a few days. If we push it hard maybe they won"t have enough."" One of the females just threw away food in the corner of the forest while the other bowl she sat down and ate cleanly.
They didn"t see him behind them so when he suddenly appeared they screamed in fear, but then their fear turned into anger. ""What do you want?""
""From today on, you will get only one potion each. If you make troubles we will kick you out the city completely. Pregnant or not. Once you are outside, you won"t be able to come inside ever again. Do you even understand?"" He pointed at the forest as he spoke about kicking them out of the town.
But stupidity prevailed as they started arguing with him. ""We were given right to be inside the city. You can"t kick us out without any reasons, we are pregnant as well.""
Suddenly a female voice came behind Taro. He turned around as he saw his wife coming with other females from the inner city. ""If you want to stay inside the city we will not bother you. But if you continue making problems, we feel that you didn"t have the wish to actually stay here and raise your children in peace and comfort. Maybe all you want is for those poor babies to die in dirt and coldness outside.""
Realizing their word most of the women scurried and rushed toward the city while a couple of them stayed there defiantly. Taro just shook his head and held his wife"s hand as he turned around. ""We did warn them. The formation is like that. Once out you are unable to come back. Only formation maker can accept person inside again.""
The women turned their backs two the couple women that stood there and one by one walked back to the city. But they wouldn"t have expected suddenly to hear curses and screams behind them. As they turned around they saw plants extending their branches towards the women that started running in fear towards the city.
After that, it was peaceful for a few days. Outside there was no movement as Illo gathered as much army as he could, not knowing that all his effort will be wasted by one little girl.
Kendra and Jason just floated down and saw a bunch of people waiting for them. Of course, Jason had her in his arms so they couldn"t tell if she had powers or not. Taro came forward and smiled at her. ""Kendra, you came.""
She just nodded seriously and looked at the forest. ""About those people... They are becoming more and more unruly. It seems they are planning to make their own society here. Did they forget the timeline? Anyway. I told the fis.h.i.+ng village and warrior village, people, that they will be protected. I already send a few people to teach them how to grow their own food. The protective array will push further and will give you all enough s.p.a.ce to grow your own animals, food for yourselves and for animals as well. A few of my people found cows and will bring two of them here. Do not kill those animals for food. On hills, I will transplant in spring some of those big mushrooms so you people will have enough food. Any troubles here?""
He sighed and looked at the city. ""Those women make trouble from time to time. What should we do?""
Kendra looked that way as well. ""I will take care of them. What about your main task? How is work going on?""
He smiled brightly pointing at the top of the mountain. ""We were finished before the end of summer. Taskmaster laughed when eh heard we just want proper houses with normal windows and heating. Now inside all our people live comfortably. Women that are not pregnant are in female dormitories while males are on their own. Now we started preparing the earth for the garden and over winter time we have some plans as well. All in all, life is not so bad.""
Kendra chuckled. ""Good. Then you do what you plan I am going to check on troublemakers. let"s see what they have to say."" She wants to give them one last chance.
