Prologue (and sort of backstory to the boys)
I was gone one month. Only one month. And Hakuei and Sinbad meet in the manga? What the heck? And in such a terrible way! I'm happy that they met, but in that setting? In the middle of a war, with her distressed and him about to fight her family? I'm not okay!
When I ended the last story, one person reviewed saying that they knew that they were the future kids of Sinbad and Hakuei. Hahahaha…yes and no.
Who am I? Well, that's a tough one. See, I'm not really sure. And if I don't know myself, I can't give you the proper answer now can I? My brother would get mad at me if I did, saying something about how lying is rude. Ah well, I guess I can give you a summary.
I know my parents. My mom was princess Hakuei of the Kou Empire, and was supposed to be the queen of Sindria. My dad, the guy with purple hair, is King Sinbad of Sindria, and head of the 7 seas alliance. Cool right? I know a lot about them! I guess that's a given. I've been following them around my whole life. Too bad they don't know that. My life would be so much easier if they knew I existed. See, here's the thing. When my mom was pregnant with me, she kinda bit the dust. Ow! My little brothers saying that's rude to say it like that.
You know it is!
Well how do you want me to say it? Okay fine, 'passed away.' Ow! Why did you hit me again?
She didn't die!
Oh, right. She didn't' technically die. I guess you could say it was…um, kind of like a coma. So she was still alive, but just, not really doing much. Kind of like what happened to that mister Alibaba a while ago? Sounds right. Anyway, after that happened, my dad was pretty upset. So he went to some guy with a hat,
Yunan. His name was Yunan.
Was it? I thought that was a different guy.
How am I the younger one?
Hey, no more sass! Yunan said that he could help fix my mom, but he had to redo the world in order to do it. Pretty big debt, am I right? Dad agreed, but things didn't go right. I guess it kind of turned out as planned, but it was a sad plan. The entire world changed. Or at least theirs I guess. Yeah, he changed it. Basically sent everyone to another universe and changed it so that my mom had never met my dad. For a while it probably went well. They would have both lived their own lives, separate and happy.
Sort of.
That's true. I bet they were happy, but not as happy as when they were together.. Sure, that's biased coming from their kids, but it's true! Later though, on the day that reality changed, Yunan promised to give my dad and a few of his friends their memories back. That's good, cause we'll need our dad to have his memories for us to find him. Ow! Don't kick me!
Don't just say that without explaining!
What is left to explain?
They don't know that we need to find them! And you're forgetting the most important part!
What?
You haven't introduced us yet!
…I was GETTING to that.
No you weren't.
How would you know? Sheesh! Anyway, yeah, there's us too. You're probably wondering what this has to do with all of us. Or why we even exist, if we were never born. Well, mom was pregnant with me, so that was a new human life. And once the world changed, it wasn't like I was just going to disappear. So I popped up in a plane of non-existence I guess. I can skip from time to time, wherever I want, with no one seeing, hearing or ever finding me. Heck, I can even go into alternate universes! Trust me, they are weird. People can see me in them, if they are REALLY different from our world. Like, in a different timeline and stuff. But I don't exist in any world right now, so all I can do is watch. At least, not yet. We're hoping to change that.
Hey! What about me!
I was getting to that, don't be impatient. And this is my little brother. I guess he was supposed to be born sometime after me, because here he is! The reason you can't hear him speak is because, he can't. Well, he can, but not very well. Since he wasn't alive when mom died, yet was still born because he was supposed to be in the time line, he's a bit impaired. He was blind and deaf when I first found him. Eventually that passed, but now he can't talk right. We're working on it. He's about…6, and I'm 12. I think. I'm bad with remembering ages. We're both really tall for our age though. We think we get that from our mom's side growing up really quickly, and dad's height. It's undetermined.
What do you think we should let them call us?
Huh. I'm not sure. He doesn't' have a name. Neither of us have names, since no one was around to really name us. Sometimes I like to call myself Jafar, and brother likes to call himself K. Other times I like to call myself Masrur, and my brother calls himself Seisyun. We always change names. I'm not sure what you can call us…how about we stick with big brother and little brother?
That's so confusing!
No it's not! That's what we go by all the time!
But when we see people from parallel universes, they always get some kind of name to call us!
I'm sure they'll figure it out. There is only two of us.
The rate you talk at makes people think it's more than two.
SHHH! Anyway, so the reason we are here is because we've got to figure out a way to exist. This whole thing where we're hopping from universe you universe? That's only a temporary thing. We need to find the new universe that our parents are in and make sure they get together so that we can be born! If we don't have any chance of existing, we will fade away. Aka-die. Not that heaven sounds bad. Sounds pretty good if you ask me, but that's not the point. I want to exist! I want to meet my dad, and not just stalking him and mom throughout their lives. So we've got to find them and fix them up!
It's easier said than done however.
Right. There's a few roadblocks in our way. One: we don't know WHICH universe they are in. There are a TON of parallel universes, and we have to find just the right one that they are in, since only one of them would be our parents. 2: there are different versions of them. Parallel ones in different worlds. Which makes it harder to discover which ones are our parents or not. Luckily dad should have been given his memories back, and that will make him easier to find. I'm sure that he did something to get her back. Dad's tough, he wouldn't have given up that easily!
…Anyway.
And 3rd: If a universe is too close to ours, we can't enter it. If it's like, in the same time period or has all the same people, we'd just walk right through them. That makes it a bit harder to make any kind of dent, or even figure out if it IS the universe we are looking for. My djinn can only get us into ones that are different than ones like the one we were supposed to be born in. Sucks, right? If someone invites us in, we can go, but only then. I'm sure we'll figure it out somehow though!
How do you know?
I always have a plan.
What? You never have a plan. You just randomly jump into stuff without thinking.
Hey, it all works out in the end! So anyway, that's our goal. Us trying to make sure we exist. Sounds kinda crocidally huh?
I don't think that's a real word.
Sure it is! I heard dad say it once, at that memory we visited a week ago!
I thought daddy was drunk then.
Oh. Right. Anyway, that's our story. And I really want to exist, so you know, wish us luck I guess. If there is luck where we are from.
This is a very confusing backstory to the two of them. It's really rough, and there will be a deeper explanation into the story. This is just a rough explanation to help people get an overview and so I could get this story started. Read on if you want to figure out what happens!
