After exhausting themselves they choose to go again into the energy barrel and just replenish their energy instead of sleep. They stayed inside barrel whole night and felt that it was better to exhaust the energy before they enter.

It seems that the energy sea gathers energy faster if they are completely empty. Isaa felt as well that her energy sea grew after she used it all up.

She opened her eyes and saw that Kendra was still in mid of gathering. She chooses this time to go out and sleep. She used the powers, as usual, to dry herself as she exited the water. Fluffy heard her coming out and jumped as well out the water.

He felt admiration for both passionate children.''You are full? Let's go to sleep. Even if your energy sea is full, your body is still small, it needs sleep for your growing. Go to bed.'' he ordered her around.

''Fluffy, can you tell me why you didn't take Kendra's blood?''She was really curious.

''Her blood works only with lower animals. Ancients like me or the Mother Oyster don't have any use of it. Even if she gave me I wouldn't be able to use it. After she becomes an ancient she will know all the languages and no need for wasting precious blood.'' He jumped into Isaa's hammock and waited till she laid down to cuddle in her arms.

''Fluffy'' Isaa already yawned'' what is your real name?''

''I never had one. Thank you for naming me.'' he slowly whispered words and fell asleep.

Isaa stroke his head and cuddled with him and fell asleep with a smile on her face. ''Fluffy, we are family now...''Her deep breathes could be heard. Fluffy opened eyes and was touched...family...

The next day Kendra opened eyes early in the morning. She went out of the energy-water and felt that her own energy sea grew bigger.

She looked at the barrel and with a wave of a hand, she put it in her space as well the jar with Fluffy's water. She looked at the potatoes and saw that they are ready for seeding. With a wave of the hand, they went in as well.

She took some silver and planned to give Isaa. Today is market day. They will order some food to bring it home and she will put it in her space. She wants to see can the space preserve plants from getting spoiled, if yes then she will dry them if not, then she can use it fresh.

She stood in mid of garden and taught about it. Strange, even when she was gathering the energy for so long she didn't feel sleepy at all.

She looked at the pig and thing sleeping in a weird way, she chuckled. She put Isaa's hands back under the blanket and covered Fluffy and turned to make breakfast.

She plans to make bread before they go to the market. She made few loaves of bread and one she left for their breakfast. She still had some eggs so she made an omelet with vegetables. The smell of fresh bread and eggs woke up the two sleepy heads and they looked at her from the hammock.

''Are you not coming? This tastes the best when is still warm...'' she laughed as she saw Isaa's head looking like she had birds nest and on top of it Fluffy that looked like he will sleep again.

These two seems to need more sleep. She will let them stay in bed and go to the market alone.

''You two sleep. I will leave bread and eggs here. And will leave some cut sausage, some tomatoes and you have butter and jam.'' She counted as she put everything on the table in the room.

''Don't answer doors if I'm not here. If someone tries to enter, jump in the well. Both of you. Do you understand?'' she asked sternly. They both just nodded sleepily and went again back under the blanket.

The sounds outside the gate could be heard. The citizens of the city woke up and got ready to go to the market. Kendra used old peace of cloth to make a new pouch and put inside enough silver.

If she needs more she can pretend to take it out pouch but actually take it from the money box. Prepared to go she looked one more time at the two sleepy heads and carefully closed the gate.

The market seemed to be bigger this time. Many new things arrived. People selling all kind of fruits and vegetables. She saw the bakery empty and taught about to buy this for herself. Who knows what its good for.

While looking at the store she didn't notice someone coming at her. The person stood next to her and looked at the empty store.''You like it?'' asked the voice.

She turned around and saw Fintan and Cian smiling at her.''Oh, how comes that two of you came so early back?''

''We planned to stay longer but I heard there was a mess in town. I suppose you know about it?'' .Fintan didn't feel happy at all. Every time there is a fight he was far...

''Did you drink well water?'' was the first thing she asked.

Both of them shook their heads and looked at her confused.'' What are you talking about?''

''Go to the Lord, take Cian with you. He will explain everything to you including the latest happenings. It's not convenient for me to explain it.'' she said while looking at him with a warm smile.''While you are there buy this place and ask the Lord to buy land near Secret Forest and let the ''idea'' be there. He will know what I am talking about.''

Fintan nodded as he saw reassurance from her expression. He looked at the market and saw satisfied and happy people walking around. It seems the crisis passed and now its time for building up. This child probably has some big idea.''When can we talk?''

She looked at happy people and chattering around her with a satisfied smile and looked at him.''After my vacation. I need to do something. Wait no, I have no idea how long we will stay. Hmmmm. Come to my home this afternoon with Cian and your mother. I want to make something. Oh, tell her to bring cheese that I bought last time. I want to make some things and I think its worthy.''

Fintan nodded and walked away with Cian. Kendra looked at their back with a smile.

She turned around and started ordering food from one to another carriage. She plans to buy lots of it. Who knows how long the winter can be. Carriage of turnips turned only one silver, carriage of carrots as well. Why are the prices so cheap she asked...It was a good year.

She asked them to bring to her house the next few days as many as they could. Eggplants, turnips, gourds, cuc.u.mbers and lots other vegetables she already ordered. She can dry some and some in jars.

She saw the two women and asked them as well about their stocks and overproduce. She told them to bring it to her house in the next few days. As well as eggs and milk production. She will take it all.

She ordered carriages of white flour from one farmer and gave him half of the money in advance so he was quite happy. She told him to bring as well a bunch of seeds and other flours as well. She will buy it all. When he heard of big order he got happy. He can sell it all in one swipe.

''I have from this year quite a lot and form last year as well. As you are buying it all I will give you a 35% discount on new grain and flour and 65% onto the last years prices. I have a bunch of beans if you are interested. As well as lots of fruits.''

She spoke with him about prices and asked him to let everyone know about her buying lots of grain, fruits, vegetables, and milk produce. She told him that if she buys a lot she hopes for a fair price. He told her his village is actually producing all kind of grain for generations. He will talk to the chief of the village and come with him to talk about everything.

She agreed and they parted. There was no awkwardness that he spoke to a child. She is not the only child that works so they had no such thoughts.

She saw the officer Luar and explained that he is already buying the product but this time for her own gain. They should think about building the granary fast. After such a dry period, only lots of rain and terrible disasters can come. He should train his powerhouse to save people in need in such case. And then she asked about the latrine and his head went red.

''I found out that those people worked for the nobles as couriers and now need to find new people taking care of that soon.'' He already is trying to find reliable people.

''What about making something else. Make flushing toilets where the dirt will go down the drain straight out the city. It's the only way. If this continues we might get some kind of disease. By the way, you remember the apartment you showed me the first?'' he nodded as she continued.

''That man gave the apartment to some people and when they cleaned it up he wants them now to get out. There are two families in that house. I wanna know how many apartments are there and is he selling them all?''

Officer Luar taught about it. '' If he tries something funny we will give him the original price and kick him out the town.''

Kendra shook her head.''No. Early or later he might start rumors about the city. I will buy it, raise it to the ground and build a big apartment building. There is enough space for it. Could you check out the neighbors as well? If any of them wants to sell? I need lots of lands as I have big plans.''

''Are you done with everything you wanted?''Kendra taught about it and nodded. In three days there will be again the market day. She plans to buy cloth, pillows, blankets, pots, beds. She plans to have everything prepared before they leave.

The things in this city will get complicated soon, she plans to leave in early summer next year. With space, she can take everything they need together with her. Isn't it convenient? And if she finds the other stuff that could help her make a living space as well, then they can travel and hide in space.

Who can harm them then? She really wants to travel comfortably and with safety. With living space would be easy, but it seems she needs to find those things...
