FRIDAY afternoon when the classes ended Xabara went to her room and bid goodbyes to her roommates. Hinintay muna niyang umalis ang dalawa bago lumisan sa kwarto at nagpunta sa loob ng garden. There she saw a man covered by a cloak just like what her father told her.
The man handed him another cloak to wear, the hood is so long that only the path she walk can only see.
"Xabara sumunod ka," ika ng lalake at tumango si Xabara rito.
The man went deeper inside the forest and Xabara followed him. When the man stops from walking she watches him as he entered some black hole in his front like a portal.
She saw a dark alley with a blinking lights each side of the pathway. People were wearing cloak that no one could recognize them. Xabara continue walking as the man who she followed walk in another path where no lights.
"So this is the Witcher Alley"
She calmed herself when the man pointed the door in his side and walk away. Hindi na sinundan pa niya ang lalake dahil sa tinuro na nito ang kanyang tinitirahan pansamantala.
She tought that she'll stay with him until someone will take her to the kingdom but seeing him walk away she shrug herself. She opens the door and walk inside the great place she never imagine to stay. A very aesthetic, old and vintage place she can live a wooden floor and a tanned couch with a lamp side. There are a dusty bookshelves and a dinner table for two and a princess size bed.
Xabara won't even sleep in there she knew that this is all an act and someone will fetch her to the Kingdom.
"Kaninong bahay naman kaya ito?"
She wandered around the small place and when she saw a fridege she grably open it. But instead of foods a paper with a note is written in there which made her rolled her eyes.
"I'll buy you a food just sit and relax"
She grabs the bottle of water and sit in the couch while waiting to the person who wrote the note. She's really hungry but she wouldn't use her book spell to make foods because it tastes awful.
One day, Xabara was alone after another 50's woman leaves her place again because of the King's order she was all alone with no foods as the woman made her hungry always. She departs the Mountain leaving Xabara in famished and stomach ache. Xabara use her spell to make her breakfast and it taste awfully weird and dry. She's only five then and doesn't knew how to make some noodles.
Pumihit ang pinto kaya naalarma si Xabara dali-dali niyang kinuha ang bagay na malapit sa kanya upang ihampas sa kung sinuman ang nang-ahas na pumasok sa bahay ng walang katok. But all of her deadly thoughts on how to smash the lamp to the person vanish when she recognize the man holding a bags full of different kind of foods.
"Sy?"
"Hi" nakangiting ika nito kay Xabara at pinakita ang pagkain na dala nito.
"How did you find this place?"
"What are you talking about this is my place"
Xabara look confuse while Syzygy just stared at her sweetly. Xabara brush that thought and sit in the couch.
"Are you one of my father's knights?"tanong nito sa lalake. Natawa naman si Sy at umupo sa tabi nito.
"Have you forgotten that I'm from the Lavera Kingdom?" he then pat Xabara's head like a cute puppy.
She massage her forehead when again she forgotten something. Tinignan nito ang mata ni Sy at tila isa itong kalawakan sa ganda ng mata nito.
"Stop staring" sabay tingin nito sa dalang pagkain.
"You have wonderful eyes"
"I am named Syzygy because of my eyes, a supreme pair of opposites try to search in books you'll see" sabay ngiti sa direksiyun ni Xabara.
Tumayo ito at kumuha ng apat na plato at inihain ang mga pagkain na dala. He opened the rice cooker to get a rice, of course.
"Kumain ka muna bago ka umuwi" at tumayo mula sa inuupuan nito.
"Akin laaahat ito?"
"Hindi kukuha lang ako ng katol maraming lamok eh"
Xabara rolled her eyes and went back to her plate while Syzygy is laughing hardly. Matapos masindihan ang katol at nilagay malayo sa kanila dahil sa baho ng amoy nito ay bumalik na rin siya sa gilid ni Xabara.
"Kidding that's all yours kumain na ako".
Tumango na lang sa kanya si Xabara at hindi na siya pinansin pa dahil sa gutom na talaga siya. She did not take her lunch because of her practice. Gabrielle also asks her but she rejected it and even the three knights' cousin offered but also she got them rejected. Xabara want to focus on her practice other from that she's thinking about the poison she needed to make. So her mind was on and off for awhile until she got starve to death.
Syzygy is just watching her grab the foods and put it in her mouth together. He secretly laugh as he couldn't get enough with Xabara's cuteness and beautiful. He fake cough when Xabara eyed to him when she notice the stares.
She narrowed her eyes while Sy's eyebrows rise as if asking her 'what'. She shrugs and went back eating while Sy on the other hand continue chuckling secretly.
"By the way, if this is your house how come I'm here? Does my father know that you know that I know about you being known?"
"What?"
"I meant alam ba nang ama ko na alam mo kung sino ako at alam ko na alam mo gets mo?" natatawang pang-aasar ni Xabara rito.
Sy laugh together with her and nod over and over again.
"I understand what you are saying but no."
"What?"
"This isn't the place you're supposed to be the man who pointed this door was actually a friend of mine."
Xabara went hysterical and jump around the room.
"WHAT? What about my dad? Oh my, I'm dead! He thinks I abandoned him he'll call for a war to Lavera again for sure! He might think that you people of Lavera knew that I'm found and buried me alive so my father will never find me"
"Stop, your just being hilarious your Dad think that you're safely in the home he provided. That friend of mine earlier is a Knight of your Kingdom a trusted person of your father. I ask him to bring you straightly here but don't worry your dad won't know."
"That I'm here with you and not in the place he provided?"
"He can never come here in the Witcher Alley because the witched probably know that's it's the King so every Friday afternoon you'll mine"
"I'm w-what?"
Humalakhak ng tawa si Sy at may pahawak pa ito ng tiyan kahit hindi naman nakakatawa iyun para kay Xabara. She slaps his arm that made him stop from laughing hilariously.
"It's not funny"
"I know I'm sorry" and then he went back seriously.
"What a bipolar"
