A/N: I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed thinking about it! Now onward, to Sinbad's story, with an exciting twist in it!

Warning(s): Prologue

Disclaimer: I don't own Magi and I'm sure everyone knows that lol...

Prologue: The Beginning of the End

She smiled.

She was the calamity that smiled a smile so calm and bright that it shook the world beneath it.

He cried.

They all cried for their words would never be able to reach far enough in order to convince her to come back to them.

Sinbad was broken and it was all her fault for leaving, "You don't belong here." He finds himself dreaming the same dream every single night after she had disappeared from his world, and every single night he regretted leaving her with those very words rolling off his lips, the very words that would haunt him for the entirety of his life.

"I trusted you." Trust was a sensitive word to his ears but he threw it around so carelessly, and no matter how greatly he desired, he would never be able to take those words back now.

But as much as he wished, Sinbad never truly wanted to change anything.

It was her fault as much as it was his and he didn't want to change the past because he was greedy, because he was so scared that if he could bring her back things would never be the same again. He was terrified of the thought that if he were able to bring her back into his life, he would be one step behind from achieving what he truly desired.

"I'm curious about something Uncle Sinbad," A voice, Aladdin's voice, had asked him one day, "if you could change anything, anything in the world by which you desire, whether in the past, the present, or even in the far future, what would you change?" The little Magi asked him, Sinbad felt like laughing but he could feel the bitterness that continued to dwell deep down in his being.

Sinbad pondered at that thought before finalizing his answer, his words true to the feelings in his heart, "If I could change anything, anything at all, I would want a world without Minerva in my life, a world free from all my memories of her." They were harsh, like a blade piercing through your body, but maybe that was what gave him a reason to continue.

He couldn't save her even if he wanted to so badly from the bottom of his heart.

Though truthfully he wouldn't do it even if he had the means to.

A/N: It's been a while and I bet everyone's thinking something along the lines of, "Why is this dumb girl writing new fanfics when she hasn't even finished her old ones?!" lol... I don't have any excuses aside from, I lost my muse so I'm just going to rewrite my KHR stories. Don't worry though, they're not being abandoned, I just really REALLY wanted to get this stupid plot bunny out of my head before I explode or something lol, see ya in the next chapter!
