The man sighed deeply and started his story. "My name is Amarillo Cassel, my wife is Dahlia and we come from a rare tribe of soul seekers. Some from our tribe actually used our powers to harm others, but our clan elders were against it and banned them. Unfortunately, they got together and had a great fight with elders, and we lost. After those people won they chose to do again some work against humanity and lots of families gave up and left the tribe. We ended up here. You probably saw our house, still looking normal. That is because I don't have mind control, I have earth power and used it to repair everything around the house. My wife has some mind power but she uses it only to track us or to call us. Nothing big."
His story reminded Kendra of another but these are similar people, not the same tribe. She wanted to ask so many questions, but he continued his story.
"We started living here with our parents, but with all that happenings, they truly gave up and died as they couldn't handle the change. At first, living in this town was still normal, but the last few years the town detoriatad and it started crumbling. I found Celia in the woods a couple of years ago and we loved her from the first moment. At first, we thought someone threw her away but after Dahlia scanned the whole town, she didn't find anyone who looked similar. So we kept her. But now things get weird. Chief, a few years ago strange people came to the city. You were preoccupied with nobles to realize how dangerous those are."
Chief scrunched his eyebrows and started thinking about it, but he really couldn't come up with anything. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Amarillo pointed at the doll. "They sold us this doll, but what they didn't know is that the effect the doll has... don't work on us. But on commoners, these dolls have a devastating effect. There mind become muddled and they stop caring about their surroundings. That is why most of the houses in the city look like that. Something is going on in town gnawing on the base of the houses. And in a year or two, this town will turn into dust. I really considered leaving it soon."
Chief scrunched his eyebrows, but sudden chitter from outside made them jump from their seats. Tassio took long strides and what he saw made even his dragon skin crawl.
Thousands of small bugs crawled in the garden, but children woke up and started killing them. Dahlia went as well and started hitting and stamping them. Amarillo was about to join but Tassio and Lais stopped him.
"Everyone please stop and get in the house. We need to do it from the start. Fluffy, Lilly can you two find the source if this?" Lais looked at the two animals that nodded.
Tassio waited until everyone was in the house and rose his hand. Small fire wisp started flying around and killing one by one. Chief was baffled. "Why don't you burn them all at once?"
Tassio shook his head. "Like this, it will be piss off the ones that sent these. And those two will have more time to find the source."
Chief looked around and realized that the two animals disappeared. "Oh." That was the only thing he could say.
Kendra disappeared as well, but no one noticed it as Isaa was still there. She followed the trail of bugs, crisscrossing through the town. Finally, she stopped in from of the doll store.
She smirked as she kicked the gate with her foot. She saw a woman sitting in front of a big basket filled with all kind of bugs. The woman heard the noise and turned her head with an ugly expression.
"Who dares..." But before even finishing she realized a strange thing. In front of her stood the child, but the energy in that child was so immense that made her back get cold.
"It's just me. Strange, I heard your tribe is against the use of mind control. I want to know why you are harming this city." Kendra stood still not moving even one step further.
She could literally feel all kind of traps and didn't plan to get in. She could destroy them, but she felt that those are not as simple as they looked like. She narrowed her eyes and smiled sarcastically as she saw the woman's eyes darting around.
"What... waiting for me to enter your entrapments or waiting for help? I let you be awake just to see what you planned to do. But no need to call for help, they are all in deep sleep." Kendra stepped forwards calmly as she put on the protection shield.
She let Fluffy and Lilly outside just in case something bigger happens. In the time between they killed all the bugs around town. When they came back what they found was ruins.
In mid if ruins stood Kendra floating while the woman sat on the floor and cried. They looked at each other and shrugged as they didn't see what actually happened.
Kendra floated on one place still with pure anger written on her face. "Mere small cultivator trying to take over the town for what purpose? Are you out of your mind? Do you know how many people you have put in danger because of your greed? I really have to wish to beat you up, literally."
She tried to calm down, but anger welled up again just by hearing her sobs. Lilly flew to her and patted her head. That calmed her down and she gratefully smiled at the fluffy thing. Her eyes turned towards the sobbing woman and she gave a verdict with a cold and clear voice.
"From today onward you shall become a normal human. You will lose all the abilities as you don't deserve them. I will repair town as one of the power users destroyed it but your punishment will be greater than just that. I will give you a long life, so you regret your actions longer. " With a wave of hand Kendra repaired the store and then like magic, the houses went to the previous state. She repaired all the housings in the town and went back to the group of people that still didn't realize her disappearance.
Tassio stared at her and when she nodded he turned to Chief. "Chief, our little friends took care of all the damage. If someone tomorrow asks about it, say that is a gift from us as you had lots of power users."
Chief nodded as he realized that now the town will have its normal look again. He already had headaches about the city's restructuring. But he still needs help from the King. He looked at Tassio, but didn't know how to ask.
Tassio gave him a slight nod and smile. "The promise still stands. We will send a message as soon as we leave town."
Chief felt assured as he saw their doings, but his eyes turned to the family. "It seems you have powers as well, what about children?"
Amarillo shook his head. " Chief, we do have powers but not active ones like power users. It's inherited and it can't get any progress. Maybe the child... " He looked at the little girl.
Tassio coughed as he saw Kendra's stare. "We will check your aptitude and see if anyone in your family has powers, even tho we know that the child has powers we will check how strong they really are."
Amarillo shrugged as he already knew he had no powers, but he was still tiny hit curious. Tassio and Lais took out the Eyes and started scanning the whole family and when they came to Dahlia it showed something but as she held the baby they just let her give it to Amarillo and they scanned her again, but it was a false alarm. Lais rose her eyes toward Kendra, but saw her curiously looking at the baby.
"The baby..." She whispered but in the silence of the room, it sounded loud enough to let everyone hear it. Simultaneously everyone turned their heads towards the baby.
"Could you put down the baby just for a little while?" Asked Tassio while taking the Eye toward the baby. Amarillo slowly walked towards the baby bed in the corner of the room and put the baby inside.
Tassio rise the Eye and as I scanned the child new stupefied silence emerged again. Isaa slowly approached the crib and smiled at the baby. " Amazing. So small, but already powerful. "
Kendra looked at the baby with worry. "At first it is amazing, but it's too small to have such strong energy. It's impossible for such a small child to control so much energy and it could harm his sea if powers. Maybe if we seal it for a couple of years?"
Tassio had to agree. The energy of the fifth boundary in the baby's body could make it or implode or harm the base. "We can do that. In a couple of years you can bring her to the school, or even better go to the Caledon Valley and look for the headmaster. He will find a way to help this child control it."
He knew Kendra had already a way. Looking at the twinkling of her eyes he knew that she had a plan. It seems his age meant nothing under the pure intelligence of this child. Lais patted his hand as she could feel his emotions.
"She is different than anyone we ever met. One day she will become so powerful that we won't be able to reach her, but we still can learn on her side so much. Let's follow her as long as we can. That is our privilege." She whispered close to his ears as she looked with the corner of her eyes at smiling siblings.
Kendra and Isaa held hands in corner of the room and pocked each other ignoring their stares. The little girl's powers were strong enough to hear their words and fiery determination followed. She turned towards the two parents that held her the baby and with happiness and worry looked at it. If she leaves patents still had others. "Mama, papa?"
Amarillo and Dahlia turned around and felt a bit ashamed. They forgot for a second about this child. It was the first time since they found her so they felt sorry. The little girl smiled and rose hands for a hug.
Amarillo bowed down and hugged the little girl. "I'm sorry. We didn't forget you, but were just a bit worried about tour sibling." He tried to explain, but she just shook her head.
"Father, mother I am grateful for what you did so far for me. I will follow them as that is the only way for me to grow my powers. As I understood the country is supporting the family of power users.? In that case, you will get your share and I can activate to become stronger. You anyway need to send little sister soon to Caledon Valley. With your powers you can help Lord and if nothing else soon even little sister will go to school."
They saw the determination on her little face and with heavy heart agreed. " If that is your wish, so be it. But never forget one thing, wherever you are, our family is always your home as long we live. Understood? "
She nodded and gave a big kiss to Amarillo's and Dahlia's face. They all smiled while the eyes of the doll magically turned into smiling ones. Isaa turned her head and shrugged. Its definitely not her problem, but Kendra saw the changes as well and sighed. "This is going to be bothersome..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
