Hello~ This is my first uploaded Fanfiction. I've written a lot but I never really thought of adding them. I've decided to slowly add them all up. I will update them on a bases of which ones are liked more, so if you enjoy the story, please comment or Favorite, or whatever you want to do.

This is a Judal(Judar)xOC starting just before the Balbadd Arc. I do not own Magi or its characters. Alya is my own made up character.

Spoiler: This story was started before the truth of the Kou Empire's Queen was told in the manga chapter 193 so she appears to not see Ruhk in this story.

Chapter 1: Personal Servant? When Did I Agree to This?

The guards jostled the slender girl between them as they lead her though the empirical hall. Her shoulders were hunched as if to protect herself; her bottom lip quivered under her bite. This morning guards had come upon the girl's, Alya's, market stand, grabbing her without an explanation. All her friend, who helped with the stand, could do was stay with the stand, watching them. No one could oppose the Kou guards.

They led her to large double doors where they handed her off to other guards. These guards led her into a throne room. For the moment that she could look, there was a throne where the king sat, beside him was a woman, the queen, and to the woman's left stood the empire's oracle—she had seen him walking the streets before. He had given her a strange look before quickly leaving the street just yesterday. The usual black things flew around him, giving her the creeps. But her glimpse was not long for one of the guards grabbed her by the hair and forced her head low to the ground, her body crumbling in place to keep up.

"Is that her, Judal?" a rough voice questioned, most likely the kings. Judal, if Alya recalled, was the name of the oracle.

There was no reply but the king hmmed as if he had heard, or perhaps seen, something the girl could not. "Lift her head" a female voice added. The queen's melodious voice fit her innocent, loving-mother appearance.

The guard pulled the girls head up with her hair, sending pain though her scalp. She didn't dare look at the king and queen in the eyes, instead she glanced around before settling on Judal. Some of those black flying things flew at her, she kept herself from cringing and it flew past. She had learned a while back that most people didn't see what she could. She didn't want them to think she was insane… A few more flew past her but she just looked at the floor, pretending they didn't exist.

"Well?" the queen asked.

"Nothing," an annoyed male's voice answered. "I see the Rukh, but she doesn't seem to. Or she's a really good faker"

Alya kept her mouth shut, unsure what these "Rukh" were but it sounded like those flying butterflies she kept seeing.

"Sweet, you should go, I'll take care of this with Judal." The queen said. Alya heard a sigh as the king got up and exited without a protest. Judal came up to her and grabbed her arm roughly, pulling her with him as the guard let go.

Alya decided this was the best time to try to defend herself. "I- I don't know what I'm accused of, but…but I assure you I have not done it. I'm just a humble peasant! I would never dare offend the empire," she rushed, keeping her eyes plastered to the floor. She heard a chuckled but Judal did not reply.

He led her to a separate smaller room and closed the door behind them. The queen was already there. Though the queen looked pretty and kind, Alya had a bad vibe about her. There were no white butterflies that Alya had begun to regard as good messengers. The black ones that surrounded Judal seemed evil. The queen also had black ones flying around, but there were fewer. What was most scary about her was that as a white butterfly would soar by her, it would turn pitch black…I would get corrupted.

Judal released her and came to the queen's side. "I still think she's faking. The Ruhk are attracted to her so she has to be special. Anyone with a lot of Ruhk can command them!"

"Will you test it out then?" the queens kind smile melted away.

Judal smiled. In a flash, Alya felt a stabbing pain in her right shoulder as she was forced backward against the wall. She slid to the ground, her left hand coming to her right shoulder as the pain continued. Her shoulder felt slick… Glancing down with a gulp, she saw the magically formed ice stabbed into her shoulder, her cream shirt was being dyed red as blood was soaked into its fabric.

She looked up in horror, seeing the accumulation of white butterflies—they called them ruhk?—around Judal's red jeweled wand. He pointed the wand at her and she squeaked, looking away, bracing herself for the hit. A few seconds later she opened one eye and looked up. Judal watched her with more annoyance than before.

"What happened Judal?" The queen said.

"The Ruhk… side-passed her? They just… went around her… she didn't even have a Borg up…" He couldn't seem to make sense of it. Alya didn't understand but she didn't waste time. He was going to kill her! She had to get out of there. She tried to pull at the ice in her shoulder to no avail; it hurt too much to move it. She didn't have time to try for long anyway. Judal strode up to her.

"How the hell did you do that, Bitch." He exclaimed, cornering her. He grabbed the ice in his hand and pulled it out. Alya screamed in pain, tears coming to her eyes.

"I- I didn't do anything"

"You definitely saw the Ruhk! You flinched, knowing it was coming."

"I… I don't know what Ruhk are," she whimpered, telling the truth. She really didn't know what they were, she just saw the butterflies.

"Do you see these," Judal growled pointing at the air where the black butterflies flew about them.

She gulped but nodded slowly.

Judal opened his mouth, about to say something but he stopped as he stared at her bleeding shoulder. She took the moment to look at the damage only to see the gathered white Ruhk covering it. The bleeding had stopped and the pain was slowly disappearing. Judal lifted his hand causing Alya to jerk. Was he going to hit her? But he didn't, his hand hovered a bit over her shoulder. He watched, seeming enchanted by the sight.

"Judal?" the queen called. Judal blinked and looked back at her. "Well?"

"She has no clue what's going on. She's not dangerous…" He glanced back at her. "But she's… interesting. I will keep her." He smiled at his decision, sending a chill down Alya's spine.

"If you want her, you can have her." She smiled. The queen watched as Judal took Alya by the arm and dragged her along as they left the room and headed down a hall, passing many watching servants.

He pulled her into a room and closed the door. "This will be your new home." He announced when she looked at him confused. "You're my personal servant." He said it so matter-of-factly that it through her off-guard.

"But I… I have my market stand to watch over… and my parents… I…"

Judal watched her angrily. Suddenly he pushed her. She fell onto the large bed in the room. He was above her before she could get to her feet. Pain shot though her shoulder again and she whimpered. Judal noticed and glanced at her shoulder. He got up and left the room without a word.

Alya got up and watched the door, unsure of what to do. Should she run? She was so confused. Sinking to the floor, she stayed there for a long time. The Ruhk settled back on her shoulder and the pain slowly faded again.

So Judal(Judar) was a real jerk, I know, but he gets nicer as the story goes farther :)
