I didn't get enough sleep last night because I've been overthinking things that will happen today.
As I'm standing here outside the house, Patiently waiting for my ride to arrive. Also, today will be the day where the landlords will let my father go. That was the deal we agreed.
"Are you sure about this, Wix?" my mom asked. She was hugging herself cause it's pretty cold here outside. I told her she should go back to sleep. It's still dawn, and she should be sleeping. But she insisted that she'll wait here with me.
"Yes, don't worry, mom. I'll be fine." I assured her I'm going to be okay, even though there is a possibility that I'm going to die. She looked at me with her worried eyes. "Please promise me you'll come back." I smiled at her, a genuine smile.
"I promise, mom, I'll come back home." but not sure if I'm coming home alive or dead, but I'm confident that I'm coming back here. My mom hugged me tightly. I'm going to miss this.
"Do you remember that day when you killed those ogres? I'm so dead worried about you and Berc, but when you two came back and laughing, I knew that you'd be a powerful mage. Maybe this is only a step for you to achieve that."
I buried my face in her chest; I'm bout to cry, but I have to prevent my tears from falling. I can't let her see me breaking down to this moment. I have to be tough. I didn't respond to what she said. I keep hugging her like it's going to be the last moment that I will hug her. I felt other arms around me. It was my brother he's hugging me too.
Our hugging sessions got interrupted by the sounds of horses getting near here in our house. After a few minutes, my has ride has arrived. I saw a Black horse. And a Silver Drawn Carriage on its back. This is it. I have to go now; I stood up with a heavy heart.
I'm holding my tears the whole time. As I walked towards the ride, I can't help myself look back and saw my Mom and Berc crying, waving their hands whispering their goodbyes to me. Once again, I smiled at them. I lifted my left arm and waved. I guess there's no turning back now.
The door in Carriage opened automatically. I'm amazed. As it open I immediately saw A Handsome Guy. I think he got recruited too. He's wearing classy clothing, a color red Shirt, classic jeans he's wearing an excellent shoe maybe it cost a ton of silver or gold.
He has this messy hair. It looks like he just got up in bed and jump right away in Carriage.
A pair of Chestnut brown eyes He also got this pointed nose and cherry red lips. And he seems a nice guy.
"Aren't you going to get in, or you'll stare there all day long? Cause I don't have time for that. " His voice was cold, that will give a shiver. I immediately get into the Carriage.
I comfortably sat beside him and looked at him; he raised his eyebrows.
"Who told you you could sit near me? You filthy Harpies."
Wait, what did he call me? A filthy Harpies? Oh no, no, not that ugly monster. Well yeah, I know I don't look that good as a woman, but to compare as harpies. Oh hell, Nah. I folded my arm into my chest and raised my eyebrows too.
"Oh, look who's talking, A Goblin. I never knew that the white summit is accepting other creatures." Just forget what I said. This guy isn't nice.
"Just shut your mouth." he irritability said.
I smirked and patted my shoulder. Let no one call you foul names, even though your parents gave you a weird one.
I just looked outside the window. I saw different trees. Did you know? That if you see a tree with greener leaves than another tree, that shows something buried in the soil. It could be a dead human or animal.
It's been half an hour, and we're still on board. I'm already hungry. I forgot to eat my breakfasts. I'm imagining everything as delicious as food. Why the heck didn't I eat breakfast before I go? I think it will take a long time to get to the Palace. Suddenly I heard my stomach growls. And this guy is looking at me like I did something terrible. "Pfft. What a pig."
Calm down, Wix. Save your energy. Just don't a fuck to what he said. Just calm down.
Oh, look, fairies, I wonder what they taste like? No Wix; stop it. You can't eat fairies; it's illegal.
Finally, we're here at Leminitus Palace. After a long time holding my hunger and imagining what my surroundings taste like, I'm yet here.
As soon as the horse stops, I rush out cause I can't take it to have another second with that Goblin guy. He's pissing me off.
I look around. This palace has a gigantic gate and a Pegasus as its symbol. It seems so Majestic; even I'm still standing in front of this massive gate; you can't see what's inside because it blocks it.
"Hey"
I almost jumped when someone speaks behind me. I'm holding my chest' 'cause I got shocked.
"Sorry to scare you, but I have to see your invitation. Do you have it?" He politely said.
I think he's the gatekeeper. I handed him the invitation so that I can pass through. He just looked, nodded, and he let me in.
It surprised me what I see right now.
It's so splendid and truly royal. It also has this graceful and enchanting vibe. Magically ornate. I'm losing words to describe it, but it's so Otherworldly. I can't help but smile. I still can't beloved that I'm here. I know this will be tragic for me, but at least I saw this kind of place.
As I am walking around and still amazed at what I'm seeing, there's a colorful flag; and I can smell fresh scents.
I wasn't looking at the way I bumped into someone. And I freaking fall to the ground face-first, dammit. I looked up to see this person I bumped into. It's a girl.
