Kendra just started slicing the wall thinly, like it was some kind of cheese. Thin pieces of metal fell down with a loud sound. Click, clack, zip...
She was highly concentrated in what she was doing that she didn"t even realize the silence around her.
Elders, seeing her ignoring them, all gave up staring at her and started concentrating as well. But even with high concentration, they could cut just a few pieces before their energy was almost empty.
Kendra continued slicing again and again so long till she felt little tired. When she stopped she saw in front of her huge pile of thin slices and just gathered them into the s.p.a.ce bag.
She turned around and saw everyone sitting around tables in silence and listlessly poking at the food on it. There was still lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in her s.p.a.ce so she took it out at put on tables.
But people ignored her action and silently sat there not even making one sound.
She scratched her head as she didn"t know why they acted that way."Uh, what is actually going on? Why ate you all acting like that?"
Isaa hopped off the chair and went towards her with a slight grudge on her face. " Kendra, do you know how long you were cutting the wall?"
Kendra shook her head as she had no idea.
"You were so concentrated that you almost missed our parent"s wedding," Isaa said while shaking her head.
It seems that Kendra was in her world when she concentrates. No matter what they did and how much they called, she did not react. She continued doing her cutting concentrating deeply.
The worst thing was that when they tried to touch her body, the energy s.h.i.+eld automatically appeared and protected her. Ta.s.sio was itching to attack the energy s.h.i.+eld but Lais got almost instantly furious. Somehow he never has felt to wish to fight her so he let her curse him and point her finger at his nose.
The situation was so funny that Isaa supported Lais at her site and put some oil on the fire.
But Kendra didn"t stop no matter what happened. Xara"s and Lord Ca.s.sian"s wedding should be in two more days and they almost moved the wedding date because they wanted Kendra to be there.
Kendra felt quite ashamed and went red." I am sorry... " She hugged Xara that was actually just happy about Kendra"s abilities. Like that this child should be quite safe in the world outside the fief.
"I am happy having you two as children. Now I am sure about your safety. Go and travel the world. Don"t worry about us. We are safe..." She smiled at Kendra and patted her head.
"Mother, me and Isaa will be gone for one day. We want to prepare a wedding gift for two of you. I am sure you will love it. Knowing our father and you, I"m certain that you already prepared beforehand everything for the wedding. I promise that we will be back on time to help you greet the guests. And knowing you ... the clothes are ready, right?" She asked cutely while holding and shaking slightly Xara"s hand.
Xara laughed lightly and poked her head. "Of course we prepared everything beforehand. Go with Isaa and do whatever you wanna do. I am sure that you won"t be late."Lord Ca.s.sian nodded as well while hugging Xara"s shoulders.Kendra was grateful for their trust and got Isaa on her cloud. She already left normal transportation clouds for normal use for the guests, so she just left quickly the metal cave and went into a power stone cave. She already had the idea of what to make for them.
" Isaa, you have good ideas. What do you think we use the small stones on their paths or should we ..." she whispered the ideas to Isaa, that nodded to the ideas with a big smile on her face.
Two days later Isaa was first to arrive as Kendra planned one more surprise for her parents. She sent Isaa in advance to let them relax a bit while she used her cloud and at highest speed flew towards the sky. When she was high enough to see the half-island from high up from the sky she started chanting and slowly a huge net around the fief appeared and turned the sky into different kind of colors turning after a while into a huge rainbow that led the way to the Caledon city.
Over the palace in Caledon city appeared a huge cloud that disappeared after a while and beautiful sky with few clouds appeared.
Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian saw that and knew that it was Kendra"s doing. They smiled at each other while holding Isaa between them.
Lord Ca.s.sian rose his eyebrow and teasingly looked at Isaa. "What are you two up doing?"
Isaa shook her head and with innocent face shook her head. "I have absolutely no idea what is father talking about. We just prepare wedding present..." She blinked at him innocently and shrugged her shoulders like she had no idea what is going on.
He would have believed her if he didn"t catch a slight glint in her eyes and small smile in corners of her lips. But he let it go. His daughters prepared something big and wanted it to be secret so far. Xara winked at him as well and they went to get dressed for their wedding.
Xara wedding dress contained thousands of small pearls and crystals that made her dress s.h.i.+ne in amazing colors. Her maids helped her with the hair while the King, her only sister, helped her with the accessories.
Lord Ca.s.sian, on the other hand, had official clothes that every Lord of the Caledon Valley wore on special occasions. He had to admit that the clothes suited him quite well.
Kendra let his and her clothes prepare a long time ago. She promised them something she called "Eternity Ring". Actually, weddings were quite casual before, but Kendra made lots of changes, including security measures.
Since early hours hundreds of carriages arrived at the entrance if the Caledon Valley and soldiers didn"t let anyone enter that didn"t have official invitation letter that was sent with fast clouds and soldiers on it a long time ago.
Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian invited many people but that didn"t mean anyone else could enter. So when a bunch of uninvited guests tried to enter the pa.s.ser way they were stopped by the invisible s.h.i.+eld and were kicked back. Only those that were personally invited could enter the boundary but without carriages and were transported to the city on the clouds.
At first, people were stunned but seeing hundreds of soldiers standing in their clouds they let go of their fear and just joined on the clouds together with their servants and gifts.
Lord Ca.s.sian already prepared the guests rooms at the empty houses in the n.o.bles district.
Kendra joined Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian in the main hall and stood at their side in her official robe from the school. Only her robe was purple with dark pants and purple boots. The only accessories were the rings on her hands and something like coronet on her forehead that she saw a long time ago from movies about elves.
She made bit more elaborate silver coronet on Isaa"s head and made cute earrings for her as a gift. What people didn"t know is the secret about those earrings. Isaa wore as a usual pink robe with white pants and pink shoes, rounding up the picture of a cute little child. The maids made cute little curls in Isaa"s hair so the change into n.o.bles child was completed without hitch.
They stood at each side of her parents while greeting curious guests. Of course, everyone heard that they adopted two children but who knew that the children by their side would be so outstanding.
Kendra"s cold but respectful countenance and Isaa"s cute face with dimples took over their hearts in a storm.
Most of the guest started making plans for future trying to get close to them but looking at Kendra"s face that didn"t let them even speak they gave IP her side. So they all turned like a pack of hungry wolf"s and wanted to get closer to Isaa but that child was slippery like fish that they couldn"t stop not even for a second.
She would let them talk to her and then slip away with some small excuse after a short time so they had no chance talking to her. She knew by their face what they planned but Kendra already warned her in advance so she was luckily prepared.
Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian saw the play the children prepared for their guests and chuckled slightly to each other as not to give Kendra"s idea away. That child really had too many weird ideas. And most of them really work.
Suddenly there was a strange yell from another side of the hall."You d.a.m.nable child! Do you dare standing there? Who do you think you are? You dare stand there! Get the h.e.l.l out and don"t disgrace our family!"
