They just stood there in silence for a while. He stared at her like he wanted to imprint her image into his brain, while she just calmly connected to the nature in surroundings.
When she opened her eyes for a brief splint of the moment she could see connections between everything. Like net. ''Uh, this...'' But soon her perception broke and the image disappeared.
''So is that. Nature lives and gives power away. That power gives power to the beings and then they give power away. The stronger is the being, the bigger the power it excludes. Too much power is just accumulated into spirit veins. But the growth of space must be connected to that...'' Her words were spoken as she tapped her chin.
Taskmaster had no idea what she was talking about. ''Uhmm... I guess... even tho I have no idea what you mean.'' He was ready to accept anything she said as she was literally different than other creatures that he ever met before. ''Uhm... Kendra... I need to go now. I will come back.''
Kendra shook her head. ''From now on, come in only when someone finishes their task or subtask. Only that way you will be able to learn about your power. Do not bother about this world too much. If they want to kill each other, I do not care. I will just protect my own people and these three special beings. I am neither police or an army. I gave them an idea of how society should be made. And most of them realized that they will come out in the next couple of years. They won't do anything stupid, I think.''
He chuckled. ''If they do, there is still you and Isaa. I trust you. I will see you in four years then.''
Suddenly there were few moments of silence and she then nodded. ''Yes. Four years. Don't worry. Everything will be well. I am safe, I have enough protective people around me and nothing can happen to me anyway. Right?''
He pouted a bit. ''You really accepted it so fast. I thought you would think at least a bit about it. But you just...'' The expression on his face clearly showed that he felt a bit hurt.
Kendra floated to him and hugged his arm again. ''So then stay here and let Marcus laugh into your face? Or go out and learn about your powers. Your choice.'' Her two clear eyes blinked directly into his face and mischievously on finger flew towards the place where his dimples always appear and chuckled. ''I think your kids will be cute. Those dimples...''
His ears suddenly went completely red and he just jumped far away from her and coughed. ''I... I am a man... How can you call me cute...'' Now not only his ears became red, his whole face slowly became pink then reddish, then flaming red color.
When he saw Kendra just holding her lips as she tried not to laugh while her eyes became watery from pressure, he almost choked. ''Not funny! Cough. I am just red, so what! I... I... I am going away. See you in four years.'' Then he suddenly disappeared.
When he came out he held his cheeks with both hands while he heaved as he stood there. ''That child is clearly mischievous. What children ... I mean...'' But suddenly stopped talking and turned around. ''Father, you are here?''
A man with a white complexion and black eyes stared at him with interest. ''You remind me so much of your mother. She looked just like you. Sigh. When is she coming out that damn cultivation? I miss he so much.''
Taskmaster rolled his eyes. ''Father, she is gone just couple centuries. She was too angry when she went into the cultivation space. Give her some time.''
''You, are you my child or hers?'' The man poked him with his whole hand and shook his head. ''Don't even answer. You clearly look like her. Interesting. What made you chose to learn more about your true powers? You always just used powers that you inherited from mother's side.''
''There is a situation that made me want to become stronger.'' He pressed his lips and avoided his eyes.
His father was a very powerful being. But since he was young he tried to teach his son about his powers as he knew that this child would be even more powerful than himself. ''Everyone calling me names. Destroyer. Punisher. The ancestor to all evil. But they forgot that there are worse things than me. I just punish those that do wrong. It's not like I go around and kill anyone that passes my path. Sigh. If you learn my powers, you will be pointed with a finger and everyone will run away from you in fear. cCan you handle that? If you do that, there won't be anyone that can handle your pressure.''
Taskmaster just shrugged and stared at him. ''Teach me. I must become stronger.''
''You come from the line of Tarok. The power we hold I indeed dangerous ut only if you do not know how to control it. So many of our kind were destroyed by their own power as they couldn't handle it. Your mother will get angry if you start learning if she is not around to balance your energy.'' He spoke to Taskmaster but saw a serene smile and stocked. ''That expression. Whoa.''
He suddenly grabbed his face with both hands while his face had a huge smile. ''That expression moments ago. Yes. I knew it. You would never accept the Knowledge of Substance if you didn't find someone who can handle it. Is it female... or maybe male? It's fine, I do not care what or who it is as long you can live happily.''
Taskmaster narrowed his eyes and then remembered how Kendra always liked to wear male clothes and sighed. ''Not sure yet. Is it female with male attitude or male in the female body? Does it matter?''
His father shook his head. ''We live eternity. Some of us don't use any reproduction organs as we chose to just be with each other. You know the Kh'a and Lalhu. They were two males and just chose to be sexless. Life in eternity is not only about procreation. It's about the connection between two souls. All creatures have souls. Some souls are more profound and some just basic. As long you love the other part, It doesn't matter what it is.''
He chuckled. ''Great and mighty Tarok La. You would accept not having grandchildren even if they might become as cute as I am?'' Taskmaster blinked at him and smiled as he showed two dimples on his cheeks.
''That sounds so... creepy.'' Tarok La stepped back as he saw a huge smile appearing on his sons face.
Taskmaster just shrugged. ''Then it's fine. Let us start. Teach me how to become powerful...''
