Isaa shook her head. ''I always trust you, please trust my feelings this time. I feel that this thing will need pure light to be able to grow pure. If we let it live into that gloominess wouldn't it become gloomy as well? Please, please trust me.''
Kendra nodded. ''I do. Don't worry and let's think of ways how to make its surrounding light. Should we plant something or...'' She didn't even hesitate to trust her words.
Isaa was happy. Kendra usually took lead to do things. She advised her or taught her about many things. It seems her trust went deeper than she thought. ''I know my question is foolish, but how come you accepted it so easily?''
Kendra smiled and then hugged her shoulder. ''You are my little sister. No matter if we are not blood-related or the same species or maybe even death enemies in some another universe, in my eyes you are and you always will be my little sister that I adore. Of course, I trust your thoughts. We grew up together all these years and I know that even when you were small and foolish, you were bright and intelligent. You learned many things that made you wise. Sometimes I fear that you won't need me anymore so I try even harder to be by your side and give you more advice. I sometimes think you will leave my side forever and will never remember your big sister again.''
Isaa finally realized. Kendra's efforts and her care. She felt lonely as well just like herself. ''Kendra, you found your parents so I feared...''
Kendra shook her head. ''Parents? How does that rule make even sense? Trowing a newborn baby into a strange world to grow up with unrelated people and then take it back as they feel like. A child's heart will always remember those that gave him most love. Parents are not those that gave birth to you, than those that gave you love while you were on the road of growing up. To me, Lord Ca.s.sian and Lady Xara are my parents. No matter how much love I will get in the future from my parents, their place in my heart will be always in the majority. Same with you. Do you think that my heart will be able to erase you? Never. You are now part of my mind and my soul. That is what a sibling is. In the future, we might have different opinions on many things, but it doesn't mean that you are becoming less of my sister. Just please, like now, explain what and why you are doing things. Like that, we won't have misunderstandings.''
''Just like now?'' Isaa stared at her with cloudy eyes and deep thoughts.
''Just like now.'' Kendra planted a small kiss on her forehead just like she did when she was just little kid. ''You grew up so fast that I can't even do this anymore without been treated weirdly. Little sis, please grow steady and strong. In the future, we will have many things to do, together. I am not going anywhere without you, understood?''
Sniffling could be heard and Isaa leaned towards Kendra and hugged her. ''Big sister, I promise I will become stronger so you can be less worried in the future. But I will do as you said. I indeed have many thoughts that I want to do in the future as well, but sis... I do not mind you giving me a piece of advice. Like that I have options and I can choose what should I do or what way to use. Sometimes a combination of many different things is the best option.''
Kendra patted her head. ''Good. That is the reason why I made everyone talk with each other in the big room. When we go back to sect I want to implement that rule so everyone can discuss talk about it. After all, we are all in the same sect and somehow family. No matter what, we will all live together for many more years in the future. Why not share our thoughts? Maybe we can invent new stuff in the future. Just like we did back home.''
Isaa wished away her eyes and nodded. ''I think they would do that even if we do not make that rule. They got used to talking more with each other. The Sanctuary is really a place where people can peacefully live with each other without any big disturbances. When we go back to the sect I think they will implement everything they learn to other members. Just in case.''
Kendra smiled. ''Of course, that was the point. Luckily, all the members are good people and have no weird thoughts. Grandmaster really chose wisely. I am astonished that the old man didn't make a mistake.''
Isaa chuckled. ''He cares, but you are right about the other thing. That rule about dumping the baby into another world to be raised withs strangers makes absolutely no sense. Just go to the world yourself and rise your baby yourself. No time? Time is irrelevant if there is only one piece of time in growing up. Kendra you re right, our real parents are Lady Xara and Lord Ca.s.sian.''
''You always take mother's name first then fathers...'' Kendra pinched her soft cheek.
Isa puffed her cheeks and then smiled. ''If you didn't realize, you do the same with father's name.''
''Mama's child.'' Kendra pinched now the other cheek as well and shook Isaa's head playfully.
''Papa's child.'' Isaa as well did the same to her and as they pinched and poked each other the night came and as the stars started s.h.i.+ning brightly on the sky.
Kendra laid next to Isaa and stared at the sky. ''My world is different than this world. The stars are really nothing else than precious power stones that start s.h.i.+ning in the sky after suns.h.i.+ne stops. The world that I came from is different.''
''Tell me more about it.'' Isaa was curious.
''There are good and bad people. Our nature has been destroyed immeasurably by our own people and children are born with many defects. There are no powers, no cultivators and no ascending. Just death. But there is open s.p.a.ce. Do you know why I made my s.p.a.ce so big?'' Kendra whispered as she stared at blinking stars over their heads.
''I was planning to ask you. What plans do you have with a new world?'' Isaa was curious.
''I plan to make it similar to my own world. The worlds in her make me stuffy. After I realized that there are borders to the worlds it makes me feel stuffy. Like, being in some sort of vessel that has no air. I know it makes absolutely no sense, but to make me feel more comfortable, my s.p.a.ce will be many worlds in the same s.p.a.ce and time. Can you imagine that?'' She turned her eyes towards Isaa that had no idea about the s.p.a.ce.
''I do not understand. Sorry.'' She couldn't imagine many worlds in the same s.p.a.ce.
''Imagine continents... oh never mind. When the time comes I will make new changes in my world. Then you can understand. By the way, do you want new changes in the s.p.a.ce I made for you? It is kind of tiny...''
Isaa shook her head. ''I like it just the way it is. The world inside s.p.a.ce is good enough for me to stay inside when I want to relax. The only thing you can make is a bit more s.p.a.ce, so I can make strolls. Maybe the size of your s.p.a.ce before the changes. Bit of the forest, a bit of the river, a bit of the hill and a bit of the sea. It's enough. I do not wish the world inside to become big. It should be my own Sanctuary and my own peace of mind.''
Kendra nodded. ''Then so shall it be. But this time, I will teach you how to do it yourself. You are powerful enough to stretch the s.p.a.ce and add new things.''
Isaa suddenly turned her head and stared at her with big eyes. ''I am not like you, is it even possible?''
Kendra nodded while closing her eyes and yawning sleepily. ''You can. You can't make s.p.a.ce, but you can change it as you wish the moment you have one. I will make the whole set of jewelry for you and make tiny s.p.a.ces inside. Then I will teach you how to slowly stretch the s.p.a.ce and implement things you wish inside. That is my gift to you. My little sister.''
Suddenly her body was enveloped in Isaa's arms and she could hear her sobbing. ''I do not know what actually brought us two together. But whatever it is I am grateful. To have such a sister like you, how lucky I am, only I know that. Thank you, Kendra, for being my sister.''
Kendra hugged her back and just patted her back with a smile on her face. ''Everything is fine. I will be your sister no matter what happens in the future. I might punish you or even get angry at you, but that is only because I want you to grow into a good person. To me, you will be my little sister forever.''
They hugged each other under blinking stars and fell asleep. The wind pa.s.sed them and made the fire near them a bit higher while a dark figure looked at them from shadows.
''Found you...''
