Intro
"Grandpa, what's this book about? "A small red head girl was holding a book in her hand. The middle aged man turned away from his work and smiled.
"That's book is about the everlasting stones." he then stood up and walked over to a chest. Opening it he took out a case opening it was a bunch of stones with words on them.
"These are everlasting stones."
"What do they do?" the little girl asked.
"Sorry, but I promised the maker I wouldn't tell anyone what they are." He answered.
"Then why was there a book on them."
"In case of an emergency when we have to use one, the stones are extremely powerful so don't' touch them!" he warned her.
"Okay, so where did you get the book?" the old man thought for a moment. Deciding whether or not he should tell her.
"A friend from the guild I worked at gave it to me before he died." The little girl's eyes sadden.
"Oh, is that why you won't let anyone touch it? It's your most prized possession right.
"Yes and also he told me that book was dangerous so I need that back." Swiping book before she could react. Changing the subject she then asked
"What's your specialty at the guild?
"My specialty? Oh, you mean my powers. My power is ultimate. This means I could use any element at my will. He then told her all of his adventures he went for the guild. After he was finished the little girl was standing up with a green eye wide and an even wider smile.
"That's so cool! Next time when you go on a mission take me with you." The old man burst out laughing.
"You, on a mission? That's rich. Only the strongest and bravest can go on a mission. Besides who would take care of Rose, even you know its nonsense to bring a two year old girl on a mission." The little girl tried to think of way, but a letter flew into the house through the window. Picking it up the old man read it and frowned.
"You have to go on a mission? "She asked. Knowing what was going to happen she sat down and sighed. Everytime her grandpa has to go on a mission she had to take care of Rose by herself since her dad died. The old man's eyes softened and told her
"Hey, now what's with the long face? Tell you what if you ever get lonely just remember; I'll always watch you wherever you go." He then did a peace sign in front of her face. After pulling the peace sign away she just looked at him blankly.
"Whenever you or I do that sign it will tell you to remember what I just told you."
Sinbad POV
"Sinbad … Sinbad… HEY SINBAD WAKE UP WE'RE HERE!!!" screamed Giovanni. Surprised by the sudden outburst I fell off my seat. I glared at the winged black and white guardian. "Why thank you my trusty sidekick for waking me up. I guess no one told you that little kids needed plenty of sleep." I said slightly annoyed. I checked my two year old sister, she was still asleep, that was until …
"WELL I'm sorry but I never thought all my years as a magical guardian that I had to watch a bunch of little kids." yelled Gio. "That's because you were partying for 3,000 years and you look like a stuff animal." Hey that's not true I was just relaxing and besides …"Gio suddenly turn into a winged lion. "And does this look like a stuff animal?" I ignored him waking Rose slightly. I told her quietly "I'm sorry for the noisy overgrown cat but what he said is true we reached our stop." Gio begin to protest but with a snap of my fingers a muzzle appeared on his mouth. Rose opened one brown eye and yawned brushing her black hair out of her eyes. Rose and I began to walk off the train in a sleepy fashion.
"Hey older sis what are we doing here again" asked Rose I thought for minute and replied" We're looking for people to be our nakama*."
"Oh" she yawned. Gio began to use his paws to take off his and tried to talk to me with the muzzle still on. I put my hands on my knees and cutely asked
"What is Timmy stuck in the well boy?" He looked very annoyed at that and said things through his muzzle. I sighed and took off his muzzle.
Gio POV
'Finally she took off that stupid muzzle' I thought. I turned back into my smaller compact form and went inside her bag to think again 'but then again I guess I did deserve it. I just didn't expect Sinbad's grandpa and my master going missing or Her father dying, but then again I didn't expect her mother leaving us for some rich noble guy either.' I looked at the two sisters again walking around trying to look for a place to stay for the night.
' I mean who leaves a smart, nice, funny alchemist like Sinbad's dad? Or a leaving a father in law who was a skilled mage, come on seriously? So what if we weren't filthy rich we still had a good amount of money or that master was a bit loony.' I sighed I guess that woman won't get that through her head.
"Gio san … this man wants to see our guardian can you come out?" Sinbad asked me. However I remained inside because every time this happens that man or woman would scream and began to poke me and ask "Amazing! How do you get this little stuff animal to talk?" or "Ahh! What is that thing that can't be real can it? We've only been traveling for a week and I already know their reaction to me. I wonder how Sinbad always gets me out.
"Hey Gio if you come out I'll buy you cake of your choice." said Sinbad My ears perked up "cake? Cake!" I zoom out her bag saying in a cheerful voice "Why hello good sir my name is Gio I am these little girls' guardian it's nice to meet you." The manger looked at me with wide eyes. I sweat dropped' oh so this is how she does it. Curse my weakness for anything sweet!' The manger still had the same look on his face and began to poke me while saying "Here's your room key and also stay away from a boy with bright orange hair and hazel eyes"
Sinbad POV
Curios by this I asked the sabsaban* "why ""Because even though that boy is about the same age as you he is a dragon! He will try to eat you two!'' Sabsaban exclaimed pulling Gio's cheek. He looked very mad and was about to say something before grabbing him and saying "Arigato Sabsaban for the warning. I'll watch out for the dragon-boy. Bye-bye." Then I walked up to our room to drop off our stop. While I was looking in the mirror checking my vibrant red hair and my emerald green eyes, Gio and rose causally asked " You're gonna ask that dragon boy to be part our nakama, right?'' Dang how did he knew. "Nooo. Of course not you guys heard Sabsaban that boy is dangerous.'' I said innocently. They both raised an eyebrow with their arms crossed. "Ok I am. But come on He's probably like us, no parents no one to take care of you lonely and sad." I replied 'I mean yeah so what if he is part dragon he is still human, right? Papa always said people who may seem strange are interesting.'
Both Rose and Gio closed their eyes and sighed. Which meant…? "Alright! Let's look for Dragon Boy!'' I cheered with my fist in the air while leaving the room through the closet door. They both sweat dropped when I came out still in my cheery mood, grabbing them, skipping out of the room, hall, and the hotel. We were walking around town Rose was walking beside me and Gio was resting on my shoulder asking if we really are getting him a cake. I told him "Of course!" "Really!?" he asked excitedly jumping off my shoulder with glitters for eyes.
I stopped thought for a second then replying "Yes, after Dragon Boy agrees to be our nakama." Gio just floated there and then fell to the ground crying saying how mean I was for tricking him. Rose being the nice little girl she is picked him up and gave him a piece of candy. Immediately his mood changed. I sweat dropped at his sudden changed of mood. I was about to say something but then I saw a boy with bright orange hair sitting by himself…
