Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 : Swan Of The Garden

Xasxquar, now happily in the Seliponian class, but little did he know that an entirely new hurdle was about to come, and an avalanche of hurdles, all with the meeting of one certain person, that he would have imagined as the god of all, but not now, the warning was given to him by the omens, he just had to listen to them and use them as his soldiers in war.

Xasxquar's mother recently revealed to him that her name was Zephtak, and the day she met him in college was still very confusing. How she got past all the security defenses nobody knew, Xasxquar was even pretty sure that the only person who had seen his mother was him and the Jérmolog, from the moment the thought popped into his head, it kept bugging, and now that he was famous he thought, he could cut himself some slack and keep the the dialect aside, so he did he wanted fun, he wanted "approval", after all he was now one the most respected people in his home place he could do a little commanding on the people who commanded him earlier, he could push anyone buttons, he could torture them or not, this new found respect was filling his body with some kind of authority, some kind of power, the small thought of this in his brain was contagious, he kept resisting the temptation to show off, to show his superiority, this thought kept burrowing in his brain, he wanted to be arrogant for once in his life, to hunt the hunters, but why, he didnt understand he wasnt like this before, he wasnt like this when got to the moetrolian class, but now the spike of attention he had was to addicting an now to get more money or attention he had to something great, something unforgettable, but with this ego he wouldnt be able to, he had to go to the college now, maybe the books would help, Xasxquar went.

"Good morning," giggled all the students, "Wonderful, isn't it" he said, laughing at their desperation to seek the great Xasxquar's attention, the Xasxquar which could make them his slaves in a snap. He looked down on their pathetic lives. Maybe by talking to him, they might gain some value to their lives, such as a life that he couldn't even imagine having, a new face of him, the anger, the hatred, the anguish, he could finally give them the same treatment they gave him.

The sides of Xasxquars were battling; the arrogant side was winning, and the good side was getting subdued every moment. If only something could make the good side of him win. He entered his staff room to see a new faculty member; funny, his greatness brought him new servants. 

She said, " Hello, Xasxquar The Nerd." Xasxquar was taken aback by this, but at the same time, it brought him down to the normal line a little, still arrogant, he said, "Hello, who?" she repeated "Nerd" he was now back to normal, the two sentences she said brought Xasxquars to his normal self, but still stained with arrogance and a complete confusion on how she knew his name. 

He asked her, "Your name, miss?" 

She replied, "Swana."

He replied, "I've heard your name before. By any chance, is your brother's name Bharath, if you have one?"

She said, " Yes, mister, you have met my brother, and thank you."

He asked, "Why?"

She replied, "You gave my brother good advice, of course, he did help you reach this level by passing the knowledge he had, the time you got thrown out of the library by him, we laughed so hard."

He replied, "Ahhh, yes, he helped me a lot, though he knew who I was, so I suppose you also know who I am."

She replied, "Mm-hm, I know you Xasxquar, don't worry, we're good, after all, you saved my brother's life, whatever you told him stopped him from almost killing himself, I just had to repeat what you said."

Then, he said, "I'm very sorry to inform you of this, but I don't remember what I said."

She replied, "It's not what's been said, it's who that has said it. You, even though in such a state, you still said An Act Done Great Is An Act Rewarded Great." 

Xasxquar's pride, arrogance, and envy had disappeared; the good side won.

 He replied, "It isn't me who stopped him; it was his maturity and your love."

She replied heartily with " Thank you, Xasxquar, I meant Arrack."

He replied, "See you, Swana."

With that, they left for their lectures; after all, they were faculty and needed to attend to their lectures. After the lectures were over, they met again, Xasxquar now with the courage, asked Swana to come to his house, and she happily accepted. They moved closer, but afar promptly, Xasxquar told his mother that she was coming, and Swana that his mother didn't know about the incident.

They were soon to travel through the ship, but Swana's ship was already full, so she sat beside Xasxquar, without even asking. Xasxquar felt shy instead of being arrogant, and he decided to start a conversation with her. They discussed a wide range of topics, including their personal lives, and they seemed happy with each other.

Swana said, "Do you not know how to talk to a woman?"

Xasxquar said, " This is the longest conversation I've ever had with one."

Swana chuckled and said, "I'll teach you."

Xasxquar brought her into his home, she was amazed by the home, even his mother liked Swana very much, they talked for hours and hours, laughing and giggling, both of them felt happy, Xasxquar thought " Where were you my entire life", but then she got a call from her brother, she had to go, she didnt even leave, yet he felt eager to meet her tomorrow, this meeting was the first seed of their garden.
