On the way out of the city, they met Fintan. He looked at Kendra with a grateful smile and as he passed them he whispered "thanks".
Kendra looked at Cian that was shining all over the face. It seems he told them about his aquatic ability. She wondered if he could control the water as they do.
She waved her hand and went on. Tonight they will just enjoy the time in the stream. They will eat good, play a bit, sleep under the stars...the day will be quite relaxed.
On the way out of the city, they met officer Luar.
" Kendra." he came to them with as it seems with something on his mind."The Lord told me you got more land? "
Kendra looked at him and nodded. It would be strange if he didn't know about it.
"Yes. I plan to make one part of it into the land to plant vegetables and rest will be an orchard."
She didn't plan to use all the land for potatoes. She has no plan to make her own life difficult. She will plant now and in fall and that's it. After that, her plan was to sell everything next year and go on travels. After getting gold from the Lord she will have enough.
She looked at Isaa. She plans to make her little sister stronger. If something happens they could just pack small backpacks she plans to make, fill it with gold and swim away.
Who can hurt them if they hide in the ocean?
She patted Isaa's head and earned a bright and happy smile from her.
Goluk and his wife went to their home with the supplies for tomorrow. They left it at their home and went to Kendra's home right after that.
When they arrived at the house Kendra just emptied her basket and took it with her. She showed Goluk the place she wants it clean. As well the plants she wants to be replanted in another place.
She planned the land between the stream and the brook to clean totally and to prepare for planting. The fruit trees and bushes she plans to replant near the house as she planned to clean that place as well.
She just plans to make orchard near the house. She already had all planned. And it seems it will take them much longer than she planned.
"Goluk, don't worry about money. I had a good sale of the jam. I really need to finish this soon." she said while looking at his worried face.
He seemed to sighed in relief after hearing her words.
"What is most important? Which part do you want us to clean first?" He asked while looking around him.
"First clean the grass and dig holes to transplant the fruit trees I will show you. It seems you have lots of workers. I think doing this only will take you at least two days. After that, you can start cleaning the land between steam and brook. But what I will request is to clean it as well from even small grassroots out the earth before plowing." she said while thinking about the wild berry bushes and wild fruit trees she found in the forest.
Goluk shook his head as he taught about the amount of work.
"You have two choices. One is to let us do it but it will take us at least two weeks to do what you asked. The second option is that I find more people that could help us out but would shorten the time." he looked at the child giving it the only options.
When he accepted to take over the work he didn't know that this kid has so many plans and so much land to clean. Then there is that work with trees and bushes that will take time and effort. Kendra nodded.
"Find more people. I have enough food for now to feed everyone. Next market day I will go with your wife and buy enough so don't worry about that as well. Better to finish it as fast as possible. By the way, there is well from this stream not far from here. It should be used for drinking and cooking." she walked in front of Goluk to show him the way to the well.
She walked past some trees and got an idea.
"I and Isaa could go first and mark the trees and bushes that we want to be transferred. What do you think about that?"
"That would help us a whole lot with time. You could as well first check the space you want to use an orchard. Then you could make a plan and when workers come they could get an idea about what you want."
Kendra nodded. It is indeed a better idea to make plans as to this all wildly.
''I will do that. I will go home and find a way to mark the trees and bushes. And then I will make a plan for how I want this place to look like, later on. So many things to think about. But after that, we all will be much relaxed.'' she smiled as she taught about fall and being lazy in front of her city house.
They went back and Goluk said his goodbyes. He plans to find more people as well as some children as she recommended. The children could go and bring water to workers. They could help as well.
he already had plans about the most of people he planned to gather. they all need some extra cash.
When he went she went to see Isaa that fell asleep in shades.
She planned to stay here a couple of days but it seems it will be too stressful to do that. She will let some people stay here and sleep. Those from Goluk village wouldn't have a place to sleep anyway. Here is a place they can sleep and cook if they want.
She looked around and found some clay near the stream. She took some as she had no paper and fist checked her soundings around lad she bought here.
The Lord gave her the whole forest,teh strawberry meadow and lad from forest to the main river, between the stream and the brook. That was teh biggest peace of land. She plans to leave some fruit bushes surrounding the land as a natural barrier and the land she bought first she will make in a beautiful orchard with front garden and she will build places like barbeque and some flowers.
She plans to make this beautiful summer residence.
She was so much in plans that she almost forgot that she won't be next summer here.
She then just made logical plans for orchard and land. In a straight line, it will be the orchard and riles for the potatoes will be going from up the stream till down to the river.
With that little potatoes, she plans to make a bigger space between potatoes. Wait she needs manure as well. She will ask Goluk tomorrow.
But now...she will have rest. She took her shirt off and jumped in the water hole in her pants. She doesn't want to make any mistakes in case someone comes by.
It seems today is the last time she will swim here. When peopel see this place tehy will probably want to come here. And swim...in ...her ...pool.Sigh.
She looked at the clean water that will be used to wash all those hands and feet's from all those people that will come to work. It is better here than in the stream's well.
She looked at the water and started playing around. In the old world, she had chemistry. Not her favorite subject. But she still remembers a few things. Maybe she could try to split it and turn it into separate elements.
But this world seems to work differently. She planned to make it into small particles and that happened indeed, but not the way she planned. She saw that she could separate teh water in drops and the drops in tinier drops and tinier drops.
She tried to separate it more, but all she could do is just make it extremely tiny. When she saw her surroundings she realized that she turned that bit of water into the fog.
It's not bad either. She could use that for future protection. She tried over and over again to make compressed fog. But she exhausted her power very quickly. It seems she is still too weak to start anything big.
At the moment she can control ball of water in hight of 1 m over the floor. But that took lots of her energy. Now she realized she can make rain and fog. For minor protection, this is good as well.
She turned around and saw that Isaa was standing near teh stream and was looking at her with awe.
''Brother, how do you do that? Can I do that as well?''she asked while jumping straight into Kendra's arms.
''We can try.''she put Isaa carefully down and started explaining what she did. Isaa would nod from time to time. After Kendra stopped explaining she stared at Isaa to try to do what she did.
At first, it was hard to explain the dividing part so she let Isaa just extract teh water into droplets for start. But it seems that what is for her quite simple action, for Isaa is something that was quite hard to do. Maybe because Isaa was still a little child and her body can't gather enough energy.
She looked at the persistent child.
''Isaa.Try first to make a ball of water. After that try to make that ball into a smaller ball and so on. When you start feeling tired stop. If we overdo it, it might backfire. What if we do too much and you lose your powers. Just do until you feel slightly tired and stop. We can train every day a bit.''said Kendra while patting Isaa's head.
''After all, we are still children. We can train every day a little bit and rest we can play. What do you think?''she said while looking at beads of sweat on Isaa's face.
For Isaa to extract water and wash something it was not hard as she just used a big ball of water. But now that big ball she needs to make a bit smaller. She tried all over and started feeling fatigued. But when she heard Kendra sayings he could lose ability if she does too much, she stopped and let the water fall again back into the pool.
''Brother. I will try hard and become as strong as you are.'''she said while looking at Kendra with determination. Kendra shook her head. This child is stubborn.
''We can't do that now. Tomorrow many people will come by and I do not wish that they see you training the water elements. Please let us wait till we go to teh seaside. There is no one to bother us.''
Isaa nodded head.
''Brother, I can't wait to go to the sea. We can catch fishes, and lobsters, and crabs and so many other things that taste amazing.''she smacked her lips. They still had dried fish. But still to have fresh fish is the best.
Kendra nodded. They got used to eating lots of fish on the seaside. Maybe she can just give up all dried fish she had as she anyway ate lots of fresh fish. Accept that she can catch lots of fish at teh seaside and dry it there.
She went behind the house and looked at her hidden cellar and saw that dried fishes in pots seemed to be fine. She took them out as it was already evening and put them in the house. She will give it to Gulok's wife for workers. There was enough fish for a few days. Then she remembered the traps on that field.
They went to the traps and found almost all filled with rabbits. Almost 20 big fat rabbits were in teh traps. It took them while to walk back and forth to gather all and bring back home. At first, she just bound their feet so tehy wouldn't run away. Then she used lots of branches and made a few cages. This will be their meat supply. There is still lots of dried vegetables at teh city house and here as well. She will go tomorrow anyway back to the house and will send the food per Goluk and Wollak. Wollak had the carriage and she will pay him to drive all teh supplies back here.
Goluk's wife will cook food and Goluk will supervise all works. kendra had the plan to come here twice a day to give them pointers but had no plan to help out. She will just stay in the city house and try to make the hammocks.
That material seemed to be quite hard to deal with. She plans to find someone who could help her sew it. She is too weak to do that. Maybe that young man from the big store might know somebody. Thisar was his name, right?
Isaa runs around and looked at those cute sweet bunnies but this child is too serious and understood that these rabbits need to be eaten.
Kendra made the choice to find her some cute pet that she could take with her and cuddle with it... What could be good? What is cuddly and could live in and outside the sea? She will think about it.
''Isaa, one day brother will find you a pet that can live in water and on land. Then you can take it with you and play around and cuddle...I don't know does this creature exists but if it does, brother will let you have it. Is that fine with you?''she looked at Isaa that started jumping around like one of those rabbits from happiness.
''Brother is best. I hope there is one for me so I can cuddle with it,''she said while now ignoring the poor rabbits. Ph, they can only hop on land, but her future pet will be able to swim in water as well.
Kendra started laughing. It is so much fun looking at all those visible emotions on Isaa's face. Just too adorable. She used both hands to pinch Isaa's cheeks. It seems this child finally has some cheeks.
They played around for a while and after that, tehy went to set the traps again. It seems that the field had lots of rabbits. She needs to get rid of them and her workers need strength to take care of her wishes. They used some eggs and made some egg pancakes and ate it with jam.
Yes, there is still a couple of jam pots as well. She will tell Goluk's wife to make these delicious pancakes and smear them with some jam as a snack for the workers. If she knew that her care made the workers give full power to finish it faster and still making them grateful as most employers would just give a pot of food a day and that's it. But she will feed them three times a day and snacks and always fresh water.
Her name will give people security later in the future as the word will spread in the land of her honesty, pleasantness, and care for those that work for her. But that is a story for the future.
Now she plans still to be fair as long no one try to use it against her. She will try at least.
They ate some an put the bad out and laid there to sleep. The blanket keeps them warm and their dreams started as the stars blinked into their sleeping faces. Even the moon seemed to be smiling at the two girls who were hugging under the care of the universe.
M.O.N.D.A.Y......I am so tired. I just finished the work and choose to write my chapter that was doe this morning but had no time the whole day to write it.
