Everyone curiously stared at her. Then Cynthia realized something. ''You are right... let us stop for now and gather enough plants as we have no idea if we would need more of it in the future. And seeds...'' 

By now everyone realized her addiction to gather seeds from all the plants she could find here. Not only that, after Cynthia told them about this they realized as well that they needed to gather enough plants to take with them before leaving. WHo know where will be next place be.

''We can make tread balls and keep it for later. It is easier to store and we can use it anytime we need it to make more cloth.'' Anita and Sirius had the idea as they really thought that the stalks were messy. 

(Infected by Kendra?)

''This time we will have three sections. Those that gather herbs two sections and one that makes treads. we should make enough cloth to make us at least five sets of clothes. Or is it too much?'' Kimi had shiny eyes as she watched them but saw Kendras shaking. 

Kendra hugged her arm and smiled at her. ''We can just gather enough seeds and plant it somewhere else. No need to be so bothersome. One set of clothes for everyone should be just fine as that is your task. Like I said before, we shouldn't overdo it. But for other needs, we still can use the thread. After all, we might need those treads for other things. Not only clothes. We all have enough clothes for the whole five years. I certainly do, what about you all?''

Conrad started laughing. ''Of course, we all do. But new clothes would be something nice.'' 

Of course, everyone had the same thought so they gave long stare ta Kendra. She justs shrugged. ''Fine. Let's make more tread balls and make then new blankets and pillows. Winter is coming. Did you think about that?''

She had her own things but if she could make a soft mattress, it wouldn't be so bad. She explained to them what she planned and everyone came to the realization. they all forgot that. As this place was quite warm they forgot that maybe in the next place they will need warm stuff. So for two straight weeks, all they do is to gather and make threads. 

The last few moves on their cloth and they were directly transferred to the next location.

What greeted them was a cold wind and muddy weather. In mid of the plane, between hills stood a few simple houses. Two people tried to make another house but the floor slippery. 

The moment they arrived was as it deems perfect. Kendra realized that this is the task with the settlement. This should be their final task and destination. Others might just join in. 

The two men saw a group of people arriving with a bunch of stuff and rushed to greet them.

"Kai and Ario you are already making houses?" Everyone by now understood their tasks. Kendra went forward to greet them. "Hello. Let us put all the stuff safely into the houses before the rain. We can chat later on." 

The weather seemed to become stormy and they must save their stuff. This time even her cave was gone, so she knew with certainty that this must be the last destination for the next five years.

Her idea was not even spoken when the first drops of rain started falling. In the rush, they used one of the finished houses as storage and scrambled into other houses. Luckily the rain didn't last long and when they came out they could see Kendra's dark expression.

Conrad was first to comment as he knew by now her expressions. ''Ugh, you two seem to have forgotten something important.''

Kai and Ario just looked at each other and blinked at the group of people and Kendra that started to become even angrier as it seems. ''We made houses...''

Kendra held head while she sighed. ''No, you made storages. The walls are uneven, the doors can barely close and where is the fireplace? Winter is coming, how did you plan to head to rooms? Maybe you have some idea that I haven't thought of?''

The two men suddenly stopped and realized. The fireplace.

Sirius and Conrad already knew what they had to do. They went to talk to them about making one big house for everyone for first use and then slowly making house after house for each person. The village that they should make should have everything that settlers might need and Kendra had quite a lot of ideas. But she knew as well that they need more people. So basic stuff will be made straight away.

''Four of you go fall the trees and bring as many as you can. I will make plans. The girls and I will gather stones at a nearby river. I saw so many. We need one fireplace anyway to cook meals until the first house is done...''

Everyone had their own duty. The men were strong and had enough power to bring enough trees to build a house. But as they were only four of them they just started falling trees and bringing them to the place they needed to build the main house. This will be probably later on the village chief's house. Or even lodging for travelers...

After checking the river she was happy. Ther are so many fishes inside so she used some of the bait she prepared before and caught three big fishes that she planned to prepare for their dinner. The girls helped her clean the fishes and as soon the fire started burning wonderful smell of fresh fish stew started spreading in surroundings, making the men salivate and work harder.

By the evening time, they all sat on their self-made chairs and slurped hot stew with gusto. Even girls lost all the grace in hunger as they worked hard transporting the stones. Kendra was left to cook and the girls were happy about it. The meal was simple but filling. What they didn't know is that she put inside meal some of the compressed food that she took with her.

Looking at the fire she wrinkled her eyebrows. ''You all can see that the weather changed. With the food that we already have we can live for a couple of months, but we have no idea how long it will last, the wintertime. So we will first finish the house, together. We will help you as well. After that, you guys will continue building more while we will go into the nearby forest and check out about the wild vegetables. I am sure there must be more edible things than just those that I sent before. Is that ok with you guys?''

What else could they do? Make females build houses. After she explained to them the way to build houses faster and easier they could only nod. Indeed, this is something they need to do. There are no dangerous animals in forests so they can just let them go and gather food. But easier spoken than done.

It took them almost whole week to finish the three-room house. The main room and two side rooms. One for men and one for the female sleeping area. She even had an idea about bunk beds to save space and so more people could sleep. So each room could hold a dozen people. When they saw her idea they found it quite interesting. A huge fireplace and oven in the main room gave enough heat for both rooms and after building that they made a huge long table where everyone could sit with folding chairs that would be storage on sides or used outside.

So many innovative ideas made them forget their fatigue so everyone worked hard until last moment. As soon the first fire was lit in house and they saw everything went well cheers resounded and they started planning the next ideas.

Kendra sat there with a small smile and just nodded as each of them had an idea from their own world and own experience at home. She had no wish to do it all by herself. They should do the rest ideas. So the plans they made were for the next plan. She looked at happy chatting people that ate fresh fruits that they found nearby with smiles and smiled as well.

This is good.

This is the way they should be, but how are others doing.

But, where is Isaa?
