I remember the day I met him. It seemed like yesterday that we were both running from Parthevia and that we were both sailing the seas. While I was not from his homeland, I was sought after for helping him and just being with him.
Accusation due to association.
It did not matter to me since I knew that he was truly innocent.
The day after we met at the harbor on the edge of Parthevia we became friends and from since on we never strayed far from each other.
When I first met him, I never knew who I was and where I came from. No knowledge of my heritage and I was looking for anything that would tell me who I was.
The day he established Sindria he told me, "This is where you are from. You are from Sindria."
I had found a home thanks to him. In return I stay by his side and protect him and his home as much as I can.
I have long ended my search of who I am and decided to live this life as I please and not be bound to anything that would hinder my happiness. Even though most of my happiness comes from reading books and sailing the seas.
I guess that is why I am called Senna, Seeker of knowledge.
" We will be arriving in Kou any minute." A voice behind a woman with black hair said.
"Thank you Nakiami. That will be all. I guess I should be getting my things ready." The woman said as she faced the said person named Nakiami.
" Please let me know if you need anything. I will also be accompanying you to the palace that the Emperor of Kou has specified. Is everything all right lady Senna? You seemed distracted and on edge." Nakiami said to her.
"I am alright. I am just fighting a headache right now. I am going to my quarters to get my belongings. I should be alright until then." Senna said before leaving Nakiami on deck of the Sindrian ship they were on.
The ship arrived at the harbor in the empire of Kou. Senna was dressed in a white halter with dark brown capris and high-heeled gladiator like sandals. She wore a choker with a gem in the middle in the shape of teardrop. She also wore silver on each wrist.
"Ambassador Senna of Sindria. It is a honor to meet someone of your statue." A representative of Kou said as they bowed to her.
"Thank you but you need not bow before me. I am ready to live when you are ready." Senna said with a smile.
"Yes Milady. This way please." The representative said as he led the way to a large carriage.
Both Senna and Nakiami sat at one end of the carriage while the representative sat across from them.
"The King of Sindria arrived last night and is currently talking to the Emperor. At least he was when I left to greet you. I was told to bring you to the Emperor along with your king. Your friend will have to wait with the generals that your King brought with him. You will also have to leave your metal vessels with your friend for you are forbidden to bring them with you when you meet the emperor." The representative talked both women.
"I know all of this already. Can you please cut to the chase on what they have discussed so far?" Senna asked as she looked out the window at the scenery they were going through.
"Ah yes well….So far they have only discussed why your King was in Balbadd Lady Senna. They have waiting upon your arrival to discuss anything further." He told her.
"She means no disrespect Representative. She is exhausted and is fighting a headache. We were in Heliohapt when Lady Senna found out what happened in Balbadd and the news that she was requested to come to the meeting between our King and your emperor." Nakiami said to the representative.
"It is alright. I understand. I am not offended. I could tell that the two of you did not come from Sindria. It looks like we have arrived." The representative said as they went through the gates of palace.
The carriage came to a stop and they all got out. Senna handed Nakiami her bracelets and choker.
"I will keep these safe for you." Nakiami said to her friend.
Senna smiled and nodded.
"This servant will show where the other people of your party are while I take Lady Senna to the Emperor." The representative said to them.
"I will see you soon." Nakami said trying to get her friend to smile.
Senna smiled like she normally did back home.
Nakiami watched as Senna and the representative left.
"This way." The servant said getting her attention.
"Ah yes my apology." Nakiami said as she followed the servant.
The servant led Nakiami to a room where Sharkkan and Spartos were.
"What are you doing here Eshe?" Sharrkan said upon seeing her.
"I was not expecting that kind of a greeting." Nakiami deadpanned.
"It is good to see you." Spartos said.
"At least I get a greeting from him while you don't." Nakiami huffed as she sat down in a seat.
"Wait if you're here that means Senna is here, but weren't you in Heliohapt on a trade negotiations with my brother?" Sharrkan asked.
"Yes were here until a message from Kou asked Senna to come to the negotiations about Balbadd. By the way you brother says hi you completely and utterly uselessly brother." Nakiami said as she leaned back in the chair.
"Damn him." Sharrkan said angrily while Spartos shook his head with a smirk.
" Don't shoot the messenger. Anyways, Senna should be meeting up with Sinbad here soon."
"That puts us at ease more." Spartos said from his seat.
"Yea but while Sinbad may still have his Metal vessels they mad Senna give hers to me for safe keeping." Nakiami said.
"They did the same with Sinbad." Sharkkan said pointing to the table behind him that had all seven of Sinbad's metal vessels.
"At least if something were to go wrong we could relay on Senna and her magic to protect him until we could arrive." Spartos replied to them both.
" Lets just hope that doesn't happen that this stays peaceful." Nakiami said.
As Senna entered the great the emperor sat upon his throne she could hear he name be announced.
She saw Sinbad talking to the emperor at a Grande table that was really long. She sat the empty seat that was by Sinbad and knew she would be sitting there.
Senna quickly bowed to the emperor making sure she avoided all eye contact.
"I am glade you received my message. I am sorry that you had to hurry here all the way from Heliohapt for this minor incident." The emperor said to her as she sat down by Sinbad.
"I did get your message and I regret my tardiness. I do hope that this incident can be agreed upon without altering the many lives of Balbadd and that it is peaceful." Senna said with a smile.
"Yes and now that we are all here we can get on with the so called negotiations." The emperor said to them.
"Before we conclude on anything. I will firstly ask that all trade from Sindria to Balbadd and back are restored no matter what." Senna said looking at the table.
"Your King was telling me about that incident and all trade will resume. Now let us get to busy as some would say." The emperor said.
Nakiami was fighting with Sharkkan when the door opened to reveal Senna and Sinbad.
"How did it go?" Nakiami asked.
"As good as it could be." Sinbad said with a weary smile.
Senna just walked over to the empty seat by Nakiami.
"Could have done better though." Senna remarked.
There was a silence that hung over the air as Senna sat there deep in thought.
"I know you are mad at me for lying to you about going to Balbadd while you were to be in Heliohapht. I thought you were well needed in Heliohapht." Sinbad said to her.
"Mad is the understatement. I am furious with you and will take a long time to get over it. Not to mention how mad I am about how the Emperor of Kou can think he can summon me out of the blue when I should have declined but I had to see what mess you had gotten yourself into.
Lets not mention that Judar is lurking in the shadows. If he hears I am at this palace it will not be pretty." Senna said as she stared the wall.
"Well at least you will have these." Nakiami said handing Senna her metal vessels.
She put them and sighed in relief.
"We will be leaving tomorrow morning bright and early to go home." Sinbad told them.
"About time. A Graveyard has more cheer than this place." Sharrkan said with an exasperated sigh.
"I am going to bed then." Nakiami said leaving the room.
"It is about time she went to bed. Ever since we left Heliohapt she hadn't slept a wink at all and barely ate." Nakiami said when Senna was away from earshot.
"I worried her that much?" Sinbad asked?
Author's notes:
Okay I am really obsessed with this anime and the manga right. I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. XDDDD
Most of my other stories I am having really bad writers block. So I started this one.
Oh how I have so much planned for this story but you must be nice to me. There will be a lot of background info from the spinoff of Magi that has to deal Sinbad before he meets Alladin and Alibaba and also with Senna herself.
Some minor clarifications:
Senna means Brightness in Arabic. It is also a yellow flower as well.
Nakiami means no more tear in Japanese. There is a reason why Senna calls her that but it will be explained.
Eshe is Egyptian for life. That is Nakiami's real name and you read that Sharkkan calls her that. Again, you will find out why she has two different names and why Nakiami follows Senna as though she is a aid.
Well that is it for now. Off to do homework.
