Cethin stared at the empty table and the few fruits that they nibbled on when he came back. He felt hungry again. Since when did he start yearning for food? Or was he hidden foodie the whole time?His gaze stopped on Kendra. He lived like a fool for over five hundred years. In the eyes of his father, he was just a small chick and he realized he really was. Kendra changed his view to the world around him in so many ways that without her, nothing would be the same.
Ever again.
Feeling his eyes on herself Kendra"s cheeks suddenly felt hot. Strange. She is a cultivator. A powerful one, such simple emotion... even hear heartbeat became quicker.
Weasel stared at her in curiosity as she nibbled on her lips. ""Can your kind become sick? Or shy? What is in your mind? I am dying of our curiosity. Your every change is effecting everyone as well. you need to handle your powers better.""
He wanted to say more but two hands hugged him tightly. ""You are Creator. What is this strange feeling? I feel so... happy, and nervous and look at my heart. This feeling...""
He held again his paws on his head. ""You lived two lives and never had this feeling? Whoa, let me go, I think I know the person you should talk with. Woah, can"t believe this. Seriously?!"" He jumped out of her hug and started running while Kendra rushed after him. ""Stop right there! She will come to you. Can"t believe this.""
Kendra foolishly stopped and stared at the little forest. Suddenly a woman came out of the forest with a big smile and headed towards her. ""Kendra, my husband told me what happened. men are sometimes really insensitive, right? Luckily my man knows me well so he is good to me, but other women he really has no idea how to deal with them.""
Kendra smiled. ""How are kids? I didn"t see them for a while.""
""They are complaining as they want to eat your meals. They love your cooking."" The woman chuckled while her deep green eyes looked ta her with warmth.
""Good, then before I leave this place I will cook enough dishes just for your family. I promise. And I will add sweets and candies. I anyway planned to cook a lot for everyone"s storage. Let them eat what they like. It"s great to be child and feel the warmth of the family."" She smiled at her and sat at the nearby stone.
""You grew up beautifully."" The woman slowly stroked her long hair. ""For so long you were child, a boy, a girl... mischievous one. I plan to let my children be playful kids for a while. They will be grown-ups for eternity. I will let them be children for many years until they don"t become tired of it and wish to grow. I m quite selfish am I not?""
Kendra shook her head and took her hand int her own. ""I had a wish to be a child for a long long time, but the situation changed my mind. Well anyway, I need to ask you about my strange emotions. I am a cultivator that has quite good control over emotions. But just while ago I suddenly felt a surge of many emotions at the same time.""
The woman thought about it and asked her a few questions. ""What was the situation that happened at that moment? Is there something different than usual? Was someone around that could be a reason to cause you to feel different?""
Kendra suddenly realized but was feeling kind of strange about that. ""There is a possible reason. A man that I made choice to be my future partner was there and eating my food deliciously. I liked how he enjoyed the food I cook. Earlier he just came back and I felt his gaze on me and then those feelings suddenly started swirling through my body. But why can"t I control them? I am cultivator after all.""
The woman chuckled. ""And I am Creator, but still had that foolish feeling when I met my husband by chance. Literally by chance. Usually, two creators never live in the same world. But when I met him it was like he was the part of the body that I didn"t know it was missing. There is something that is called soul partners. But looking at your feelings now, it seems your reaction is strong but still somehow flat. Is there someone else you have in mind as well?""
Suddenly Kendra"s heart became fast again when she thought about Marcus. ""There is, but I felt disappointed by him. Strangely, why do I react the same on both of them? I heard creators can have only one soul partner.""
The woman nodded. ""Maybe because your are different or those two are something we call a split soul.""
""Split soul?"" She was curious. ""What is that?""
""That is when powerful being gets destroyed and two splits of its soul survives the destruction. In that case, your real reaction to both of them is actually the third person. Or both together as they are. Would you destroy the two of them to recreate the old soul?"" She asked Kendra with serious expression but got relaxed when Kendra shook her head.
""If I do that then their own individuality and thought, their feelings and actions, their own care for me... those things will disappear. Just to make perfect partner I had to destroy two imperfect? Who says they are not as good as they are. Even with their own imperfections and mistakes, I think they are both amazing as they are now. Each of them has his own meaning to me. What is perfection? Such a thing is not existent as everyone as its own thoughts of such a view. I just want them to stay just like they are now. Am I selfish?"" Kendra felt a bit of fear when she thought about losing any of these two fools.
The woman then smiled. ""That means you made your decision. The feeling you have, do not control it. Just try to understand it. That will be enough then.""
Kendra turned her eyes towards her and smiled. Yes, she understood them while ago, but felt too shy to admit it. She really had feelings for those fools...
