After walking for a long time, Alexa started to feel tired. “I’m so tired. I can’t walk anymore.”
“If you are tired, then you have to rest, Alexa. Nobody will hurt. Not anymore.” The mystical voice that had disappeared appeared again. Hence, the daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira, was stunned, but this was only for a moment.
Alexa walked to a tree and sat near it as soon as possible after arriving there. A teenage girl with chestnut brown hair leaned her back against the tree trunk and enjoyed the gentle breeze that felt on her skin.
The sunlight was no longer as bright as before because there was already a mass of white clouds covering it, making the air in the area where Alexa was located shady. The sharp-nosed girl closed her eyes. After being silent for a few minutes, hunger and thirst began to be felt, so that young lady opened her eyes and then looked around. “There is nothing here. I am thirsty and hungry.”
“Why are you complaining, Alexa?” The figureless voice asked the young girl.
“I am not complaining, but I feel hungry and thirsty. I do not see anything here which I can eat and drink.” A teenage girl, who had a height of hundred and seventy centimeters tall, answered while looking around.
That voice was no longer heard, but Alexa did not mind this. The young girl was trying to find something to consume. However, she felt doubtful because she saw so many foreign plants, which, of course, she did not know whether they were safe to eat directly or whether they were dangerous to health.
“Is there a river around here? I do not know how to catch fish yet because while I was at the orphanage, I was never taught anything like that. This situation is because of Odessa! If that damn kid had not done something wrong, then I would still be at the orphanage and live my life as usual. I wish Aileen and Adaline were still around, so she definitely would not dare act out,” muttered Alexa, annoyed. However, these words had no effect on the existing situation.
“I miss eating fried fish and meat-filled toast made by Madame Olslon. A glass of water and milk seems suitable to drink in this hot weather.”
Just as the beautiful girl made her wish, two plates of hot food suddenly appeared in front of her. Even a glass of milk and another glass filled with water came out by themselves, so Alexa was stunned for a long time because she couldn’t believe the sight she saw. “Am I dreaming?”
That young woman rubbed her eyes, and the two plates and two glasses were still in the same place, so Alexa pinched herself. “Ouch! It hurts. That means I’m not dreaming. Why does food and drink appear by itself, huh? Who would do something like that?” Alexa asked herself.
“I did it, Alexa. You can drink and eat them.” A mystical voice without a figure that had disappeared seemed to answer the question of the granddaughter of Sir Elmer Louis Writh and Madame Phoenix Lily Katira.
“Thank you, Goddess.” Alexa did not know why she called the disembodied voice ‘Goddess,’ even though she did not know whose voice it was.
That same voice did not respond, and Alexa started to move forward, then took the plates that were there and took them under the tree. The same thing was done for the two glasses there. When everything was finished, a teenage girl who was often bullied while still living in the orphanage started to take the bread and then chewed it slowly.
I no longer have a home, but that is not a problem. I am sure that I will come to the great new place, even though I do not know what will happen next, thought Alexa, while eating the food that the Goddess Magia gave.

Twenty minutes later,
Alexa had finished eating. He was complete and started to stand up from her original position. “Where should I go now, Goddess?” Alexa asked, begging for guidance.
“Walk forward. Do not turn anywhere,” answered the voice.
Alexa obeyed what the foreign voice ordered. The young girl started walking and did not feel hot because a cloud seemed to follow wherever the Chosen One went.
Approximately five hundred meters from where she was standing, she saw a large tree that looked different from anything she had ever seen before; there was a tree that resembled a teak tree. However, on the trunk, there are two colours: red and purple, and strangely, the tree’s branches remain brown, and all the leaves are green.
“Is this the place? I don’t know the characteristics of the forest because they’re not explained in the book. What is the name of that tree? Because I have never seen that before. Alright. Now I have to get in there to be sure, rather than thinking about anything else. Who knows, that might be my ultimate goal,” said the girl.
Alexa stepped towards it with great curiosity. When she was about to enter the forest, about fifty meters away, a middle-aged woman was standing, carrying a bag containing food and drink. She looked at the young girl.
Is that the girl the High Priest said? I can’t be sure because I have not seen the colour of her eyes. We never knew what hazel was like because no one in our tribe had ever had one, Lutzhi thought.
The white girl saw a woman standing there as if waiting for someone. Ah, is she the person I should ask about Brazam Gaelith? A foreign voice said, if I have to ask the first person I meet and is right in front of me, Alexa thought, and she was trying to remember the directions from that strange voice.
That female witch approached so that the two of them were now face to face. The white-haired woman looked shorter when compared to the tall and slim Alexa. The teenage girl smiled at Lutzhi, who responded with the same treatment.
“Excuse me, ma’am. I want to ask, do you know where the residence of Brazam Gaelith is?” Alexa opened a conversation.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment as if she could not believe what she had heard because it was the same as the message from the High Priest before sending her there.
It turns out that what the High Priest told was true. This girl is the Chosen One! Goddess Magia is so kind because she has answered our prayers. Lutzhi was very grateful and expressed everything in her heart.
“Yes, I know where he lives. Do you want to meet Mr. Brazam? Follow me, and I will take you to his place.” Lutzhi offered help in a friendly manner.
Alexa nodded and felt happy because she had come to the right place. “Yes, I want to meet him. Thank you for being so helpful, ma’am.”
“You are welcome. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lutzhi, and this is for you, Miss,” she said, handing over the package he had brought.
The first daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira was stunned because she was given a gift by someone she had just met. The virgin felt embarrassed; apart from not knowing her closely, she was also afraid that she would be treated evilly. Lutzhi, who knew that Alexa was silent, smiled as soon as possible.
“Do not be afraid, Miss. This gift is from Mr. Brazam. He asked me to hand it over to you.” Lutzhi assured the interlocutor.
“Really? Excuse me, if I may ask, who is Mr. Brazam?” asked Alexa, who could not hide her surprise.
“Master Brazam is the High Priest of our place. Please take it, Miss. “He’s been waiting for your arrival,” said Lutzhi, handing Alexa the bag.
The girl was silent for a moment and then took the package offered by Lutzhi. There was a feeling of awkwardness because she was treated in a unique way, but all that was pushed away. “Thank you, Madam.”
“You are welcome. Come, follow me, Miss.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The two of them walked into the forest to go to the village of the witches who had been expelled from their own city. Lutzhi and Alexa did not speak to each other because they were focused on travelling to their destination, where not everyone in Zlatav knew the actual position.
