She transmigrated and started different life

Kendra felt bored. As soon they came close to the mountain he entered the cave system hidden behind a few bushes and brought her to one of smaller caves. They closed the door and left just enough space that she can have some air. 

But as they closed the door, only darkness and shadows were inside there. But does that matter to her? She was hungry. Thinking about it, she rummaged through one of her pockets on her jacket and found a bag with dried fruit pieces and a sandwich that Isaa put inside, just in case.

She didn't even sit down as the cave was completely a mess. It seems someone already slept here inside on some dry grass, but thinking that someone filthy might have slept there the whole winter, her OCD started acting up.

She got close to the opening and looked around. Few people walked calmly around the fire while around her entrance was no one. She slowly summoned fireball and waited until all of them were so aligned that they wouldn't see her move. In the perfect moment, she sent the fireball into the fire and suddenly a wall of fire started spreading in the surrounding, scaring everyone.

Of course, as they rushed out, none of them thought about the little girl that they kidnaped and that was trapped in the cave. The fire strangely followed them like a firewall and soon everyone escaped.

She just pressed against huge stone and pushed him away in a quick motion, put him back and chuckled. The cave system was quite strange and at the same time so fun. Should she play a joke on them? 

Kendra's eyes narrowed and she thought about it. Then an idea came into her mind. She suddenly started moving objects around the cave and then snickered. ''It is ready, let's see what is their real deal?''

As fires slowly ceased and from inside cave strange smell started moving outwards. There was outside at least a few dozen men and women standing and strangely looked around. 

One of the women looked closely and then paled. ''Where is the child?''

Everyone started searching but Kendra couldn't be found. ''Did she escape us in all that mess?'' The man that brought Kendra had that idea. 

But the woman scrunched her eyebrows. ''Wasnt she inside that cave with a big stone in front of it? Did anyone help her out?''

Everyone turned their head to look at each other but no one could voice the ugly truth. The child is still inside the cave.

Her face became even paler as she looked at the cave. '' If that child is alive after this fire... ''

The burns of such a degree must be quite painful and most people sucked a cold breath in as they realized the gravity of her words. One by one they entered the cave and saw the destruction that the cave had from black walls and burned stuff on the ground until still smoking things that didn't burn completely.

Only the sound of their steps could be heard as they slowly approached the small side cave. But in such silence, every sound could be amplified. Painful cries could be heard from the small cave. Not too loud but loud enough to make their hair stand in the air and make them feel fear.

Suddenly strange noise appeared and the only exit from the cave was shut down completely with a whole stone block and bunch of small stones that build up a small hill on the entrance. 

The only light came from cracks in the walls and showed their scared expressions. Soon earth shook and the stones and blocks shut down one by own exit even towards other parts o the cave. 

Now everyone knew that they are in a really bad situation. Even tho the main cave was huge, but how long can they survive in this place? 

The woman could see their scared faces and her heart thumped hard against her chest as she understood the deadly situation they are in. But she still tried to calm them down with a shaky voice. ''Please all stop moving around. We need to dig new exit on the side. If we stay here we will die.''

Her voice sounded eerie in the given situation. For a moment there was silence and the sound of low cries could be still heard from the side room. She rushed there and trough the gab she could see the body on the floor still burning as the fire didn't extinguish completely. 

''Quick, let us help her. Quickly!'' She knew that there was no help, but leaving the child inside was not an answer as well.

Few men rushed over and soon the opening to the side cave was freed and what they saw made them feel fearful and disgusted at the same time. 

The child's body was completely burned and even if she had blisters they were completely scorched by the strength of fire. Actually her body was just clump of burned meat that still felt pain and breathed.

The woman quickly approached and started crying. ''I am a sorry child. I am truly sorry. We never wanted you to get hurt, truly. Actually, I just wanted you to be safe until we didn't see any other way to transfer you to our new regions. We heard you know many things, so we thought...'' She tried to explain but then was stopped by a surge of cries that left her chest. ''Please forgive us...''

The child just cried one more time and breathed out. But at that moment a strange thing happened. Like magical, the fire started burning again on the child's body and soon it was burned into ashes, not even a bone was left inside.

The woman sat near her ashes and cried for a long time while everyone else started planning the next move. As they spoke she stood up, took one of smaller storage pots and slowly bit by bit collected her ashes. She murmured between her cries. ''Forgive me, child. Please forgive me. Will bring your ashes to your village people. I heard you have a sister...''

Suddenly she felt pain and fainted. Behind her stood a man with a stone in his hand and looked at the people behind. ''Taking her back. Is she crazy? We are trying to keep it low so no one finds out about us. But now what? We can't keep her alive. Early or later she will tell on us.''

One smaller man came closer to the bleeding woman and stuffed his finger under her nose and after while he shook his head. ''She is dead. Look Moil, I am literally for making a new village as I do not like my guild people, but if we do it on the back of our new people, what kind of structure do you want to build on. Dead people? Does that mean all of us are disposable only fo your cause?''

The man just chuckled and viciously ordered. ''Get him!'' 

A couple of his people jumped ta the man but at the same time few men and women stepped forward to protect the talking man. ''Gelo, how can you be so vicious.'' Said one of the women. ''I joined in as I felt your idea quite nice. But looking now how you act, I fear we won't be coming with you. Make your village by yourself. I still want to live a long time.''

Her words resounded in a cave and few more people joined the young woman, mostly females. They could feel a sudden change in his attitude and they knew somehow if they join him, who knows how long they will have happy days or be alive.

Moil stood next to Gelo, smirked and pointed finger at her. ''I will kill them all to use them as my source of dark energy and for the last I will take you. First I will have my fun and then I will extract your life force and make it mine. This world? I will turn it into my own world. Darkness and death should take over this world and make my master feel good.''

Kendra looked at him with interest from the sides and rose her eyebrows. ''Darkness is a power as well? Is it strong?''

Suddenly a voice could be heard next to her head. ''Yes. Darkness has own rules. But what he said is wrong. Light can't exist without darkness. To choose complete darkness, it is impossible. If he does bad things in any world his master will be punished with decreasing power.''

She swung her head towards him in a swift motion, making his surprised as their faces were just a couple inches away from each other. ''So all that he did now would actually be bad for his master?''

Taskmaster became solemn. ''They think darkness is bad. But don't you need darkness to rest, or to give you shade and relaxation against the light. If there was no shade under the tree how would nature handle constant light? They would react just like having been under constant heat. Dry, burn and die. Een in death there is calmness in darkness.''

Kendra remembered the comfortable feeling after her death. Yes, darkness is not always bad and light is not always good. But why do people always mistaken nature laws? 

A long time ago someone asked her what is the meaning of life. And she said death. But actually is balance... Constant balance. Unfortunately, these people had no idea about her thoughts as they started fighting. 

Taskmaster waved his hand and they all froze in their motion. ''What should I do with them?''

Kendra smirked at him and with a mischievous smile, she winked at him. ''I know the right place to send them...'' 

Suddenly everything stopped. The fight, the sound and only the small group of people stood there still frozen in time while Taskmaster stood in front of them with an angry expression. ''You all, what have you done?''

The woman on floor woke up. She touche her head and could feel huge bump and inhaled as she touched the open wound. ''What happened?'' But then she saw the Taskmaster and almost didn't faint again. ''Taskmaster?!''

He snorted. ''They are sent to the other part of this world to live there for twenty-five years. You are still punished with five more years and will live on one of the islands far away from the main continent. How will you survive in the next nine years, not my problem? Literally. Just to let you know, Kendra is live. I saved her in the last moment but you people have no idea how dangerous close you were for your worlds to be destroyed. She is the only child from the Grounding fairy Mela. If you ever head of her?''

The thin man that stood up against Gelo was stunned. ''Ggg.. grounding fairy child? No, I do not know her name, it is enough to know how vicious they are. From now on I will run away every time I see her. Thank you for telling us.''

But Taskmaster just waved his hand and put spell on them. ''In case you let your thongs wiggle too much and speak of her true self, you will die most vicious was possible. Understood?''

Of course, they knew how strong Taskmaster is. They just nodded and disappeared after a few moments as well. Kendra saw his eyes darting here and there and she could see his face showing high discomfort as well.

He turned his head towards her. ''What is this place. I feel strange here.''

She just patted him while slowly sliding with her foot casually one of the stones on the floor. Soon he felt comfortable again and thought it was just the whole situation that made him feel that way. 

For first time in his life, he was truly anxious, fearful. happy, sad and angry at the same time. What was that about? 

But Kendra could feel all those things pouring out his body and his confusion as well. This is a weirdly cute side on him. I like it...
