Magi: The Journey of a Guardian
Before
ME: HIHIHIHI I decided to do a Magi Fanfic! I'm not sure on pairings at the moment but I am thinking this could turn out to be either an AladinnxOC or AlibabaxOC fic.
Well I don't own Magi or any of its characters. I only own my OC.
Chapter 1: Wait, what do you mean we're in this together and what is a Guardian?
Robin's POV
"Mum, I'll see you later. I'm going now!"
I ran out the door of my house, closing it in the process, and down the street towards the nearest bus stop. Today I was going to the museum in the city. They had just opened a new Arabian exhibit. I love the Far East and its past. There's something magical about it all, something that I can't really put into words. I smiled as the bus rolled up to the stop, for some reason I can't quite shake the feeling that something amazing is going to happen.
*Mini Time skip*
"Wow! So cool!" I whispered while looking at all the new exhibits. No wonder it was hard to get into here, all these artefacts are so cool! I slowly walked around, gazing at everything in awe. All of a sudden a flash of gold caught my eye. I turned quickly to see what it was. A small gold bird-like light circled around my head. I quickly looked round to see if anyone else had noticed it. Nope, they're too absorbed in the exhibits. I watched the little golden bird begin to fly off in a certain direction. "Wait!" I whispered, pushing through crowds of people to follow the bird.
The little bird stopped outside a door saying "Authorized Personnel Only". I watched it. It seemed like it was trying to get me to open the door. "Hmmmmmm. Okay! A little peek wouldn't hurt now would it?" I grabbed hold of the door handle and pushed. The door opened with ease.
"That's odd. Shouldn't it be locked?" I muttered as I crept into the dark room. I quietly followed the bird through the dark room until it stopped. I gasped. It was a set of huge stone doors with a gold emblem in the middle.
"WOW! It's beautiful!" I stepped closer to the doors and placed one of my hands on the stone. "It's warm." I muttered. All of a sudden I heard a voice.
"Robin open the door." I looked around the room but no one was there. Hmmmm. "Okay I'll give it a try!"
I placed my other hand onto the door and pushed with all my might but the door didn't budge. The little bird-like light landed on the circle emblem. I looked closely at it. It seemed like a gold circle with two interlinking octagons (?).
"Why do I recognize this design…..? It's like the design on the dungeon door on that anime my friend watches! I wonder….? OPEN SEASME!" I said while pushing the door. Instantly the door began to open.
"Well Done. Welcome Robin, Guardian of Magi. Welcome to your new world!" A voice said.
Then I blacked out.
3RD Person POV *same time that Robin began to follow the ruhk*
"My King… O great magician… I will grant you wish… Whether it be vast wealth, rule over millions of stars or eternal life. Tell me then… what is your wish?" The blue giant asked the small blue haired boy. The ruhk danced around him the giant. The boy stayed silent, pondering what to wish for. Finally the boy smiled and answered the giant. The giant was shocked at his answer.
"If you so desire, you may have fortune, fame and eternal life." The blunette shook his head and smiled at the giant.
"No thanks. I just have one wish." He said while holding out his hand to the blue giant.
"Be my friend!"
Days Later…
Aladdin laughed and smiled while reading. Ugo smiled but looked uneasy.
"Don't you regret wishing… for me to be your friend?"
"Not at all!" Aladdin said in a cheery voice. "Now every day is fun! Besides you can't go out because you're the palace's keeper! And… I can't leave me dear friend… here all alone!"
A shadow crossed the giant's face and he smiled weakly. Aladdin looked at him confused.
"Thank you Aladdin. However the time for you to leave has come. Now no one will be able to control your heart." Aladdin was shocked at what his friend was saying.
"May I ask one thing? When you leave, seek out the Djinn's metal vessels. I wish to meet my peers."
"Okay! You got it! Bye Ugo!
The Oasis of Usan
Robin's POV
How long have I been walking? The door? No I'm not there anymore… That voice told me…
*Flashback*
"Robin. Find the boy with blue hair who can see and use the ruhk. You are no longer in your own world. Go Robin! You are the Guardian of Magi, Protector of the light! Go into this world and find your destiny"
*END*
That's right… I have to find him… but it's too hot….. Help….. Someone….. Please….
The world then faded to black.
3rd person POV
"Laylah! Someone's passed out on the ground!" Sahsa cried out. A girl with brown hair which had been braided and was wearing baggy trousers, a long blue top decorated with gold that went down to her knees and blue flats.
"OI! SOMEONE STOP THE CARAVAN!" Laylah yelled. Both she and Sahsa ran to the girl. Laylah pulled the girl into her arms. The girl's lips were dry and cracked. Both girls looked at each other worried.
"SOMEONE GET SOME WATER OVER HERE NOW!"
Aladdin's POV
"Please… Help me… Food… Water…." I panted weakly. It's been too long since I last had anything… at this rate… The men around me laughed.
"You're asking a den of thieves for help?" one asked
"Strip him of everything and sell it! It won't get us much though." Another said.
One quickly grabbed my jacket and hoisted me up into the air. I whimpered weakly.
"He's just a weak child!" All of a sudden Ugo's arms came out of my flute. There was a lot of screaming and other sounds too. Once it ceased I began to beg again.
"Fooooooooodddddd. Foooooooooood."
"GAH PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!"
Later on….
Robin's POV
"GET YER FRUIT! FRESH WATEMELON! SNOW MELON! WHITE APRICOT! COCONUT! YOU CAN'T GROW THESE AROUND HERE!"
"COME GATHER ROUND EVERYONE! WE'VE GOT ALL SORTS THAT YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE!" I yelled to the crowd. I smiled at Laylah who smiled back at me.
"OI YOU OLD DRUNKARD THIS GOES WELL WITH WINE!"
"HEY GATHER ROUND! HEY OVER THERE WHY DON'T YOU BUY SOME OF THIS IT'S REALLY REFRESHING!" I yelled. People began flocking around Laylah and myself, asking for or wares at reasonable prices. Ahh Bazaars are so fun! All of a sudden a girl with dark skin, black hair and a classical Arabian styled outfit for women.
"Sahsa!" I said smiling. She smiled at me and patted my head while refilling boxes with fruit.
Laylah wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled.
"We're sure to sell everything. You're doing a really good job too Robin." I smiled at Laylah
"Wow! It's all thanks to you Laylah. Robin You've also be so helpful." I grinned at Sahsa. Sahsa exclaimed to Laylah about how happy she was about her being a part of the caravan. I watched Laylah smiled and laugh in embarrassment.
"Hey Laylah, we need more watermelons and Apricots." I said, alerting her of the stock that was about to run out. She nodded. After asking another member of the caravan to watch the store the three of us left for the cart containing our wares.
"Let's try to sell as much as we can you two!" Laylah cheered and continued to speak.
"After all we all worked hard to bring these goods here!" Laylah grabbed the cloth that covered the back of the cart. The three of us were about quickly grab some of the watermelons that we had left near the front but discovered they were gone. Instead we found a boy around my age (13) with blue hair with a turban on his head, wearing only white baggy trousers with a sash and a blue jacket/ waistcoat. Next to him lay a gold flute with a symbol on. Melon juice was all around the boy and the flute and broken melons lay scattered on the floor of the cart. The boy, oblivious to our presence, continued to eat our watermelons. Sahsa screamed while Laylah drew a knife. I quickly stepped forward, drew close to the boy and placed my nails, which had lengthened and turned as sharp as knives, against his throat (Me: Hi just to note Robin was trained as an assassin in her younger years before she was saved and became a part of a normal family). This added to Laylah's shock. She drew closer to the boy.
"W-Who are you?" She asked. I kept my eyes on the boy at all times. There's no way he's going to hurt the two who saved my life. Ignoring both the knife in Laylah's hand and my nails, the boy smiled at us.
"Hi! I'm Aladdin. I'm a traveller! But right now… I'm eating this sweet red fruit!" wow he is pretty… stupid. Laylah instantly got angry.
"WHAT!? YOU'RE A THEIF THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE! THAT FRUIT IS PRECIOUS TO US!" Laylah yelled at the boy, no Aladdin. I sighed and removed my hand from his neck and placed my hand on my hips and puffed out my cheeks. He realized what he had done wrong, apologized and asked how he could repay us. Laylah decided he was to work for her for free for three days.
"You're silly. You could get killed for stuff like that! Why did you do it?" I asked Aladdin. Laylah had made him carry some watermelons back to the bazaar. I walked beside him with a sack of oranges over my shoulder.
"I was hungry!" He cried out with a pout. I laughed. He looked me slightly confused. I may as well introduce myself…
"I'm Robin! I'm 13. Laylah and Sahsa saved me out in the desert so I decided to help them out for a bit before I set off for the next town." I said smiling. He nodded. All of a sudden I saw the ruhk fly past me, almost as if they were in a rush. That's odd they only act like that if something bad is going to happen.
"Layah, Can I give you these? I just realized I need to do something." Laylah nodded. I quickly handed over the sack and ran after the ruhk.
*Time skip* (In this time Aladdin shows off Ugo to Laylah and Sahsa and the event in the evening)
The next day….
Before the caravan's meeting I decided to speak to the caravan leader. I asked him for the directions to Qishan. I had heard after spying on some bandits yesterday that there was a dungeon there. That's where the voice said I would definitely find the magi I would serve… Argh why can't I go back to my own world? Ah never mind. I may as well enjoy myself here…
"Here Robin. This is a spare map I own. I have plotted the different routes you can take to Qishan." I smiled and thanked the leader. I decided I would wait for the meeting to be over before I said my goodbyes.
Eventually everyone arrived and began disputing over what route to take. Laylah had advised them not to take route 3 because of some reason. All of a sudden some of the bandits I saw yesterday walked over to us, claiming they knew Laylah and she was a bandit. I clenched my fists. How dare they… I watched the caravan leave, leaving Laylah, myself and Aladdin by ourselves.
"Laylah!"
"Miss! They took route 3! We gotta go help your friend." Aladdin said while pointing at the leaving caravan.
"My friend? No I was wrong about that. I just remembered. When I reveal myself the performance is all over. I've done it before. She's just like all the other suckers…" I clenched my fists harder. I felt liquid, most likely blood trickle from my fist into the floor.
Stupid bandits hurting her feeling…
"Laylah! Your better than them. You're no bandit. You are a kind, protective person who loves her friends. Go after her Laylah, Save Sahsa!" I yelled at her. I watched her freeze. Aladdin asked her about living honestly and she finally faced us. Tears streaming down her face.
"It's too late. We're never going to catch up to them!" I smiled at her.
"Laylah. I was brought up as an assassin. Even though I'm not one anymore I'm sure I can catch up to them! I'll help save Sahsa. Anyway I still haven't thanked you two for saving me!" I said, offering a hand to her.
"Leave it to me Miss! I'll make sure that the two of us along with Robin can reach them in time!"
