Chapter 18: Little Sister, Big Sister

My name is Jovanna, well that is my new name. I was called Unruly Storm by my parents, I gave me another name once but...If I think back about how I called myself. I can only laugh. When did I became such a narcisst? Was it when the humans came and feared us? Or after our parents ascended?

I had to look after my little brother, that was the only thing I had in mind. It was a promise I made to father. Where are they now? Now that I am a False Immortal I could ascend too but..why is this nagging feeling inside me which tells me not to?

Ohh by the way, at the moment I am flying. I know, being a False Immortal is more than enough. Well, I got punished by Sect Master, rightfully. I never knew that flying was this beautiful. The air which surrounds me feels nice, I wonder how far did Sect Master throw me? I hope I don't hit land.

On board the ship of the Waterflower Sect did the only core disciple left run towards the bow of it.

"Elder Lin, Young Sect Mistress...there..there is a person flying towards us!"

When the duo heard this they instantly felt shivers down their spine. Again? It wasn't that long ago that they met the weird cultivator!

Elder Lin instantly watched the horizon and sure enough, there was! He kempt his robe and coughed several times to make his voice smoofer. He didn't want to annoy the person coming towards them.

After several seconds did the outline of the pwrson flying become clearer. Elder Lin was the first to have a weird look on his face. Soon followed by the other two.

"Elder Lin..why do I think that person isn't really flying?" Lena didn't know what to think. To see people flying over the ocean wasn't really common. To have the first one sitting at a table and the second one..seeming to sleep? Was a whole other level of concept.

"Young Sect Mistress, who knows what exentric people think? The last pwrson we met wasn't better, right? Truth be told...it seems the pwrson is like a thrown speer than a person flying.."

The core disciple beside them could just laugh silently. Why was this happening always on his shift to be the look out? Did he steal candy from little children in his last life?

The person in question, Jovanna, was in thoughts. She didn't believe one bit that Sect Master just did this as punishment. Suddenly she had a enlightment.

"Is this about how one should go back to their roots? Swimming..water...storm! I'm a storm dragon! Sect Master wanted me to understand that I should focus more on my body than to just train mindlessely with cultivating! What would a storm dragon be if not the apex of lightning and water!"

If Elor was here and heard that he would facepalm. It was just a punishment which he came up with on the spot! How did it turn out like this!

The Waterflower Sect people who saw the person flying suddenly "jump" up became scared. The trojectory of the person made a long line before heading straight towards them.

Elder Lin instantly yelled at some outer court disciples. "Hard Port, hard port!" The disciples tasked with steering the ship did what they were told. Only seconds after they evaded to the left side did they feel the ship rumble from waves.

Jovanna hit the water only several meters beside them. Lena, Elder Lin and the core disiple walked towards the starboard and watched the water down below with puzzled eyes. Would the person...come out?

The question was answered when a motionless body ascended to the surface. Lena wanted to jump in and save the women but was held back by Elder Lin.

"Grandpa?!..." She saw the ceased eyebrows of him. Did he find something out? Before she could ask did she hear a voice from down below.

"Mhmmm Sect Master is really Sect Master! Even his punishments are to train us! Hahah the feeling of hitting water without protection. It's like going into a new world! Breaking a barrier!"

The crowd on top of the ship had a perplexed look on them. Not everybody saw the first person to meet them. But the word did go around. How it was probably an eccentric cultivator. What he did and everything.

Lena didn't care and shouted to Jovanna down below which scared Elder Lin beside her.

"Are you alright? We will get you on deck shortly!"

Only when Jovanna heard that voice did she realize that a ship was beside her. Humans? What were they doing here?

"Eh? No no! Don't you dare to! This is a test from Sect Master! I have to swim back!" As if she would let them help her cheat, no worse! As if she would let them destroy this opportunity!

The three people peeking over the reeling were puzzled. Test? What kind of test would this be?

"Ehm, as you wish? Isn't your sect master cruel? You are only in the Body Forging realm. The nearest land to here is the Forlorn Continent. Where does your sect reside?" The first sect Elder Lin thought about was one from the Shadow Organization. They may be so cruel as to do this as a punishment.

Jovanna looked at the man with a annoyed face..if only she was. When she reiganed her clarity she could only smile to herself. It wasn't easy to change one self within a day. At least she understood what she did wrong.

"No, Sect Master was even lenient with me. If I was in his shoes..I would have done much worse. He even gave myself an opportunity. As for my sect..it isn't important. What are you doing out here, if I may ask?"

If Elor or Johann were here they would spit out some blood. Was this really Jovanna? Elor would ask himself if he may have thrown her to hard and damaged her brain.

Elder Lin didn't want to answer but Lena somehow liked this weird women.

"Sister..ehh, oh no! We didn't even introduce ourself! My name is Lena, this is Elder Lin and this one is Sun. What is your name big sister?" Lena wanted to know this women better. 

Jovanna and the rest were dumbfounded, all for different reasons. Sun because the Young Sect Mistress knew his name, Elder Lin because she was to simpel. Jovanna didn't know to laugh or cry, how old was this girl? 20 maybe? She was about 150 times older than her.

"Little sister Lena? You can call me big sis Jovanna." Did Jovanna feel bad for it? No, who didn't want someone calling them big sister/brother? The same implied to Elor being called grandpa by Aura.

Lena had sparkling eyes, like it was told before. It was already nice of her foster mother to let her out to the inner court of the sect. All people she met did call her Young Sect Mistress.  She didn't care about her being stronger than the women in the water.

"Big sis big sis! So where do you need to go? Maybe we can take you there?" Lena already forgot that jovanna told them to not care about her swimming.

"I don't have far if I had my..no.. my goal is the Forlorn Continent." Jovanna saw Len's eyes become bigger and bigger.

"Really?!? So we can travell together! We have the same goal! But..is your sect there? I heard that there were two bloodthirsty immortal dragons, killing everyone on sight! How does your sect exist there?"

Lena didn't see the facial change of Jovanna. Elder Lin and Sun did. Especially Elder Lin. His fance changed color when he saw the cramped smile of the women in the water when she heard " bloodthirsty immortal dragons". He didn't want to believe his conclusion though.

"Say little sister..who told you about those two bloodthirsty dragons?"  Sun coughed and bowed before leaving the starboard side with fast steps.

Elder Lin also suddenly said " Dear Lena, I will leave you two alone to bond. Maybe you can tell her about how the world is full of misunderstandings." 

Lena watched Elder Lin leave with a puzzled expression. She back around and told Jovanna in the water.

"I couldn't leave the sect master hall for most of my near past, most I heard was from Elder Lin and..and foster mother. Also some core disciples told me of the wonders of the world and many dangerous beasts! Like those two dragons! They told me that everybody who even dared to invade their territory would be tortured and eaten alive while they would smile evily! Isn't it scary big sister?!? I really can't understand how your sect is in that place.."

Jovanna halted swimming for a moment after hearing her new sister talk. Say what? How didn't she knew that her brother and she had such a hobby? She couldn't deny that they attacked everyone coming but that had its reason. She remembered the two people who left in a hurry and swam back towards Lena.

With a evil grin on her face she asked.

"Ohh my life isn't as interesting as it sounds. I would like to hear more about you, especially what things people told you about the outside world. You know, I didn't leave the forlorn continent either since I was born."

This was how Jovanna found a little sister and Lena finally had someone she could talk freely to.
