Chapter 66 - 66. The story starts to entwine (1/2)
Everyone turned around and saw Isaa staring at Kendra's aggrieved expression. She felt suddenly angry.”Who made my brother angry. Let me fight you all.”She stood there all angry but everyone found her amazingly cute. She stood there with puffed cheeks and anger flashing in her eyes.
Lais stood and walked slowly towards the child but Isaa just pushed her without trouble aside and went to Kendra. She looked at the tears on Kendra's face and got even angrier. '' This...Who made my beautiful brother cry. Kendra always laughs and she should be always happy. Why do people always make her angry? She was perfectly fine last weeks. She even forgot how to get angry. That dude on the gate made her hair go red from anger. We just got back...Kendra stop crying or I will start crying as well!'' She already had tears streaming down her face but she didn't even realize.
Kendra looked at aggrieved Isaa and stopped crying. She looked around and saw smiling faces. She had such great friends. They accepted her even with her crazy behavior. ''I am sorry I lost my manners and let my emotions go. I will try to become a stronger person in the future. Fintan I want to thank your family for holding my back this whole time. Not only mine, Lord's as well. If you didn't open the storage and fed the people...''
''Don't be foolish. I was lucky that you already prearranged the grains. Luckily the village sent me enough food. To tell you the truth I could have fed the city for months but I was worried about the inside fights. People are sometimes quite strange, aren't they?'' he said while taking a handkerchief and tapping her tears away.
Isaa saw the movement and brushed his hand away. ''I will do that for my brother. I am after all his sister, right Kendra?'' she said while tears again welled in her eyes and streamed silently down her cheeks.
Kendra was touched. She took the handkerchief from Isaa's hand and patted the tears away and then remembered that she had powers. So she just tried both of their faces with a wave of the hand and hugged Isaa tightly. ''I will definitely become stronger so I can protect all the people I care about. And you need to become stronger as Xara, Fluffy and even Lais entered the space. It seems your strength is still weak, but I can see that your energy is almost filled. Your second level will break soon and then you probably will be able to enter the space.
The Lord was stunned.''Wait didn't you say that other water users need stronger energy to produce the abilities...'' he started talking but Kendra stopped him.
''I said the second level is needed to even read teh books. Isaa could do cloud flying at the begin of the first stage. On the fifth level of the first stage, she could float and only at the ninth level of the first stage she could fly higher than trees. We realized many things while we cultivated.'' she looked around and saw the interested faces. She sighed and looked at sleeping Xara. She slowly tried to wake her up, but it seems she was just too tired.
''I actually wanted to explain everything when Xara is around, but she will get everything explained later when she was up.''She sighed and started to explain.
There are eleven stages of every element of power. Each stage has 10 borders. Every border has ten hights. Every hight has different strength. Elementalists start at the basic stage and need ten hights to first stage and so on. Usually, the elementalist can extend their life after the fifth stage and after the eleventh stage, they can enter the state of exodus and choose to go to another place or level up other elements...
Some elemetalists are born with multiple elements so they can choose to cultivate them at the same time or one after another. But their powers could be stronger as dual powers usually compliment themselves. The ''history'' books were actually explanations about powers from the plain view of an old elementalist. It seems he left the books for his family to use in the hope there will be more people in his family that could use the explanation. But he put a boundary on the books for the reason that if they can't even pass the second stage what is the point for them to learn more.
It seems that he traveled around the countries and gathered information about powers, abilities, and uses of abilities. He wrote as simple as he could, adding pictures because he was not able to explain better. On end, he ended up gathering enough books and choose to break through exodus and fight to go to the next plain. Later there was add with different handwriting on one of the books that he succeeded.
It seems no one ever came back when they chose to leave this place.
