Prologue
Sinbad thought he was good with women. He also thought he was good with assassins. But ever since settling down after his most recent adventure, with the troublesome threesome, all that greatness he had mastered over the many years seemed to be flushed down the toilet. It was quite sad, really, him being extremely skillful and suave with the female gender. Especially when a mysterious women dressed in a black cloak drops down in the middle of his birthday feast with his closest friends (the Eight Generals, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Aladdin) with the intent to kill. He predicted it was a woman he had possibly offended and was determined seek revenge by murdering him. She had dropped down quite suddenly and albeit quietly from god-knows-where.
The king of Sindria was surprised Masrur had not sensed the presence of the women earlier. But then again, the big Fanalis was devoted to stuffing his face full of the scrumptious feast. Sinbad decided this woman must be pretty wise to drop in during a meal, but not too wise to drop in the middle of twelve powerful people. She either was extremely powerful at what she does or extremely crazy. Sinbad hoped it was the latter.
Ja'far, being the closest to Sinbad, and Masrur, who quickly abandoned his consumption of smoked goose, stood up ready to defend their king; not that they had to. Sinbad's reputation as the High King of the Seven Seas was not to be taken lightly, although he was also known to be the Ladykiller of the Seven Seas (but that's a different story). He could smoke everyone in the room right now if he so pleased.
The rest of the Generals rose too, along with his guests. The Generals knew not to make a move unless instructed so or if the intruder made any murderous move towards their king.
"What do you want?" Sinbad asked, observing cloaked figure crouched in front of him. He could only tell it was a woman by the slenderness underneath the cloak, and the one large honey-golden eye framed by long lashes staring back into his amber ones under the hood. He wondered if he had seen that golden eye before, in case it indeed was a woman he knew, but his memory failed him. But then again, there was that situation when the princess of the Kou Empire thought he had defiled her, but it was revealed it was her retainer's fault. "If you've come to harm the people of Sindria, you won't get away with it unscathed." He finished, taking a quick sip of wine, just to add flair to his little speech.
"My my, what a good king." The woman spoke after a slight pause. "I've come to do no harm, really." She paused again, rising and throwing back the hood, revealing dark purple hair pulled into a high ponytail with a long sweeping bang covering her left eye. She had similar earrings to the king, though they were a copper color with a bright blue gem hanging in the middle. With amused smile on her pretty face she continued. "I've only come to see my brother and ask for assistance."
And Sinbad almost spit his wine out.
