Between this small forest and the big forest was before a village but now there stood a majestic school. Like in the fairytale, the school was huge and had many little winding and ways.
To make it even more mystical, they were made out a special stone and were covered with the true metal thinly as protection.
That way the walls will stay longer steady and will hold on for millenniums. The path towards the school was made of white stone and on the sides stood rows of beautiful flowers and trees.
On the main gate stood a huge sigh with school rules. Kendra was curious and flew down to see.
"RULES OF THIS SCHOOL:
1. Everyone is equal, there is no matter who you are, what is your background or who your ancestors are
2.No duels without permission of teachers
3. Any kind of bullying will erase everything you worked for and might cause you even to lose the powers and place in school
4. Clouds can be used only by guards, by the teachers, the Lord, and Lady of the Caledon Valley and their children. Anyone else can do it only with permission of the great master of the school. (Any kind of flying included)
5. School provides all the clothes, food and money. The students will have to keep their own money in safe and not use it without permission.
6. Any external weapon or anything that could be used as a weapon will be confiscated or destroyed
7. Not following the basic rules will cause the student to have the highest punishment of power destruction and throwing out the school!
Kendra nodded. The rules are simple enough. She had an idea for a couple more rules but its better if Fintan think of them himself.
She looked at the elaborate golden gate and rose her eyebrows while looking at her parents." Simplicity should be the rule. Please take off the gild of the gate. The simple students might feel like we pounce about the wealth we have. We need to cultivate power users and not greedy people. Peace of mind should be very important. "
Lord Ca.s.sian understood her mind and just winked one of the guards. The guard nodded and with a wave of hand dissolved the gold into a fluid that just turned into a big piece of gold and presented it to the Lord.
He sighed and just pointed at Kendra. She wanted it off now she can have it, he thought smugly. Xara and Isaa saw his expression and just shook their heads and Kendra ignored it and just took the gold.
When they pa.s.sed the gate, Fintan already waited for them with a big smile. He hated the gold on the gate as well and but couldn"t change Lord"s mind no matter what he said. After all, only Kendra could tell him straightforwardly.
His idea was to leave all wealth outside and just use the wealth of their mind inside the school, but it seems none understood his intention. If not even grownups couldn"t understand how should he explain to little children.
Kendra seeing him in deep mind sighed and used true metal to make thinly elaborate work on gates. With all signs of basic powers the gates were even more majestic and shown true intention of the school. The teaching of new powers and growing raising them steadily.Lord Ca.s.sian saw that and hugged Kendra. "This is actually what I wanted, but I guess I overdid it. Thank you, child. By the way, I wonder what is the present you two prepared for us."
Kendra and Isaa looked at each other and smiled brightly. But Kendra just turned to Fintan and showed the small boy hiding in the cloud behind her."Fintan, send him to the Room of Powers and check his powers. Then send him to other kids and introduce him to teachers. He is our new student."
The school had already some children attending the cultivation cla.s.ses. The most important thing as a power user is to concentrate so you can calm the sea of power every time it is a breakthrough. So they are implementing meditation that Kendra taught them.
Now all the knowledge she gave them they plan to give to children. To meditate you need a calm mind. But it is hard to calm down and look at your sea of powers. Usually, power users grew their powers by fighting. Here is the opposite.
You need to be completely calm to succeed to enter your sea of powers and control its flow. Those students that succeed in such an amazing task will be transferred to different kind of cla.s.ses and will enjoy some benefits.
With more power comes more benefits but that doesn"t mean that those students could abuse their powers. The higher the power the more they need to be calm and control their feelings and powers.
That means later on those with powers should have calm behavior and not let anything bother them. They should learn how to live with surroundings peacefully.
Kendra was already halfway there but as she lived past life and wants to truly live this one, she doesn"t plan to change her unruly nature.
At least not for time being. She plans to make all her abilities go high before thinking about the future. For now, this is good enough. At least this is as it is for now.
Kendra"s ideas were implemented into school policies and will be base for future cultivations.
Mother, father you know we should go now back home. After we go back we will show you something and then we will give you a gift.
They greeted Fintan that took the boy with them and winked at Kendra. She gave him a slight nod and went on the cloud and followed Isaa and their parents back to Caledon city.
When they went near, Kendra leads them up to the top of the palace and what they saw was breathtaking. Actually what happened was that after you step on the cloud you could see everything down but no one could see you if they looked up. Even if you fly near it, it was still invisible.
When they went near the cloud the barrier appeared and Isaa pressed her hand on it. Suddenly the barrier opened and they went into it.
"Father, mother, give me drop of your blood so the barrier could open for you. This is the only place we made this way. It will be a safe haven in case of danger." Kendra said while she waited for them.
Xara didn"t even think too much about it. She cut her finger and let one drop of blood and soon she found Lord Ca.s.sian by her side doing the same.
Kendra was grateful for their trust. She used their blood to let the cloud and the barrier accept them next time when she is not around.
After using her powers she healed them and turned to Isaa. "Do you want to show them everything or should I?""
Isaa nodded happily. She took Xara"s and Lord Ca.s.sian"s hand and pulled them inside the cloud.
" Mother, father, this is your own s.p.a.ce cloud Kendra made with great care."
Kendra poked her head. "Little sweet mouth. Do not throw such thing around. If you didn"t help me, do you think I would be great to make it so fast and so pretty? What about all the good ideas you implemented in this idea. You..." She snapped with her finger at her little nose.
Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian started laughing at Kendra"s teasing. While the two children argued who did more for them, they looked around.
The s.p.a.ce as it seems covered the whole city area. They could see under their feet what is going on down when they walked the paths. But on sides grew various plants that Isaa gathered around fief. She chooses common and wildflowers to arrange beautiful sight.
They pa.s.sed the flower garden and saw a cute house standing in mid of meadow. On one side if house stood a beautiful vegetable garden and at other side was something like a small spring with a little creek that ended not far from that into a small pond.
When they got closer they saw many different kinds of fishes. They saw behind the pond small forest and few chickens running out and then after seeing them running back into it.
Xara turned around and saw the two children still poking at each other and chuckling. They played freely around and now she realized how much these two children held back when they are with other people.
She lost looked at Lord Ca.s.sian and saw him smiling fatherly while seeing two of them playing around comfortably. He winked at her and wanted to go towards woods but a small hand stopped him.
Kendra held his hand and Isaa Xara"s hand and pulled them towards the back if the house. They saw a new path winding towards something like a small hill. The hill was covered with all kind of trees and flowers and looked amazing. But they pulled them towards one of the openings in the hill and what they saw , took their breath away...
