Time of emers

chapter 8

Guys here's new chapter hope you enjoy reading it!

Watching the competition took place it's really a stressful thing to do ,but I have tiana to blame for that since she's the one who insisted we should go have a look,I though were just going to have a look and go but this adventurer of a girl I call my friend already took her sit .

Let us go tiana you already have a look. she turn while grinning whole heatedly .oh no tell  me ,"what have you done again this time?", Ara  come on you're no fun at all sit beside me I promise you will not regret it. And beside you can't leave this place  because the elders place a barrier already and you know what the elders can do, single person can't lift the barrier I would have offer to help. Accepting defeat I sat down next to her while we  watched the competition every thing is surreal like looking into the mirror and watching a story happens in front of your eyes but the contestant can't see us as everything they felt is real in the cave. As today's competition come to an end I have gain interest in watching more competitions to come.

Slumping on my bed thinking about what will happened  tomorrow,telling my self  that we are leaving the village in few day and how I forgive tiana for tricking me since I later enjoy the show but its only bringing me closer to the truth "reality" I blow the candle and when to sleep .

The next morning when I wake up ,I went to grandpa's room but he's not there I searched the house hoping he could be some where, I want to tell him about a nightmare I have yesterday's night . this days I seems to be having different nightmares every two -nights ,before it's every night but after taking a portion that grandpa gave me it subside and I also know how to make some portion thankfully  .

Smiling I reached the dining ,I found a note and food on the table ,taking the note on my hand.

Ara my dear ;

Something urgent comes up , so I have to leave early, if you are lonely  in the house you can go to your Aunty's. Or keep meditating.

Grand pa.

I keep the note aside and have my breakfast ,I'm about to go to our little library (a small shelve where grandpa kept many giant books and scripts) in our parlor when  taina badged in ,I was little frightened when I saw her, she hugged me  looking excited so I hugged her back asking her what is she so excited about. Could you believe it Ara mom actually agreed to buy us the dress in mister yazid shop that we have been admiring for long "she said", are you serious tiana I can't believe it ,finally we are having that dress I don't know the time when I also hug tiana. And one more thing that I'm more happy about is that, they shift the competition back later in the evening ,but I know you've already take a guess at this one since your grand pa is not around. we can roam around the village and go to our favorite places" said tiana "OK I  agree but we have to meditate first, OK  agreed she said while grinning and raising her hand.

In the evening all the contestant gather outside Acadia ( an ancient building in the village where important things take place) ,when furna arrived ; she entered the building the same time with the contestants ,she unlock the venue and motion for them to enter and she disappeared, sigh redhead one day I want to be like her she's my role model,when she finished her day dream and look around she's the only one standing ,They where all seated waiting for the elders  ,some are already friends while some are bored of sitting ,so she also join them.  when the door opens and all their faces perk immediately with happiness, the elders walk in .wiz Marcus gave them a small speech and furna materialize a pot with smoke evaporating from the pot ,she motion for them to come one after another to collect their questions for the final stage of the competition by putting their hand inside the  steaming pot,but don't be anxious the steam will not hut  " she told them" they all do as instructed and start the exam ,each participant have different questions and time   magically written on the question paper and when the time is up to paper  will disappeared . That's how the final stage took place know we await for the results.

The results came out early the following morning two participants are withdrawn and the remaining four have pass the last stage with the two of us making six people.
The next day before we left to xania grandpa gave me a journal . we gathered together prepared and ready to live . The journey you're going to take is risky you don't know what a waits you there but you have to be extra careful in every decision and choices you are going to make in the feature ,I bid you farewell all young ones. I hug grandpa one last time before joining the group ,we reach the palace early the Queen  address us and minister bai escort us to the heavily guarded portal tree .
He put some coins inside and the portal opens we entered and boom.

*****
Who are you!!,
Why are you always in my dreams? The tall breathtaking looking man slightly turn with his striking pink eyes looking at me,I don't know why,but I suddenly feel some kind of emotions flow through me which I can't describe. The man keep opening and closing his mouth like he is trying to tell me something but the more I step closer the blurrier he become.

Bel are you okay ,when I open my eyes I was met by worried tiana. Are feeling alright Bel you've been crying inside your sleep are you a having nightmare ,did you want to talk about it?.No it's okay I'm fine you can go back to sleep ,sorry for waking you up. It's okay; But know that when you need a shoulder to cry I'm always available, you know I'm your favorite cookies she said while grinning. Hahhhh you know you're funny right but don't compared yourself with my favorite cookies because I will choose them and over you I said jokingly, night my favorite cookies. Night Bel.
I lay down on my bed my mind drifting back to earlier when we arrived to the academy,the portal stops directly at the academy gate ......

The academy is everything we've imagined ,we all enter through the gate at once .people flooding every where everybody is busy doing one  thing or the other .the moment we enter everything stay still and everyone attention is on us ,the girls are giggling and pointing at the silver head among us ,the guys are star stroke some have their mouth open while some are grim with jealousy ,even I must say he's beautiful ,I remembered tiana told me his name is Mubarak yakub the mysterious guy...
