A Time Of Meetings

Day 1

"Mom, I can pack by myself."

"What? Oh no no, no no, no."

"Why not?"

"Just because. Anyway, why don't you go take another stroll or something? It'll take a while."

When the time was just about right, her bags were bulky and big. She wondered of its contents and checked it before moving out. She almost let out a cold sweat after checking it. There were extras of almost everything. Even forks and spoons were given 4 pairs to her. She had lots of things that were considered a bit useless throughout the trip, but she understands her mother's kind and overprotective nature of being a mother.

"HEY, ARE YOU DONE YET?" Foxx was waiting outside her doorstep.

"GIVE ME A SEC!" She quickly grabbed her bags and bid farewell to her mother. She promised in 3 days time, she'll return home.

They were so close to the meeting location, but of course, they were lost.

"Oh man, is it always this hard to reach there? I'm not sure about coming again, or at least, alone."

"We still have plenty of time, I'm sure we'll reach there." With foxx's navigation and leading skills, they easily reach their destination in the next few minutes after they got lost, as expected from a wonderful hunter, who's good in the woods.

"Hey, guys." This must be Feeza, she's so much more beautiful than the art dreamer had imagined. With a warm welcome, they settled in a place to stay. It wasn't luxurious, but it was on a fine level. Usually they wouldn't be into supernatural, but the place gave them the eerie feeling.

The location was at another village, in a building they waited for the other participants. She noticed how there was a sword in the stone nearby the building, but of course, it had to be fake, since the legend had long passed, or did it?

When all participants arrived, all of them waited for the big doors to open and officially begin their lessons taught by the visitors. When it finally started, she couldn't believe the friendly welcomes that were given to her and everyone. After greetings, came the dance party.

She never thought of herself to join in the dance, since she had always thought of herself as a suck(ish) dancer, but she enjoyed it very much. Soon, the introductions began.

A Knight named Nee Zhen stood in front of everyone with courage, and spoke his thoughts. She wondered how he was able to stand with confidence and look calm as it is. She can never imagine herself like that.

Then, she met many more people together with foxx. The knights that joined her team were, Hicham, Sadok and Antoine. Qiyao Wang, the magician joined them in games too. Most would say, it was for lessons, but it wouldn't have been interesting if it didn't involved activities to know each other. They may be Knights and magician of high rank, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun.

Although, some knights might not remember her, but she appreciates their meeting. Back at the village, she was much more of a pessimistic person. When it came to meeting new people, there was something she might be missing out, that made everyone to forget her existence.

This time for sure, she wanted to try her best.

When they were given rest before continuing, there was some alone time between her and foxx, but before they could say, they regretted the decision to leave the village, one of the jokers appeared. The considerate entertainer, Jessie. Then, the circle became bigger. Knight Nee Zhen joined the talk a little before Jessie introduced the art dreamer and hunter, to the unexpectedly future favourite, Mark.

She couldn't figure out the position he had. Whether a Knight, a wizard, a magician, a joker, an ace, a Jack, or a traveller. Perhaps, a passing by Traveller. You never know much about them nor will they tell much about themselves, but most of the time, they're part of the goodness there is. Just like a magician, they might disappear at times, but the kind things they do, were always carved in memory.

She and Foxx realized how hard it was training outside the village with newly met strangers, and it was puzzling on how friendly they could be. She is an introvert from the opinion of many even herself, but she wants to know more about everyone, even though it's hard. Some of the magicians disappear time to time, and meetings become harder each day.

Before the sand in the hourglass runs out, it was her goal to know them all before they disappear in front of her eyes and never to be found again.

This time.

This time, for sure.

She wants to be carved onto their memories.

She wants to be remembered.

Because with remembrance, something never fades and stays fresh in minds.
