Kendra was calmly watching Sokk in his original form screech at humans. Actually, in original, for they were literally speaking other languages and usually humans wouldn"t understand them.But, a long time ago she realized that if she exists in one world, there is no language barrier. She is like a walking translator. Or better said they all became knowledgeable of the other languages.
But the generations after she leaves won"t have the same trait. Only those that are alive at that time speak all existing languages. On them is then to transfer the knowledge to younger generations, or not.
"Move faster! The split in s.p.a.ce is going to close soon. And the next opening will be in one month. We can"t wait that long. Move!" The creature screamed at petrified people and pulled the chains that they were connected with.
Seeing the chains her face became dark. Humans always have that stupid luck to be enslaved by each other, or in this other species.
She was angry. Such behavior was not something she will let happen. "So, you people think I don"t exist anymore, or what?"
Sokk froze. Suddenly a dark figure flew towards her and literally bounced back. As she watched at the figure she realized it was that little girl from before. "I gave your kind chance of survival. But you came back. Do you really want to die?"
Humans stopped and watched the creature try again and again to attack her, unsuccessfully. Even the few Sokk changed to human form and stated at her calm expression with rising fear. What made them even more fearful is that the door to their world was about to close.
Kendra saw the s.h.i.+ny gate pulsing faster and faster and chuckled evilly as few Sokk changed again to the original form and tried pa.s.sing. But nothing happened.
With a move, she pushed softly humans and coveted them with protection s.h.i.+eld. She pressed her lips with finger to motion to be silent and then floated down.
As soon she was in front of them Sokk became even more frantic in their movement. They tried to hit, brake or claw their way through the invisible s.h.i.+eld to escape through the gate. Only that girl persisted attacking her.
She watched her stubborn expression and chuckled. In any other case, she would like this child for persistence, but Sokk is really not something to keep by her side.
"Child, do you hate me?" She was curious why Mi didn"t give up.
The girl stopped and saw her warm smile. "You smell good. So much energy. I feel like if I eat you I"ll finally get rid of this persistent hunger. Human meat was fine for me until I met you, now your energy is what I want. I must have."
Kendra nodded. "In that dark place, energy is the most important thing. But, you must know something. There are many ways of gathering energy, without eating it. I"ll give you something and if you like it I"ll teach you a few things."
The girl nodded calmly while the other Sokk changed into humans and approached them in curiosity. Actually, even tho they seem all grown up, never anyone spoke to them in this manner.
Humans were astonished. Looking at the woman that calmly summoned a platter of s.h.i.+ny fruits and presenting it to the scary creatures.
The little girl got a big s.h.i.+ny apple and blinked at her. "This is an apple. But I never felt such energy from apples before."
Kendra patted her head. "Of course not. This is something I invented to stop cultivators from being hungry. You see that urge to have energy, all cultivators have. No matter human or the other kind. Your big brother must have told you that human meat is yummy. But it has no energy you need to survive. Commoners can"t fill your urge, even if you eat millions of them. You will still be hungry. Now try this and tell me how you feel after that."
The Sokk and humans carefully watched the little girl. The sound of bit could be heard and crunching as she ate the apple. Her face was filled with questions at first but then became happy. She literally swallowed whole fruit and patted her belly in wonder.
"I... I"m not hungry anymore." She saw Kendra taking a small girl from nearby and planting her in front of Mi. She smelled the girl and wrinkled her eyebrows. "Ugh, I just realized that humans stink. No wonder I never was full."
Kendra smiled as she pointed hugged the small girl in her arms. "These creatures wanted to eat your kind as they were hungry, just like you ate hungry now, but not are what to eat, right?"
"I want to eat pizza." She patted her grumbling belly.
Kendra looked at humans and floated up to let them all see her. "It is like when you want to eat pizza but don"t know how to make it. And in end eat a few leaves of green salad."
They understood her meaning as they could hear their conversation. With a slow motion, she brought back the little girl to her happy parents and after patting her head. She flew back to Sokk that almost chocked on fruits that she gave them.
"I"ll give you fruits and seeds. I am sure there must be places with the rising sun. Go there and plant these. If you are careful and use seeds to produce more fruits, you might live happily for a long time." She gave a bag of seeds to one calmly looking Sokk and turned her head yo the little girl. "Mi, you must cultivate. I"ll teach you now how to do that. You can use my method and grow the powers that will help you. If you cultivate, that hunger will disappear after while. Food won"t be needed."
Mi nodded and listened to her words intently. But actually everyone listened to her, Sokk and humans as well.
The other Sokk watched on end Kendra putting a protection s.h.i.+eld around Mi and gratefully smiled. "We knew she was special. Even big brother was watching over her."
Kendra shook her head. "You think she is special, your brother thinks she is tasty. He wanted to keep her by his side and eat her. Go back and escape. Try cultivating as I taught you. OK?"
They nodded and took Mi between them. Getting a blessing from the powerful creature, Mi was first of their kind. They knew she will be protected from now on. But they still chose to stay by her side.
Mi turned her head around and rushed back, but this time with open arms. As Kendra caught her she sniffled on more time her body and chuckled. "You still smell tasty, but I"ll be good from now on. I promise."
Kendra nodded and put her down again. "One day I"ll visit your world. Until then grow your powers and protect your fruits. You can sell them. Or gift them. Or just eat them. Become powerful but don"t become mean. Live and let others live as well. Understood?"
Mi nodded. "I promise. I will wait for you. Please come to me."
Kendra nodded. ""It will take me some time, but you must wait. OK?"
Mi hugged her one more time and rushed to the crowd of people waiting for her. They rushed through the open fate and disappeared and just moments later the gate disappeared as well.
Kendra turned her eyes towards humans and showed herself in her true form. "Let me introduce myself. I"m G.o.ddess Kaia..."
