Untold
It all started with the first dungeon... The first to conquer was a boy named "Sinbad", but another story can be told, with the first dungeon. A story of whom was to dwell within the first...
Baal was the chosen Djinn to take root within the first dungeon, but he did not remain there alone. One other dwelt within, who seemed less of a threat, at that time.
"Baal! Baal!" A small girl called, as she ran towards the lamp. Her hair had been braided down her back, in a blue color. Her eyes a color to match as she smiled happily, picking up the lamp. Her clothes were plain, but her accssesories seemed to changed by the hours that past within the dungeon. A pair of baggy white pants, and a black tube top like shirt. Golden necklaces and braclets were decorated upon herself from her new findings.
"Baal Baal! "She called again, and shook the lamp slightly. With a slight growl in his throat, the Djinn of wrath and heroes came out.
"What...?" he asked in a slightly irritated tone, as if he had just woken up. "What do you want now, little princess...?" he asked with a yawn.
"I told you...! I'm not princess...! Call me Kyo!"
With a raised eyebrow, he looked down at the small girl, who had to be no older than 12. "And where did this new name come from?" he asked, as she set his lamp back down and stepped back.
"I read it in this new book I found!"
"Perhaps you spend too much time reading those strange books.." he spoke and folded his arms, as he shimmered down to a size that seemed more proportioned to that of a normal male. "Why don't you just go back to your old name?"
"No...! Need new one! She slightly pouted, and then sat down, copying his arm's gestures, as she folded them and looked up at him.
"I want to leave this place and go outside!"
"You are not allowed to leave until I do."
"Really!?" she said in excitement.
"Hm..? You seem more excited about the same response, than usual."
"A boy has come! And hasn't died yet!" she grinned.
"He will die soon.. they all do." he yawned. A stern look still remained on his face. But his wrath did not seem to have any effect on the child, as if she had known him for quite some time.
"Remember princess-"
"Kyo."
"Whatever," he waved a hand, rolling his eyes, "If anyone IS to make it this far-"
"I know I know... I remain hidden..." she sighed.
"Good. Now go away, and leave me alone."
She whined, and stood up. "But I wanna play!"
"Go play with the treasures.." he waved her off, and began to make his return back into his lamp, leaving her alone.
"You're so mean...!" she stuck out her tongue, but left him, reguardless as she made her way to a small back room that was just past the position of the lamps.
Hours seemed to pass, as the small girl once more returned to the lamp,
"Baal! Baal!"
He replied, not.
"Baal! There are two boys now! They're here, they're here...!"
"How do you always seem to know before I do?" he grumbled, from within his lamp.
"Because I can feel it... and the Rukh and more active than usual."
"Then do what you are suppose to, princess-"
"Kyo!"
"... Go back to your room." he spoke, calmly, ending his speech with just that.
With a bit of excitement, she skipped back to her hidden room.
"Hooray! I get to leave soon...!"
As more time passed, the small girl could only watch from her hidden room, the taking place of two boys around her own age fight for her caretaker: Baal. Her eyes widening in gasp as her eyes fell upon the victor. "Sinbad..." she whispered to herself, with a smile. Her amazement with him made her chest feel like a fire had been started. It was not much, and like that of a candle, but one had finally taken root in her small body.
"If Baal accepts him... then he must be someone great!" she giggled and grinned. But it would be many years before she would be able to meet him in person...
With the vanishing of the first dungeon tower, the release of not only Baal, but the child Kyo, as well. She had not landed close to where Sinbad had, but hie image remained burned into her memory for the years to come. A 12 year old girl had finally been released from the cage she had seen as her home. Her clothes plain, and only a few items of worth upon herself would help to take her farther in life from this point. But it would be a couple of years of being lonely before she would find herself teaming up.
Looking up to the sun, with a smile, and taking in a deep breath: "This is better than what the books had to offer... I finally got to be outside, and be free. I get to show Baal that I can take care of myself." she realized that she was now apart from her caretaker, and sadness drizzled over her face. "Baal..." she whined, as the sudden notion that she was alone, sunk in. She would have to defend for herself now, and be exposed to the elements and others of the world...
To be continued...
