""It seems that father wants to "prove" how good husband he is."" Isaa chuckled while Kendra joined in. Kendra looked at the sleeping girl in her arms and sighed. ""Aella, you have been naughty child, but at the same time quite a good cultivator. Isaa, could you believe that this child stabilized her own power alone and made her own pearl of power. It seems all those books we sent were perfect for her.""
Isaa nodded while Samuel and Colin stood by their side and shook their heads. ""Sister, will you take Aella with you? Too bad, she has no idea how beautiful this world is.""
Kendra rose her multicolored eyes towards them and smiled. ""She needs to see more darkness to be able to appreciate the light. There is so much anger inside her and this war will help her get rid of it. I hope at least.""
They all nodded while their aunt appeared next to her. ""Kendra, my child. I know Aella is a stubborn child, but she just wanted to be as strong as you do so she can stand by your side.""
Kendra nodded. ""I know. But she needs to learn a new life lesson, the cultivation is not only for raising powers and becoming strong. What is the point of having powers if you do not use it? Now the war came in perfect moment.""
She put unconscious Aella over her shoulder again and hugged her aunt with free arm. ""Aunt, I wouldn"t let Aella die, but I will get her hurt, shocked and terrified. She lived always like a princess and no matter how much we explained to her how terrifying the world is she never understood. Maybe after the war, she can start thinking clearly. If nothing else I will make the world just for her and she can do whatever she wants there.""
Suddenly a tiny voice could be heard. ""No way. You can"t make us build continents and let some brat destroy it as my wish.""
Kendra chuckled. ""Actually, I planned to just make open s.p.a.ce, without anything inside. I would create few walls, a floating house, few floating trees and many obstacles that she needs to pa.s.s. I have that kind of idea for a while, like a testing ground for cultivators. What do you think?""
A small creature floated next to her head and nodded. ""That is fine. Actually you can create continents just like we do, but we find it kind of wasteful if there is no life in it. The floating world you say..."" He started thinking about it as his eyes shone in excitement. ""When we come back I will talk to our people. I think they will have many ideas about how to test cultivators. Maybe even fighting zones where no life would be harmed except their own?""
Actually he was just thinking loudly as that is how every one of his kind does. Kendra had a wish to pinch these creature"s cheeks but Isaa was faster. Suddenly two cheeks were pulled in all kinds of direction making the Constructor yelp in pain.
He quickly escaped her mischievous fingers and hid inside Kendra"s long hair. Isaa just rolled her eyes. ""Hide hide. I will get you again later on.""
The Constructor childishly just stuck out his small tongue and made funny faces making everyone laugh. ""Kendra will protect me as I am important, right?""
Kendra nodded and took him into her hand. ""Of course, I will. And yes you are important. Your life is important as well those lives that started appearing now and then. Just one question, am I created by tour people as well?""
He pointed at his head and swirled his finger pointe at her that she is crazy. ""We are contractors, not creators. You are a strange mix of different kinds of powers. Even I am not sure what kind of are you. But does that matter. New life forms appear in this world daily. Some trough natural selection, some as the creators chose. But creators are hard to find.""
Now everyone was curious. ""What then about Grounding Fairies?""
he nodded. ""They can produce s.p.a.ce. And move continents, move animals, make continents, but the can"t create or construct. Their job is not easy tho. We have no power where our construction or creation might appear. Sometimes whole forests were found under the sea so Grounding Fairies had to save them replanting them on proper soil. It"s hard to control our powers.""
Kendra pointe at her world. ""what bout my world? I do not even control what is going on.""
He scratched his head. ""We are wondering as well. It seems you had a proper idea of what should be where. Like a plan in your head. Fishes in water, birds in air, beasts on land... You know what I mean. A plan.""
Kendra realized she just concentrated on her world more than other Grounding Fairies.
"" Good."" She completely accepted his explanation. ""The Creators are like you, hiding?""
He blinked ta her and laughed. ""You really have no idea, do you?""
She shook her head in confusion. ""I have no idea what you are talking about.""
He pointed at her back. ""There is one of them.""
She turned her head around and saw Marcus and Cethin standing. She knew what Cthins powers were but she never knew what real powers Marcus had. ""You are the creator?""
He shrugged. ""Yeah."" For the fist time, she looked at him staright and his ears finally started getting warm and red. ""What?""
She just averted her eyes from him and looked at the serious man next to him. ""It seems you changed.""
Cethin suddenly had a sarcastic smile and chuckled. ""I was so full of myself, thinking I knew it all. But he proved me wrong. So wrong. There is so much more I need to learn.""
Kendra nodded. ""Good that you finally stabilized your inner mind. Just in time. I think your father is here, we have to get out."" She stepped closer to Marcus and held his face with one hand. ""Thank you.""
""I already promised you, for the rest of eternity I will be by your side. No matter what happens."" He pinched her cheek and a smiel appeared on both of their faces.
Suddenly Marcus tuned into small light and floated up to the sky. ""Leave everything to me. I will protect this world with all I have. See you soon again, my Kendra.""
Kendra stared at the small light going higher and higher and becoming warm light that shone over people and the world. ""Thank you. When I come back we need to talk about so many things.""
Everyone stared at her in wonder while she turned her eyes towards Cathin. ""I guess you understood some things. That is good. Let us go now. This child is about to wake up and hse needs a real wake up call. "" She went closer to him and held his hand with a smile.
Her eye turned towards her family and she smiled brightly at them. ""I will see you after the war. I have no idea how long it will last but no matter what I want you all to know I love you all. I really do. Isaa, come.""
Isaa steppe by her side and smiled at everyone. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared the world full of people that loved and cared for them. deep in their soul that was the safety anchor, their harbor... their home.
